Who Do You THINK Will Win The Job?

[Chevelle2]

I have no clue

The Packers can't go with Brett, because they don't believe he's committed.

They can't go with Rogers while Brett's still here, because you can't have a future first-ballot HOF played sitting behind your new guy.

Favre...


I honestly think if you start putting them in similar situations we will all see how much more talented Favre is compared to Arod, and thats not me sayin Arod wont be good... but Favre is just better and will more than likely always be better

If it is a fair competition...I have little doubt that it will be Favre.

Already making excuses are we?

I think what he's talking about is what we've already discussed in the past about its going to be hard for it to be a "fair" competition in the eyes of many..

Till Father Time catches up to Brett once and for all, I agree. At 38-39 he's still a helluva talent compared to all the other QB "talent" in the NFL. Kind of why he's still making 12 million this year.

If the Packers aren't going to let Favre fairly compete for the starting position, then he certainly can't win it.

That isn't an excuse. It is a fact.

thanks for expanding on what I was trying to say.. you hit it perfectly

BTW...if you need further clarification about "experience" and why I think Favre won't have too much difficulty besting Rodgers, tune into the NFL Network tonight at 8pm.

McGinn said it best after watching Rodgers' performance in the scrimmage:

"Playing quarterback might be the hardest job in sports and Rodgers obviously has a long way to go before his name can be mentioned in the same breath as Brett Favre or any other effective starter in the National Football League."

The fact McCarthy called Rodgers' performance "solid" is what makes me question the "fairness" of any competition for the starter's job. Rodgers, by all accounts I've seen, blew goats.

I think McCarthy is trying to keep Rodgers from taking more heat than he already is.. I'm sure in the video room, McCarthy will be using every other word opposite of solid...

I realize that...but the performance was not solid, so McCarthy LIED.

He could avoid criticizing Rodgers without saying a shitty performance was "solid".

Leaper... I woulda loved for him to say


"well as we all saw tonight, he's learning and he will continue to learn and get better and thats what he needs to do, get better"

Look, I think a number of folks on this board have been around the game enough to know that it's hard to judge a performance until you get in the film room, and this is especially true of a scrimmage, where timing and route running are often not spot on.

But to the bigger issue. Yes, I think Favre will be better right now, but I also have a feeling that if he were the undisputed starter from the get-go and allowed to make some mistakes, A-Rod would give us a better chance at the end of the season, in to the playoffs, and in to the future. I'm thinking TT and M3 think this as well.

So my money is on Favre having a good camp and TT trading him to anybody, including the Queens, who will give him value.

Precisely.

So why did McCarthy judge the performance as "solid" then, Noodle?

Rodgers.
