Favre to compete for starting job

[VegasPackFan]

So now again at the end of the season we will be dealing with the BIG QUESTION once again - will he or wont he retire. Soooo much fun.

The Pack would do good to re-do A-Rods contract RIGHT NOW and tie him up long term as the future starter for theteam. Otherwise, welcome to Biran Brohm for the next few years.

By caving into Lord Favre, locking Rodgers up long term is now impossible. WHy should Aaron accept a long term deal if the Packers can't cut the cord from Favre?

Why would Rodgers accept a new deal now? We can't pay him like a starting QB until he gets on the field. He won't take a backup's role and deal because he knows he deserves better.

So unless we let him start sometime this year and he earns his paycheck, Rodgers will be off to another team that will let him do just that.

I'm curious why you think the team is caving?

Its obvious that Favre can and will block any trades.

He has a right to report to camp, he's under contract.

What the heck would you have the team do? Their options are very limitted. They could say that Favre will not be able to compete for a job, I suppose, but that is hard to pull off too.

By saying that Favre can compete, they really haven't committed to anything.

Announce that "Rodgers is the starter." IF they truely believe in team commitment that they preach, then Rodgers is the starter week 1. If Favre doesn't like it, tough shit. Otherwise, ervything that M3 has said is bullshit.

ya, I suppose they could do that.

But what's the difference between that and having Rodgers win the job? Which approach generates more ill will and controversy?

I would say they PROBABLY have chosen the least bad option.

The difference is that they reinforce "team commitment" and that management will not tolerate any shit from anybody. The message they are sending now is "Its ok if you bad mouth us, lie, and shit all over the players who were here from the start. You can do whatever yoiu want and you will still have a job.". By saying "We are comemitted to Aaron Rodgers and he is our starter" shows that no one is above the team.

i think i will have a hard time being a packer fan if Favre wins the starting job.

In week 4 when we're 4-0....will you be able to say that?

I don't know. I've soured tremendously on Favre in the last three weeks.

I will.

do you have a link to this? I never saw him quoted as saying this. Not saying he didn't, but I never saw it.

Although, a Caveat to that rumor is that it comes from a board member who claims Rodgers told him that while drinking at a bar.

We've heard no official ultimatum of that sort yet.

Ah yes. BTW, that's a her not a him.

Ok, let me get this straight....again. Yes, I have gone out and had drinks with ARod a few times. In a small town like this, people have mutual friends, not a biggie. However, it was not told to me over a beer that he would demand a trade...he told a mutual friend of ours that if he wasn't starting this fall, he would request to be sent elsewhere. He wants to play.

is it possible that this whole time the packers were just looking for favre to request his reinstatement to show that he is serious about playing??? that is what they have said - until they knew for sure, they weren't going to make any decisions

NO, becuase then they are a bunch of two faced liars. Then McCarthy needs to apologize for being a decietful SOB and resign immediately becuase he doesn't have any spine.

Good to see you treat everyone the same piss you off and ya hate for life.
What did your mommy do to you as a child?

when AR was named "the starter" Brett wasn't on the team. now he is and there'll be "an open competition." may the best man win. after all...it's puting the best team on the field that counts.
