Teammates 'moving forward' with Favre

[Ballboy]

Why would Rodgers be "gone"?

He is signed through the 2009 season and then is RFA, Packers have plenty of time with him.



Brohm was to be a first round pick as well, whats to say he won't be better?

No Thomspon never should have let Favre back in. They made a committment and now shown that committment to be BS. Now Rodgers will be gone and instead of having a ready Qb you will have rookies or some washed up journeyman. Thompson needs to grow a pair, stand up to the commitment he and M3 made and release Favre now.

Again, Thompson legally didn't have a choice. Brett Favre is under contract. Once Goodell reinstated him, Thompson was contractually obligated to welcome him back or let him play for the Vikings. That's it.

Ok, I am one of the biggest Rodgers supporters maybe on this entire board, but There really was nothing Thompson can do. Favre wants back. PLUS Thompson is a smart enough man to say, well I'm not gonna be the guy who cuts Favre...and it's just dumb to trade him unless he goes somewhere like the AFC. So now you play good cop, and try to get this entire nightmare over with, and move on. I feel for Rodgers, but he has been great up to this point, this is where I will truly watch Aaron, shows the kind of person he is. If he goes the wrong way with it, well then I'm sorry. But I'm hoping he picks the good road.

Then he should have let him play for the VIkings. Grow a set and show that one player is not above the team and behavior like that will not be tolerated.

I agree with all of that, except the Vikings part. You just can't let thta happen. People in Wisconsin would burn Thompson at the stake if the Vikes got him and beat us.

[Pacopete4]

I think Sherman won 3 nfc north titles didnt he?.. not to shabby, and not saying I like him either but you cant rip the guy too badly

the GM of the 4-12 team was TT wasn't it?


and I agree... this team is headed back to Siberia the moment Favre is gone from GB forever..

whoa, whoa, whoa... where in there did I say it was TT's fault? It was a question because if I remember right TT was the GM in Sherman's last season... so go fuck yourself once again Harv... such a douche

Packer Nation would not have tolerated TT sending Brett Favre to an archrival. I would have joined them in the tarring and feathering of TT on the 50 yard line during halftime in front of a national audience on Monday Night Football. I would MUCH rather see Favre riding OUR pine than see Favre starting for an archrival. Period.

So what? Its one or two losses. But at least he has credibility and maintains the "team commitment" and "accountablility" for EVERY player on the 53 man roster. NOw its just a pile of BS. They are both cowards.

So your solution is to give into Favre's demands? I fail to see how that is growing a pair. I also don't see how it shows anyone anything other than how stupid of a GM you are to get nothing in return for a player on your roster that several teams have interest in.

cpk1994 is not a packer fan so theres no reasoning with him.. its better off to just realize that and take his anus comments with a grain of salt

ITs better then telling the locker room its ok to shit all over the orginization, don't have to committ to the team, show uup whenever you want, you can still have your job. This is about committment to the TEAM, something Favre is totally lacking.

my bad there, I just saw the 4-12 statement.

I think he might be a Packer fan deep down, but his hatred of Favre trumps the love of the Packers. As in, it's more important to him to see Favre fail than it is to see the Packers succeed. Shame.

I am a Packer fan. I just cheer for the TEAM and not sniff jocks like you do.
