From Ben Maller rumors:

The Packers want Favre to make a decision by Saturday ..............

It's Saturday. This is getting old. I never thought Brett would piss me off.

[MJZiggy]

But there have been reports all week that there was no such deadline.

[GBRulz]

our local paper interviewed several people from the area and many are getting tired of this. I agree to a point as I think the Packers should require a decision prior to the draft. Losing Nall really changed the sense of urgency on this IMO. No Nall and if favre doesn't return, you know we'll grab a QB with the 1st round pick. Hell, TT might choose a QB even if Favre does say he's coming back, so who the hell knows.

I remain optimistic that he will return, because if he truly didn't want to come back, he would have said so already.

ESPN reported today that the deadline has been pushed to 4/15. So, there will be a few more weeks to debate this issue.

You guys just dont get it do you?? That "deadline" is gonna moved back again and agin until it is draft day and all the "fans" officially hate Favre and TT for letting him take his time. Then Polar Bear is agonna parlay that #5 into the future of the Green Bay Packers!! Im already laughing at how obvious it is yet you guys dont see it.

That's definitely one of the "theories" being thrown around out there.

This little tidbit from Ben Maller's rumors might support this theory:


"There is growing sentiment among some NFL officials and observers that Green Bay could wind up taking one of the Big Three QBs available in this year's draft: Matt Leinart of Southern Cal, Vince Young of Texas and Jay Cutler of Vanderbilt. The scuttlebutt is both Packers GM Ted Thompson and coach Mike McCarthy passed on attending the individual workout of North Carolina defensive end Mario Williams, whom some have compared favorably to the late, great Reggie White and whom some draft gurus have predicted will be the Packers' first pick."

Patience is a virtue I don't posess. I don't want yet another QB who MIGHT help us 2 years from now. I want to win NOW. I also want to shut up the Bears fans I work with NOW (and in the immortal words of Sterling Sharpe, "It's all about me.").
Please. Mario, Hawk, DaBrick or Davis. IMPACT PLAYERS NOW!

Amen, brother!!!

New to the forum folks. Love what I see so far!!

BF will be back for at least 2 years. Here is why. I think he is still hungry despite all the "I don't know if I want the ball" talk. His fire and competitive attitude does not go away. It may have been dormant after 4-12, but the close to training camp we get, the more the coals will be stoked.

Also, I think he has faith in TT and MM. This is why I believe he will be back for more then 1 season. It will take longer then that to right this ship. If Brett has to put up with an 8-8 season to get to another Super Bowl run, I think he makes that commitment.

Welcome to the forum Packinator!

I agree. No way a guy like him can go out on a 4-12 season. 2 more? ...Great, more chances to go to Lambeau to watch him play.
