Can a great QB make an average team great

[cpk1994]

Like it or not we must compare Favre with Rodgers.

We were 13-3 last year and we changed QB.

You make it sound like the Packers chose to change QB's. Not to beat a dead horse, but Brett retired. Brett forced the Packers to make a change, not once, but twice. They were prepared to welcome him back twice but were told each time "no thanks". Nothing else they could do.

Wrong----Favre did come back, Packers chose to trade him...

What?? Did you follow along at all? When MM and Brett met, MM was ready to welcome him back, but Favre is the one who said he couldn't get past the negatives things that were said. Favre wasn't in the right mindset to play for the Packers. What else were they suppose to do with him?

This is a waste of time. Don't argue with them anymore. They'd rather see TT and MM and the entire Board of Directors and Executive Committee and coaching staff and janitors and concession workers and cashiers at the pro shop and 52 other players on the roster get traded before Favre, regardless of the circumstances. It's pointless to convince them otherwise, and it's really not fair to force our point of view upon them. Let them believe what they want.

Amen!

I think this is closer to the truth than any of the other things I've read on various Packers forums all summer. Unfortunately a lot of folks still cannot let this go. Some of the stuff I see on other forums is disgraceful! On the Press-Gazette football forum some creep is hoping somebody breaks Rodgers leg!!! Some others hope the Packers fall on their face so the Executive Committee will then be forced to fire TT and company. Can these people really be Packers fans??

I wish the Executive Committee could fire some of these so called Packer fans. If only ALL of us could get behind this team 100%, rather than cause unnecessary distraction by telling our 6 year old kids to shout "Fuck you, we don't love you, you suck" at our new starting quarterback, who knows how much better this team might be. And as if losing wasn't bad enough, now some people are wishing for injuries to our players?! FFS I don't know what to say...

Complainers/glass half empty people will always be more vocal. Thats just the way it is.

PB, it's been years since I heard the word "ought" used... brings back memories.

My main point is we may have overestimated the talent on this team. maybe greta play by our QB last year was the difference from 8-8 to 13-3. Thats the main point I am trying to make. Not sure. We will see.

Also when you are 13-3 and have a chance to bring back your QB who was second in MVP. I don't care the circumstances I would bring him back at all costs. Some of you may think different and only time will tell.

And you guys are right. Rodgers will need time to develop. I will not pass judgement on Rodgers until he plays at least a year. That is different than the decision to go with him. If we were 6-10 last year yes you go with Rodgers even if Favre wants back. But at 13-3 no way.

Here is something I learned 10+years ago when GB used to be almost impossible to beat at Lambeau. GB was never as good as they looked at home and never as bad as they looked on the road.

GB isn't going anywhere without Ryan Pickett and he hasn't played yet.
