Favre to compete for starting job

[Pacopete4]

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

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?

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.

Well now that management has lost their spine and caved to Lord Favre, kiss Rodgers goodbye. Hes gone.

i'm pro-management in this debate, but if favre is going to be our QB this year, so be it, I'm ready to get on board - it sure would suck spending the whole year rooting against our starting QB

Paco, Packer fan doesn't mean Favre fan. I'm still pissed as hell for the shit he pulled. I for one hope he does NOT win the competition, but I think it's fair he be allowed to try. And I still hope he gets traded, and takes all the controversy with him.

It won't for me if Favre is the starter.

[Tyrone Bigguns]

It said in the article that Brett and Arod will split reps

The linked article at the beginning of this thread said no such thing...unless i missed it.

Who cares. Brohm can handle the job 2 years from now. How do we get rid of you though?

[FritzDontBlitz]

I'm good. The whole second string thing was a bluff. Brett called it, so they tried to buy him off and he didn't fall for that, either.

IM a packer fan 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.

i can't imagine our team would do to well after your purging, mr stalin

What if Rodgers has agreed to this already, and has agreed to stay on board even if he loses a competiton for the starting job? I don't think the Packers would have done this without consulting with Rodgers first. Rodgers IS the starter after all. My thoughts are that Rodgers agreed to a competiton, and has assured the Packers that if he loses the competition he'll accept that and continue to be the backup. There's no way that TT risks losing Rodgers over this. It's very believable, considering the fact that Rodgers appears to be an extremely team oriented guy.

they haven't caved unless Brett is out-played and they still give it to him.

LOL wow, such anger.


I'm happy! ...for now.

Why would Rodgers leave? Why is this such a guarantee? What were the incentives (salary) if he played/started or made certain milestones?

Will that monetary loss mean he's gone?

IF SO... why not...

Trade him for value now or risk losing him to FA and getting little/nothing in return (maybe a comp pick). Sure, you run the risk of Favre getting hurt and then having to rely on Brohm - but you also train Brohm for the future... or bring in some vet if that scenario plays out.


To me - I think Rodgers stays around. He still has one of the best jobs in football as a near guarantee and can stay healthy a little longer. He also has plenty of leverage for a bigger contract (you guys screwed me out of more money, you have no other viable QB, there's only X # of QBs on the FA market, etc.).
