Report: Rex Ryan Didn’t Want Favre

[Bossman641]

I actually don't necessarily think it is. Why is it that so many quarterbacks are better when they sit on the bench? They get to learn without having their confidence shaken. By the time they get in and are starting their 5th season, you have a good idea who they are.

Of course I think it's better for a QB to learn on the bench for a year or 2 rather than be throw to the wolves for, what is probably, a bad team. That doesn't change the fact that QB's get better from actually playing as well though.

Yes, Rodger is what he is imo.

All I can see is Dennis Green standing at the podium screaming.

"They are who we thought they were"

Thanks for the insight

LOL how the hell did this thread make it 7 pages??



Partial?

Naa....actually it was peeps discussing how Favre was really not all that.

[SnakeLH2006]

Snake browsed over these heated posts...and has one thing to say:

Favre may have not delivered championships ala Starr (abeit in an era with half or less the teams now) but delivered MANY stellar seasons and entertained the living HELL outta Snake and his friends and family. This alone makes him by far the greatest player BY FAR in Packers history. Yes, he underdelivered in post-season, yet it's hard to argue the core of his lifetime stats and what he did: MAKE YOU A PACKER FAN!!

Goddamn..I'm over the Favre shit now, as he might play one more year, but this is why we are fans....Was I the only one actually giving a shit for once about Jets/or even AFC football for once in 2008 just to see what Favre did. Yes, he's tailed off, but his mere presence/unpredictability/charisma is what made him not only the best GB player of all time/but top 10 NFL player EVER. Go with stats/championships...but no one can touch Brett with pure watchability...this is what made Brett great. Stop hating peeps and enjoy. Brett's the man.

I'm thinking some Packer fans that are still angry he came back and played for another team will admit this down the road. Time will tell.

I don't think there are many Packer fans that are angry with Brett Favre the football player, either as a Packer or as a Jet. Not many at all, really. I think most people who are upset with Favre are upset for other non-football reasons. And I think that anger will dissipate quickly, as long as we aren't constantly reminded about what happened last summer.

Personally, I've let it go. Or tried to anyway. I think others should do the same, both those arguing how bad Favre was and those arguing how good Favre was, both those arguing that Ted Thompson was right and those arguing that Brett Favre was right. Hey, Aaron Rodgers is pretty good too, and he's our QB now. Let's focus on that, and let Brett retire into the Packers and NFL HOF without being constantly reminded of the messy divorce, who was right and who was wrong.

Not me. As long as it was another team.

Same here. But I will not ever think of Favre in the positive until he at least steps forward and apologizes for acting like a whiny little jerk.

EDIT: Gotta put my response in the correct location.

That's also what I'm talking about. Let it go. He doesn't have anything to apologize to you personally about, so why are you so being so personal about it? Let it go. It's not like the circus he created/was part of will ruin the franchise. We'll rebound before you know it. Just FORGET what happened. It's over, and I think it all worked out in the end anyway. Just forget about it...

Im not being personal or agnry. Just stating that he pissed on the organization I root for passionately and made Arron Rodgers public enemy #1 amongst fans for a short time becuase of his immature behavior. I won't think positvely about him. That doesn't mean Im still angry. Just simple opinion.

But he does owe an apology to Packer Nation for the way he acted.

No, you're never angry are you.
He doesn't owe an apology to you or any other simpleton.
Really, it's just a simple opinion. Simple being the operative word.
