    of course I'll stand by Aaron. People also need to remember that we were calling for Favre's head for the first couple of years, too. I'm one of Favre's biggest fans, but it's only right to give Aaron a fair chance, too.

    and if Aaron by chance doesn't pan out for the Packers, I won't fault him, I'll fault the guy who wasted a 1st round pick to get him here.

        I am a Packer fan. Always have been, always will be. That's whose side I'll stand by.

          your comment comes dangerously close to some curious logic I heard from a radio show caller today. He said that if Favre struggles with the Jets, he's going to hold TT accountable for putting Brett into a bad position.

          The Brett Favre Cult is quite something. I'm going to counter with my own spin: if Aaron Rodgers plays badly, I'm blaming FAvre for putting undo pressure on Rodgers by creating this whole drama.

          What do you think, does that fly?
          I don't hold anyone accountable for Favre's or Rodger's, but themselves. I just think Favre's success or failure in NY mean nothing. It is up to Rodgers to show he can win with this team. Doesn't matter what Favre does in NY. I also think if Favre does poor or avg. that has no bearing on what he would have done for the Pack. It is my opinion he should be with the Pack leading this team, but he isn't.

            The only way I will ever agree with this decision is if Arod is GB's QB for at least 6 years and leads the team to the playoffs and superbowl. If he is around for a couple of years and washes out, we robbed ourselves of probably 2 years of the best player most of us will see!

              What if he leads us to the playoffs for 10 years and no SuperBowl?

                I'll stand by the Packers no matter what, and I'll support Aaron Rodgers until the team decides it's time to move on to another QB and then I'll support the next guy.

                That was my plan. Every single thing that goes wrong for the Packers this year will be Favre's fault for creating this sort of distraction. Justin Harrell never would have gotten hurt this offseason if it wasn't for Favre.

                  what if the jets and packers both finish 9-7 or 10-6?
                  One huge difference. We expect the Packers to be better than 10-6, if not, it would be a letdown. The Jets hope to be 10-6, that would be a big win for them. Regardless of stats, wins are all that matter. If it's a wash, we all lose out.

                    I agree with you on this. But of course Favre's performance is going to mean everything to the angry mob.

                      you set the bar awfully high for the rod man.

                      We lost 2 years of FAvre in his final, declining years, is the most likely outcome. I honestly doubt Favre will be as good this year as he was last. But we'll see.

                          It wouldn't be for me--even with Brett Favre. 10-6 gets you in the playoffs. Just like the 2005 team wasn't 4-12 bad, the 2007 team wasn't 13-3 good. We got some breaks, few injuries, and a soft schedule. This team wasn't nearly as good as the 1996 team, but finished with the same record.

                            That's what I have been thinking. Favre $hitting the bed again.

                              I've been on the TT train since its inception and have defended him lustily against all comers. I was skeptical of MM's hiring, being a fan of the Master of Bates, but I have seen that TT was correct.

                              TT has made mistakes. He handled the guard situation poorly, and Justin Harrell is looking more and more like the second coming of Jamaal Reynolds. I think he also lost his cool a little bit for about a month's period of time in the Favre circus. He said more than he usually does, and although I see he was trying to get the Packers' side out, it didn't work. However, all humans in all professions make mistakes, and on the whole TT has done an excellent, excellent job.

                              I think, given the difficulty of the Favre situation and the fact that Tampa was basically offering nothing from what I gather, that TT did well to get what - barring injury - will likely be a third round pick.

                              I still maintain that if TT and MM had let Favre come back at the last minute after having said the team had "moved on," it would have spelled the beginning of the end of the TT regime. The team - the organization - would have lost all credibility with the players.

                              I was very, very pleased at MM's presser last week in which he respectfully but firmly laid down the law about Favre not being committed to coming back by letting go of the hurt feelings. So I think MM has gained points, probably in the locker room, and I again feel that this can be a playoff year, and - depending on injuries - a year that finds the Pack still in the playoffs after round one.

                              So I stand by them both, TT and MM. I won't say what record they "need" to have, because that's too subjective. But if the team plays hard all season long and plays disciplined, I'll probably be good with it all.

                                Good question; to me sports is about championships; for TT, MM, and AROD to be on a pedastal in my view they have to win a title.
                                TERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD. Thank you FLOWER
