We'er in TC now and the time to point fingers (May -July) has expired.

Some of us hoped for a little more acquired talent on 'O' in this off season and we've butted heads a good deal over that. Now that's over except for the TC cuts and a possible trade.

We'll see more players get a shot with our team (I expect) and maybe we'll get another GADO thrill.

For us to win we need the most out of our roster. Yet the last player that concerns me is Favre. If he toss's it up like we saw him doing in the latter part of 2005 then he'll say goodbye because that will be a sure sign that we're behind the 8-ball too much.

I don't expect that will happen. He'll continue to give us the same honest effort overall and excellent winning attitude he has for most of his career.

Shadow makes a valid point that Favre needs to be smart to give Green Bay the best chance to win.

Packnut brings out good points that it is often not Favre's lack of intelligence, but the lack of talent surrounding him that leads to the mistakes.

To me they kind of go hand in hand. When our offense is not surrounded by playmakers, the room for error is often very little. To me, what Shadow seems to hint at criticism of Favre (not being smart and taking too many gambles) is also what has made Favre special over the years. He makes plays other QB's can not and do not even try, and sometimes those efforts turn into mistakes.

We don't have many weapons that get Tory Holt like open. Some would argue that Favre should throw the ball away much more when an obvious target is not there. But the obvious targets are not there that often, and Favre is still capable of making some of the gambling throws that others can not. So what has led to Favre's greatest success also sometimes results in his greatest weakness. If you coach Favre to be ultra conservative and not make mistakes, you will lose many more special plays that Favre will make.

I respect both sides of this debate.

To me I'd completely disagree that the most important factor in our success if Favre being more clever. I say it's developing a running game with our young OG's and inexperienced RB's.

That takes the pressure off of Favre and then it will not be as necessary for him to take the gambles he often takes. We lack proven playmakers. If the OL/RB game is not there we'll need to take gambles to move the ball and score. That will lead to greatness and crap.

To me the talent around Favre makes or breaks this offense.

But I'm not smarter than the next dude giving views in here.

Most in here realize that we will only be as good as our running game.

We have to replace Ahman Green and that. . .

won't be a piece of cake.

I keep reading that our OL will be better this season but that has to be measured to be an creditable fact.

We have to use this season to somehow arrive on a similiar page. We are being sold on the system but the bottom line has to be how competitive are we in 2007.

We have to somehow get to real. A can of beans will never be a gourmet dinner. We need talent on offense. We need someone to step up at RB. We need some big plays at TE and FB.

If we don't see more of that this season then there has to be 'H' to pay before the next off season.

We as Packer fans shouldn't have to suffer through a similiar off season as we just did. It was pathetic.

A no show !!
