WHY are they against a QB competition??

[Packers4Glory]

WTF!

This is completely asinine. He has every right to come back. Really it should be his job if he wants it, but if he is ok w/ a competition then how is that bad for anyone?

Are Ted and Mike that dense? Is it just Ted? I think its both of them.

If they actually think they have a better shot to win w/ Rodgers then they should both be canned today. period.

AR has shown nothing to make anyone w/ half a brain think he can be more successful than Favre this season.

So what exactly is the issue? Brett isn't the first player to retire and decide he wants to still play. get over it.

This entire situation makes no sense if your goal is to win and get to the super bowl. Seems to me this is more about Ted and M3's ego in getting AR behind center.

THEY ARENT. Favre is.


"Mike told me, hey, we're a better team with you on it but wanted to know if I have a problem with an open competition," Favre said

[Packers4Glory]

Favre said he is fine w/ an open competition.

They don't think he is better than AR..thats obvious by their actions. So why are they afraid to trade him or release him? I mean if AR is the better option then we have nothing to fear by Favre playing in Min.

right?

i read that also, but didn't he say a couple of days ago he would be glad to take part in an open competition? It was probably stated that he would be #2 and not get as many snaps, so he didn't feel it would be an "open competition" that way? Just throwing that out there.

Why is Brett not practicing??

Did he walk away or did they not allow him on the field??

Gene Upshaw and the Union are characters who have not entered the stage yet.

The fat lady is not in site and we have to wait a long time for her song.....

QB competitions don't work because nothing in TC or even preseason games equates to real in game behavior. All competitions do is encourage improvement and let the Coach justify who he was going to pick anyways to the public.

This competition would have made even less sense because none of the media or fans would have accepted M3's decision if he determined that Rodgers deserves to start. So, a competition would have been pointless.

Also, Favre wants to play and has never admitted that he would be willing to take a backup role even if Rodgers clearly out performed him in practice. He's in this to PLAY, so his entire justification to come out of retirement would have gone out the window unless M3 gave him the starting role.

They made the right call to avoid a farce of a competition.

Brett said himself that a QB competition isn't good for the team. He said himself it's best if they part ways.

geez how bout you learn to read or at least post entire quotes

"I don't have a problem with competing -- you know that, but Aaron should be the starter right now because he's been out here all this time. This is more than about an open competition and I can do that, absolutely, but this is going to be mass confusion and that's not good for this team.

Yeah, because it makes sense to make your rival better.

He walked away. Looks like he is headed south.

[Packers4Glory]

he aint practicing because M3 in his infinite wisdom told him he shouldn't practice if he isn't committed to supporting AR as the starting QB.

Why do they think AR makes them better??????

[The Leaper]

The Packers stance is that they are not against an open competition, they just don't want one in this instance because it isn't good for the team.

Favre isn't against an open competition either.

Despite the fact both sides are open to an open competition, there won't be one.

No wonder they were talking for 5 hours last night.

[Packers4Glory]

the packers stance as I've heard it lately is AR is the starter and Favre would be the back up. no competition.

The Packers don't want a competition because they know AR can't beat out Favre in any way shape or form. however you want to measure it, Favre is the better player.

guess putting the best team out there isn't the goal this yr.

He walked away. Looks like he is headed south.

did you notice whether his shadow fell on his left or right side?

Hard to tell with PacoPete obstucting the view becuase he is chapping his lips on Favre's ass.
