Packer Blues, in all due respect, you're just saying the same thing 10 different times and rewording it a bit. You're obviously so focused on trashing TT that you can't just think for a moment about what's being said.

Favre had two of the ten best wide receivers in the league. Based on Drivers performance last year, I would say Walker/Driver would be the best two man tandem in the league (even over Harrison/Wayne? maybe) and Walker/Driver/Jennings would be just awesome.

So he can put a little bit of the blame on himself for not having "weapons".

Nice perspective Patler. I can understand those who admire Brett because they watched him go through it and feel like they shared it. There is a very natural tendency for people to have skewed views of reality when self-perception gets in the way. They saw it, therefor it is more heroic than everyday suffering.

It should be applauded but it doesn't give Favre any more leverage than it gives you at your job. He's living life and dealing with the hardships that come with it. Good job to him, but it's hardely a free pass to anything.

Favre is the most selfish, me first athlete I've watched closely and it's not even close.



I'd feel pretty good about a Favre retirement right now. He's a decent QB at this time with a big time me first attitude and 2 years at most in front of him. If he wants to retire, I'd be just as much of a Packer fan and just as excited as if he stays.

Just because Favre says something is so, doesn't make it so. His mouth has been chirping controversy for a long time. Every big time drama has Brett right in the middle. If it's the player who is making it hard on Brett like with Walker, Brett will stab the player in the back. If it's the organization making it hard on Brett, Favre will stab them in the back. I wouldn't want to work with Brett Favre. You always feel like you mgiht be the next guy to get back stabbed if you don't do it his way.

There are so many things wrong with this post! How is Favre selfish? Favre voicing his opinion does not make him selfish. Plus he didn't totally rip the team, he still said the packers is a first class organization but they should of gotten Moss to help the team win. I don't see the problem in that. It just shows me how bad Favre wants to win and how he wants to bring a super bowl title back to GB before he's gone. But I guess that doesn't matter to you because you want him to retire.

After reading these articles I would also be mad if I was Favre. Favre said he would give up some of his salary so money wouldn’t be a problem and all the packers had to do was up the pick one round to get Moss.

Question to everyone who thinks Favre speaking out is right....

If any other player on the Packers said this, would it be acceptable?

Plz note thread one when I noted Favre speaking out was NOT right

But his feelings reflect my own so what he did does not bother me much

And I'm glad to hear this riff raff of excuses for TT not making the deal happen appear to be wrong

The guy wants to win now; I've never thought he was that bright and it wasn't smart to air out his feelings in public.

The ball is now in Thompsons court to respond.

You really expect Ted to respond to this? I'd take that bet.

You are right there; Ted will stay in his shell as he had this offseason.

Re: Favre

And of coarse, None of these guys that you mention playing through adversity ever looked at Favre for inspiration while doing it. Nailed it on the head? More like the blind leading the blind. Pat yourselves on the back some more.

I'd say GM Favre rallying his merry band of sheep is more worthy of the "blind leading the blind" reference.

LOL ....and save his (GB's) money.

[Bretsky]

Well, at least there is new news.

I was worried if we wouldn't have a new Packer topic to discuss until August

[pbmax]

Find me the Super Bowl winner (or even consistent winner) that took an aging 34+ QB, built for now and had sucess.

Here we go again talking about the future. Favre is not the future of the GB Packers? Brilliant, what made you think that? Favre's age, or Ted Thompson's lack of respect for Favre? How much longer are we going to have to listen to people talk about how in the future, the Packers are going to be better because Ted Thompson is such a genius? If your subscriptin to "The Psychic Network" has not run out yet, please tell us all when exactly we can expect Thompsons brilliance to field a team that can score points.

Thats funny, here I thought I was defending Favre's right to speak out on an issue that affects him a great deal, and you see TT bashing.

Not one single person has stepped up to address how little Thompson has done to improve our offense. 3 years of nothing. But rather than come up with any kind of plausible argument as to why our offense is nothing more than a shell of what it was when Thompson took over, you want to bash Favre for telling the truth and speaking the obvious.

[pbmax]

Does the likely improvement of the offensive line or 2nd year Greg Jennings count as improvement of the offense?

Or are we just talking about the Free Agents that haven't signed this year?

Why in the hell should TT commit to a guy that is 37 years old and for the last three seasons hasn't made known his intentions for the following year till at least one month after the season and as long as four to five months after the season. Brett himself has had trouble committing to this team as of late.

[Scott Campbell]

Plus he didn't totally rip the team, he still said the packers is a first class organization but ..........

Yeah, the key part of this phrase was "but". He pandered a bit to his fan base to keep from taking too much heat.

It was a public attack on Thompson. Look at how the lynch mob here reacted.
