Favre to compete for starting job

[Rastak]

So you admit you suck Favre's dick? Thats okay, at least you are honest.

You seem to be awfully focused on dicks....not that there is anything wrong with that.

If there is a competition, I actually hope that they go with Brett if it's close. The only way I can see they go with Aaron is if he tears it up in the preseason and Brett comes in rusty. I don't think Aaron is the type that thinks he should be gifted it anyways.

I still think the whole think sets a bad precedent. That Brett is bigger than the team. I've loved Brett, but I never thought he was bigger than the team. It seems like others disagree. You have McCarthy preaching to everybody how important the offseason work is to the team, and then Brett is going to get out of all of that (something he's made known he hates). I've always felt that your best players need to be your hardest workers and best leaders, and I'm not sure that's the case this year with #4. He worked hard last year. He worked harder to reach out to the younger guys. Greg Jennings article in ESPN the Magazine is a perfect example. He said that he barely talked to Brett his rookie year, and that Brett seemed aloof. He changed a bit last year. His leadership skills this offseason have been severely lacking. The fact he skipped minicamps and OTAs shows that he hasn't put in the same work that the other guys have.

No no....not that there's anything wrong with that. I love Seinfeld.

Agree, Harv. Favre has to go out of his way this year to make this work. He is disrespecting the team and the other players with this soap opera.

That's why if this locker room disintegrates, it probably won't fall on M3. #4's "me-first" attitude may end up being the cause of it.

I'm hoping that this season turns out to be the storybook ending. Just hope that story isn't "Nightmare on 1265 Lombardi Ave."

Sigh.... so this is where we are at now? Instead of the pro-favre crowd rooting against our starting QB, we have the anti Favre crowd saying that they'll root against a starting QB.

I'll be supporting who ever is under center. However, I really do hope that Rodgers wins out here. He's put in the time, has the skills and is doing everything he can for the team. Favre's got diminishing, isn't willing to put in the time, and is doing everything he can for himself.

If Rodgers wins the competition and Brett accepts the backup job, I think we'll be better off for all this mess. Any other combo and we're pretty much screwing ourselves over.

I will root for GB regardless of who is under center; you won't see too many extremist Favre haters saying they will root against GB if Favre is under center

[BallHawk]

As much as I love Favre, I don't want him on this team. Period. Not as a starter, not as a backup, not as anything that has a role on the field.

Will I root for him if he magically becomes the starter? Of course.

But I still wouldn't want him under center.

How come BallHawk?

I agree with not wanting him on this team no matter what.

No kiddin'

I am willing to accept Favre on this team. If we see a Favre that has a season even close to last year's, we may get over the hump.

But if we see Favre's skills deteriorate, see him get booed for multiple pick games, he will regret having come back.

I will cheer him the entire way. I will also cheer for A-Rod the entire way. Because IF in the event Favre does stink it up in this so-called competition, A-Rod would then deserve the chance to start.

I am hoping for less game threads than some of the crap that went on tonight for a stinkin' scrimmage.

Favre is not a deity, I'm getting pretty fed up of the worshipping of him.

While its bad he wasn't at OTAs, how do you know he wasn't working at home? You don't need a personal trainer to work out. I'm sure he's in fine shape. I'm not worried about it.

I think starting an inferior quarterback sends the wrong message. May the best man win, thats only fair. This isn't a support group. This is a football team. Check your feelings at the door.

How come BallHawk?

1. I don't have faith that he can lead us to a Super Bowl. He can't get it done in the playoffs.

2. This team wants to get, and is getting, younger. Having a QB just short of 40 is going against the direction Ted and Co. are trying to accomplish.

3. Favre treated this organization like trash. I will never, no matter what happens, forgive him for that.

4. Favre isn't coming back to help the team, he's coming back because HE wants to play the game. So why not go allow a trade to happen? He's got some mixed up feelings about the Pack.

5. I believe Aaron gives us a better chance to win.

That's about it.

And Aaron is inferior how?
