Favre to compete for starting job

[digitaldean]

If that is the case, I don't blame ARod.

He's the one who really got screwed in this mess.

[boiga]

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.

You should really consider putting that up as your signature.

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

Good the Lions need fans. Do you and 1994 and mission and all the other haters actually read what you write? Guess it turns out the jocksniffers are the true fans and you all SUCK! Remember the team is bigger than Favre and the team is always right and whatever the team decides is the word of GOD blah,blah,blah you guys are comical.

[Chevelle2]

I just got back from vacation...wow crazyeeeeeee!!!!

Go Rodgers!

[cpk1994]

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?

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

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.

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.

Thats why I said, If McCarthy wants to show he means it when he talks about team committment, he makes that ststement again, otherwise he has been feeding the fans BS.

[Joemailman]

Actually, I read an interview with ARod in which he said if Brett wants to come back, come on...Rodgers just wants him to be happy.

OR you have told your locker room we are going to let the guy compete like all of you are and if he wins, he wins.. but the best players will be on the field because gentlemen, we are here to win a fuckin super bowl... and im sure all the players in that locker room will agree

Thats not how I would read it as a player. If m3 allows Favre to be thae starter, he better be prepared for the shitstorm that will happen when more players pull stunts.

If Favre wins and everybody sees it, who's gonna bitch? If Favre earns his job then he should get it. I've been hoping for a competition. I think Aaron can beat Brett for the job, but if he doesn't then Brett should be and will be the starter.

You know what Im done. Trade his ass to Minnesota, I don't care. I want him gone. I don't want to have to see that POS ever again!

youre a tool, sorry to be rude, but wow.. you must not be a Packer fan if you can even talk about Brett that way

IM a bandwagon fan at best and I can say whatever I want about that POS. I want him GONE you haer me G O N E. I don't want to have to look or hear about him ever agin. And he can take TT, MM, and M3, the spineless cockroaches with them.

Meds anyone? Seriously you're talking about someone that's brought this organization back to the top over the past 16 years. Has he not handled situations well? Of course not, but man, please show a little respect.

Don't worry man. I'm in active negotiations with CPK1994's mom to cut the sugar cookies and Jolt sodas out his diet. The hangup in the negotiations seems that she wants to include a spell checker for her son, but I'm trying to get her to understand that we don't want him back as an active poster until he gets his attacks on players, management, and posters under control (aka what being a Packer fan is really all about). This could go down to the wire.

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.

We're a forgiving society. You'll come around..

will the Favre fans forgive McCarthy if Favre is the backup week 1? I expect it is going to be ugly.

Why do you keep assuming M3 calls all the shots?

Thanks!

He's the guy who picks the starter. He has sole authority over on field decisions. All Murphy or Ted could do to influence his decision is to ask nicely or threaten to fire him.

So, it'll be all up to M3 whether the Packers start Rodgers or Favre.

Re: Incorrect

You have only 1/3 of the story correct. Cook was reported, by two sources in two separate instances, of telling teams Favre was going to play again. He was not seeking a trade.

He publicly denied this in both instances as did Favre. So it cannot be said under any circumstances that the Packers could have allowed Cook to find a trade if Cook was unwilling even to acknowledge that Favre wanted to play.

Problem is Bus and Faver only want to deal with the Vikings. Trading him their would be a miscalculation that would be enough to land TT in the unemployment line.

The LA Times ran a story around March reporting Bus Cook was seeking a trade for BF. The Vikings were not the only team mentioned in the report.

The Vikings only mantra started in June. Again the Packers possibly had a chance to trade BF in March but ARROGANCE overruled their thoughts.

[pbmax]

Tampa traded for him and knew he might retire. They made a conditional draft pick trade with the knowledge that if Plummer stayed retired, they would only lose a seventh and get to recover most of his recent signing bonus.

Favre has very little of his signing bonus that has not been applied to the cap. So there is no financial benefit for the acquiring team.

I don't remember for sure, but I thought Plummer retired from Denver and said he didn't want to play anymore. Tampa made the trade on the off chance Plummer was really just miffed with Denver. He wasn't and he stayed retired.
