FAVRE: Good Vibes Thread

[Bretsky]

I won't argue but I'm not fond of thinking TT is the GB Packers

I love the GB Packers
But I'm still not too fond of TT

Why do you blame TT rather than MM ?

Why would I blame MM ?

Overall I think he's done about what he should with the talent we had

That's about as close to a Partial post as you've ever made ... or that I remember.

And your comment to me makes no sense; I've never called for MM's head nor have I called for TT's head.

And Partial is right on more shit than some give him credit for; he's just the popular PR punching bag these days

What is wrong with liking our coach more than our GM

[Harlan Huckleby]

MM refused to take FAvre back on the team, not TT.

You guys are confusing; this has nothing to do with Favre

Is it anti homeristic to say I have just as much or more faith in MM as a coach that I do with TT as a GM ? I don't get it

96.3% of all TT haters turned against him mostly over the Favre fiasco.

Perhaps you are in the 3.7%

Your assumption shows me how little you read my posts

He may prove me to be wrong, but I've never really jumped on TT as the great one everybody makes him out to be well before Favre. I'll be happy to be proven wrong if/when he wins a title.

[Harlan Huckleby]

I know you are a long-time TT hater.


homophobe!

ahhh, bi-curious. I would not have guessed. Keep questioning, friend.

I can understand those backing Favre and wanting him to play purely for the entertainment value it provides. This is the viewpoint Mobb has. This is also the view the article provides, "Favre is still in the top half of QB's, it'll be fun to watch, let him come back." It's hard to argue with that logic and I can't disagree with it.

As a PACKER fan though, I can't understand anyone backing Favre because they want to see him stick it to TT or because they want to see him do well and win a SB. That is in direct conflict of what a Packer fan should want.

Because Thompson ain't the fucking Packers.

quote packnut:
. If Teddy got fired tomorrow do you really think he'd turn down his next job offer out of loyalty to the Packer organization and it's fans? Hell no. And if by chance, he got a job as the Bears GM or Vikes GM do you really think he would'nt savor the chance to beat us?

Color me surprised that this thread got back on track, if off topic.

I think the only unanswered question is how M3 and T2 came to their decision. How mutual was it or who drove the bus?

Bretsky also raises a good point. I think Favre would be doing this regardless of the state of the Packer franchise. My guess is that the lure of the Super Bowl and the hope that Manning breaks a leg might be as much incentive as poking a stick in T2's eye.

Ted is an asshat and a weasel and untill he is gone Packer Nation will be divided.
Plain truth, the healing will start when he is gone, the only way around it is a super bowl win, and that still may be bittersweat because so many Packer faithfull(the one who feel for the organization as a living identity of players and people)do not trust him.

all good points

IMO TT drove the bus but I don't care anymore

Favre has few friends left in football so as all he has left is family and football. His family will be around but he's not ready to give up the game. I think he's still addicted to the game and would love to win a title.

The TT stuff is a bonus but IMO not the main reason he's going to wear purple and yellow. It is a convenient reason for fans to beat the snot out of him if they choose

If Ted retired to get out of his contract or to skip having to prepare for the draft, then unretired at his convenience to force a trade or get his release or run the draft in place of his replacement, then yes, I would think it was underhanded.

As for the Bears or Vikings, doesn't bother me a but for either guy.

Favre was a big part of US winning a super bowl and a big part of US making it to the NFC championship game. He has earned our respect, tt has restocked our roster with youth and potential. tt has not earned anything yet. IF and when he does then we will give it to him and he will deserve it.

TT was the man who put together the roster for the team that got to the NFC Championship game. Favre gets credit for that success, but TT does not? I believe 41 of the 53 players on the roster that day were players brought to GB by Thompson.

If the Packers had made it to the Super Bowl, would you feel differently about TT?

[MOBB DEEP]

i think wat gets lost, tho, is that brett doesnt hate us packer/nfl fans; he just hates TT.

No, that much isn't lost. We all understand that.

What gets lost is that Favre can't stick it to TT without hurting the Packers. It's not possible. How are Packer fans supposed to view this? How are we supposed to react?

SERIOUSLY gun, do u think favre has anything against his former teammates or packerbackers?

im not sayn he's being rational but he just doesnt see any other way to "save face"

he needs a therapeutic session with me; the ultimate encouraging therapist in the DC metropolitan area - lol.....excuse the arrogance God

No, I don't think he has anything against his former teammates or Packer fans. That's irrelevant. His intent is to only stick it to Thompson, I get that. Now, do you get the fact that sticking it to Thompson negatively affects more than just Thompson himself? Don't you think that he should see it for what it is? The fact that he has nothing against the Packers or their fans doesn't mean that what he's trying to do won't affect the Packers or their fans.

Is there a way for Favre to stick it to Thompson without involving his former teammates or fans? If so, I could actually support that to an extent. I'm not trying to imply that Thompson handled everything perfectly, although I think he handled things as best he could. But I understand the beef between those two men specifically - so if revenge could be had in a manner that only affected those two men and didn't hurt the team's chances of success I could get behind that. But there isn't one. Favre sticking it to Thompson means he'd be hurting those very people he has nothing at all against. That's what it is. Are you okay with that?

i DEF get your point

it appears there's no "decent" solution then unless favre just swallows pride and stays retired

or, as i think u or another poster said, if he just played for a non-divsion team

sigh, its all STILL a big mess even after aaron did well, thompson saved face, favre made pro bowl, etc

in your opinion, whats a good remedy?

i certainly didnt think it would drag out for 17 months
