OFFICIAL BRETT THE LIVING LEGEND THREAD

Eugene Levy did a good Floyd the Barber on SCTV,
but you can't really improve on perfection:

Fixed.

[Brando19]

I think it's more along the lines of "ignore the prescribed meds and type exactly what comes to your mind...."

lol...that must be it.

[Pugger]

Hopefully not this far back......

No, 1973.

LOL You fellas keep guessing. Whatever spills your milk.

No, the Packers were intent on forcing that player to REMAIN retired. If Donald retires and then tries to come back but thumbs his nose at competing for his old job then the situations will be similar.

That former Packer wasn't retired. That former Packer player was frustrated beyond belief with his team's GM Ted Thompson. That former Packer player felt that his GM was constantly tumping his nose at hi in terms of getting him the weapons he needed to win another Super Bowl where 'of course' he strongly was determined to do so or in Green Bay. That former Packer GREAT. Felt he ws being disrespected by his GM and I simply view that as a fact or the TRUTH in terms of my observation and analysis.

This is a thread totally dedicated to the respect of one Packer player and his name is clearly Donald Driver. I'll not debate again what's so obviously true. Yet for those who didn't get it. Here's how I saw / see it.


Ted Thompson was hired to faze out Brett Favre after the way he handled himself (and that was poorly) in the playoff Vs Minny (2004 Season Playoff's) the year before Ted Thompson was brought in 9225) to replace GM Mike Sherman.

That move clearly reflected the writing on the wall as far as 'that Packer Great' and his future in Green Bay. His time was near up.

Ted Thompson needed to first fill his BIG shoes. Ted Thompson got fortunate and Aaron Rodgers feel to him in his foirst draft as our GM. The course was obviously set for that Packer GREAT's departure. This was going to be a delicate matter as that Packer Great was stil the NFL Icon.

Ted Thompson had to be careful not to make moves that would please that Packer GREAT or extend him as a Packer as the focus was on 'that players exit plan'. So it was to come and be until we come to 'the straw that broke the camels back'.Ted Thompson ensureing that Randy Moss went from Oakland to New England and not to Green Bay as a weapon for the possible prolonging of the Packer GREAT's career. Afterall that move or Randt Moss in Green and Gold would have certainly demonstrated support for 'that Packer GREAT' and that wasn't on the agenda.

That Packer GREAT got piss'd. What a player handled by his same agent not acquired by Ted thompson especially after he endorsed 'the Packers' acquiring him. Impossible to believe. That Packer Great just wasn't gettin it yet. I'm positive if you placed yourself in that players shoes you might want to choke Ted Thompson. Ohh he was that close to attaining one of the supreme talents at WR in NFL history and blew it on terms related to length of contract. What 'a fricken' joke. If anyone here bought that then please don't inform me of your gullibility.

That takes us to my term 'Shadow Ally'.

I believe that Ted Thompson and Bill Bilichick are Shadow Ally's. That they've formed a pact to serve one another. Debt owed (Randy Moss) debt payed. We just saw that payment on behalf of Bill Belichick and it's over the top so obvious.

If you observed this past draft carefully and scratched your head over how TT moved up to the bottom of round 2 to secure CB Casey Hayward for his late 3rd Rd. pick. Virtually stole that trade up with one of the slyest GM's in the game.

If you or anyone else here at Packerrats scratced your head over that manouver and judged Bilichick as getting duped by 'the genious', Ted Thompson.

You and anyone else havn't been paying attention to the TRUTH. You havn't got it to REAL and Tede Thompson. Our teams GM is way to obvious to this Packer fan.

GO PACKERS !

GO PACKERS !

How did Randy and BF do in MINN together?

[woodbuck27]

That was simply extreme frustration Sir.

That Packer Great was slow to get it. I believe 'finally' he was coming to grips that his time in Green Bay was about over if not finally 'just that' or OVER. He always ended each season and sometime before the next said that he wanted to be assured that the Green Bay Packer organization fully repected him or wanted him to lead the Packer offense as the starting QB in the next season.

I ask you to simply try to place yourself in his place. Ask yourself a fair question:

Can you imagine the frustration after observing 'the absolutely Monstrous season' that Randy Moss just had in New England?

If you were the Packer QB would having Randy Moss in the lineup possibly have been a bonus or served your needs to produce more offense Vs the NY GIANTS in that NFC championship game? If your memory is short and I hope not. Randy Moss had 98 receptions for 1493 yards (15.2 avg) and 23 TD's for the Pat's in 2007. How many WR's had a better regular season in NFL history?

Do you think 'that fact' ... of Moss's Monster season. Had no influence on that Packer QB?

I do not need to look at that video. I will NOT ever forget the emotion demonstrated in that video. I believe we saw exreme frustation demonstrated there without anger. We rather saw 'raw frustration'. That simply and often takes some time to heal. Often a Pro gets there and reloads with a reborn positiveness in time he/she recovers or gets back the competitive juices.

The man in that video was the consummate competitor and gifted Pro athlete. He and his attitude on the field in terms of his contribution towords wining football games was what football is all about.

That man was and wil always remain SPECIAL and we were blessed to see him play for so long and by far overall make our team competitive in all his seasons in Green Bay except one. That's just too obviously 'the TRUTH'.

I'll remind you this thread is about another Green Bay Packer GREAT. Donald Driver.

GO TT and 'please' respect Donald Driver.

GO PACKERS !

[Gunakor]

That was simply extreme frustration Sir.

Yes it was. And he was still retired.

Now I'll remind you that it was you who introduced Brett Favre to this thread in the first place, and let it go.

[woodbuck27]

I think you were the one who said history will repeat itself not me. I asked if you meant BF. I am not trying to do anything but clarify what your point above was.

Again....

I'm not getting sucked into any discussion about a former Packer and NFL player (retired) and anything Donald Driver.

GO PACKERS !

2007

BF - 356/535 66.5% 4,155 Yards 7.8 YPA 28 TDs 15 INTs 95.7 Rating
GBP - Offense 370.7 YPG #2 27.2 PPG #4

Those are amazing numbers for any team. Adding Randy Moss may have improved the team but not by much. We were a dominant offensive team in 2007. Also having Moss would have hurt the development of players like Greg Jennings and James Jones.

2007 Packers and Favre and Moss 92207) on the same side and NFC Chamopionship game Vs NY GIANTS would've trumped Packers and NO Randy Moss in terms of getting to 'the Show'. Randy Moss wouldn't have hurt Greg Jenning he would have opened things up for him or vice versa.

Yet that's moot as Ted Thompson failed to land Randy Moss and we'll therefore never know.

We're still off topic.

This is my last post related to this. I should know better than to "argue" with you.

It didn't matter who we had in the 2007 NFC Championship game at WR, BF couldn't hit the broad side of a barn that day. Get rid of the 90 yard TD to Driver and Favre's line is 18/34 for 146 1TD and 2INTs. Even when you add that pass BF's QB rating for the game was 70.7.

Randy Moss would have had ZERO impact on that game.

The only player who may have had a positive impact on the game was the GB backup QB. BF obviously didn't want to play in that game.
