Favre to compete for starting job

[Pacopete4]

i cant wait to hear what McCarthy has to say tonight..

[cpk1994]

youre not understanding my point.. HE DOES NOT have to sign that agreement with the packers and if he doesn't, they will lose a lot of cash

dude, hello --

the whole point is brett was like "omg the packers hate me and wont let me play"

now we are ...

he cant get back on it and say "oh i dont wanna be in gb, i dont wanna sign that"

he already _said_ gb was his first choice even tho thats probably not really true. we called his bluff... and here we are.

brett wont be a packer by the end of the season.

you really think the Packers are going to throw away millions upon millions of dollars and put him on the bench>?

IF they don't they should all be fired for being gutless cowards.

it has nothing to do with being cowards... like TT has said and in this situation it applies.. "its just good business"

It IS being gutless. You have now told your locker room that it is okay to stomp all over management and you will get what you want. TT is a disgrace.

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

[BallHawk]

The Pack are handling this well.

A-Rod will still be the QB on opening night, no doubt about it. But TT and Co. are making themselves look damn good.

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.

Even if Favre wins and is the starter during the regular season, can we start Rodgers for at least the first quarter of our first playoff game? I'm far from sold on Favre to get us to a Super Bowl because Favre isn't all that spectacular in January.

Lets hope so. If not I will lose all respect for BOTH TT & M3. All that M3 has said about team committment will be absolute garbage.

i agree about the Pack. i don't about who'll be #1...but if AR does win it, i'm cool with that. the best players HAVE to be on the field.

Maybe it's a ploy, but I doubt it. This team has been on a yo-yo enough as it is. At some point, you have to focus on how you're going to run the team this season. They've crossed that threshold already.

M3 said they had contingency plans if Brett came back. Though it scraps their plan A, they now have to implement plan B. I am assuming Favre is going to win the starting job. If he can't beat out Rodgers (who some in this forum think is the 2nd coming of John Hadl), the Favre sycophants should be just as vocal to have him hang it up.

It may not be the easiest thing to do, but they've got 4 weeks of preseason to get it done.

As for calling M3 spineless, he is between a rock and a hard place. I feel more for him because he's got to deal with the prima donna BS.

If this season ends with a divided team/locker room it can all be laid at Brett's feet, not M3's.

wow, am i the only person here who didn't know cpk1994 and imscott72 weren't the same person????? damn

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.

NO hes not,, He needs to nut up, be a man on the first day and say "Aaron is our starter. I said it all off season and nothing changes." IF he caves to Lord Favre he is spineless.

Good. Make a decision and go that way.

So you 'lost' a pick on getting Flynn - maybe he would've been a decent QB but hard to keep 4 on the roster if Favre stays as part of reg season roster.

I still like the Brohm pick and they needed to do something about 3rd string.

What else did the Packers do differently 'moving past Favre'?

If Favre wins the starting QB spot, I think management has sent the message that they think ARod is ready and maybe they use him more (especially late season). Will ARod really be 'fed up' with GB about not playing this year and leave - or will he be finally able to move past Favre?

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!

If he leaves, were fucked. Those who complain about Rodgers' inexperience should be the first to agree with me. If Rodgers leaves then we are left with an even more inexperienced Brian Brohm, who basically fortfieted his rookie season because the 3rd string QB doesn't get very many reps at all. How is he going to develop into anything sitting on the bottom of the depth chart? Rodgers is the answer long term, and every effort should be made to keep him happy and in Green Bay. Especially now that Favre is coming back, because like I said, that means that Brohm isn't going to develop any this year.
