[Scott Campbell]

Yup, for better or worse we've turned into TT lickers

Well, at least he's wearing the right color jersey.

very true

[Packerarcher]

I seriously can't believe some of you are STILL arguing this crap.

It is what it is....................The Packers No Longer Wanted Brett.......Brett No Longer Wanted The Packers!!!!!!! PERIOD! It happens....

The people that hate Brett are blaming it all on him going to the Vikings

The people that support Brett are blaming it all on TT/MM

Seriously.................DOES IT REALLY MATTER ANYMORE?????????

It's done. It's over. You can choose to move on with AR and be happy or live in your pissed off world because BF is a Viking. Who cares, right? If AR is as good as most think it should make no difference.

You do know that if he let it go Scott Cambell would have absolutely nothing to post about. Who are we to take the one thing that matters in his life away?

[Scott Campbell]

Scott's saying mean stuff about Bert!

[Pugger]

He is forever tainted. IMO.

Specifically going to the Vikings has cemented this in the mind of a lot of Packer fans. I was fine with him on the Jets and watched a few of their games. I knew that he wanted to go to the Vikings but he wasnt there so it didnt matter.

To specifically WANT to go to MN....well thats just childish IMO.

Is it? Was it really? Guy wants that 2nd ring. Vikings appeared one player short. There were a lot of debates about how "no team is one player short" - next thing you know he has a MVP like season, is in the NFC Championship game... and on the cusp of a Super Bowl - and the entire game outside of the 6 turnovers, the vikings looked like a much better team than the saints did.

OF all the other teams in the NFL Favre could of played for, the vikings were teh best set up for him to have a chance to get that ring. People are so focused on "all he wanted to do was beat GB" - no, what he wanted to do was win a ring. As it was shown, the vikings were indeed set up to win a ring with a good/great QB at the helm. 6 turnovers and an OT later, it was not to be. Still, it was the best landing spot for Brett across the entire NFL to win one.

If all he wanted was a second ring, why did he quit on a team that just weeks ago in 2008 was in the conference championship game?

If memory serves you've been a big defender of Favre on this site since The Divorce so I find your post curious. As long as Favre continues to play for a divisional rival it will matter what he does.

Because it wasn't his team anymore.

OMG!!! I said the EXACT SAME THING over a year ago!

I was told primarily by the pro-Favre crowd gushing over his greatness that since Favre is such a huge part of our legacy that the Favre discussion was not only allowed but should be expected at a Packer site. It was even explained this way to me by our Admin (though I couldn't truthfully accuse him of taking a firm stance one way or the other on the discussion). The give and take was that the Favre discussion be contained to this one thread so that people could avoid the topic entirely should they choose to.

Now the tables have turned, and the pro-Favre crowd gushing over his greatness have decided it doesn't matter anymore. It's done, it's over. Let it go, it's all in the past now. ROFLMAO!!

Let me offer you the same advice I was given over a year ago. If you don't like the tone of the discussion, stay out of the thread. Don't post in it, don't even read it if it bothers you. We've followed the rules. For the most part we've kept the discussion to this one thread. Don't complain. If you don't want to take part in the rehashing of re-rehashed hatred and support (yes, both exist) for a guy that shouldn't matter anymore but does, simply skip over the thread and open the next one. That's perfectly okay too.

Agreed. It is hilarious how all those who were claiming they had the right to talk about Favre before are now the ones who want to shut down the talk.

Really???

The NY Jets were in the AFC Championship game with a QB who threw for 2,444 yards, 12 Tds, 20 INTs and a 63.0 qb rating for the season. Just think if BF had stayed another year?

Um, care to give credit to the coach at all? Compeltely different team and defense was on the field last year then the year prior, and that falls on the coaching staff. The staff that was their prior... yeah not getting it done.

Favre knew who the coach would be when he asked for his release. Why are you trying to rewrite history? We are talking about 2009 and BF had to know there would be a huge improvement on a team that should have made the playoffs the year before.

You don't think BF would have helped the Jets? A team with an absolutely sucky QB gets to the AFC Championship. The Jets averaged 24 yards more per game running than passing in 2009.

Shit, with a competent QB this year I would pick the Jets as the AFC favorites hands down. The Jets are 10-1 to win the Super Bowl next year starting a QB with a 63.0 QB rating from the 2009 season.

And think what the Jets could have gotten with that draft pick they wasted on a QB! Perhaps they could have drafted another weapon to help Favre get over the hump! It's sad that the Jets weren't willing to surround Favre with the talent he needed to win. He had to go somewhere where the GM was willing to make the critical moves to bring in enough talent to compliment Favre.

Actually you are both wrong. I have no problem with this thread....I'm very happy it's still here. I guess I just don't see the point in continuing to argue all the so called "facts". But then again, it is a fan forum of opinions/ideas. Everyone that frequents this site knows exactly how every other poster feels concerning the Favre situation. I highly doubt there is anyone on the fence with this topic...people's feelings concerning the topic are very solid. Yet the same things keep getting brought up....like people think they can seriously change someone's mind. I guess this thread is a lot like the FYI room in that respect.

Actually it's all pretty funny. It's the off-season and we don't have an answer whether the big guy will return or not....and this thread is still the hottest topic! I'll continue to follow his career as long as he keeps playing.

[Tarlam!]

I'll continue to follow his career as long as he keeps playing.

Well, there is little choice in the matter. The free press won't let anybody NOT follow his career.

Which facts are we arguing?

This statement brings the argument back to the messy divorce back in the summer of 2008. But that's not the argument I saw taking place in this instance. The argument taking place here, as I read it, was about whether the Jets gave BF a better shot at that 2nd ring than the Vikings did.

OF all the other teams in the NFL Favre could of played for, the vikings were teh best set up for him to have a chance to get that ring.

Really???

The NY Jets were in the AFC Championship game with a QB who threw for 2,444 yards, 12 Tds, 20 INTs and a 63.0 qb rating for the season. Just think if BF had stayed another year?

That debate has nothing to do with whether the Packers wanted BF anymore or if BF wanted the Packers anymore or who was more at fault for that divorce in the first place. The time period in which these events being argued took place was nearly a full year after the messy divorce from Green Bay had ended. So I'm confused as to which facts are okay to debate and which are not.

With no logical link between the BF vs TT debate and the NY vs MN debate I was left to assume that your frustration was with the Favre discussion in general. My apologies if this wasn't the argument you were referring to in your post.

Well I'm still undecided, and carefully considering both sides of the argument.

You do have that fence post securely lodged up your ass. Maybe that's the real problem. :P
