OK- I'll be the first to respond to this illogical and ill-thought out thread (and you've been thinking about this for a while?). 1. You say the OL isn't very good. Agreed. So, you go on to argue, if Favre gets hurt, putting Rodgers in at QB without any experience would hurt him. However...

Trade Favre? Of course! That's the answer! After all, a lot of teams will be lined up, waiting to sign an (almost) 36-year-old QB with a $10 MILLION salary cap to a long term contract. Plus, they'll eagerly give up draft choices and starters to get this player! Good idea. Before anyone responds...

Pack66, so many responses, so little time. Good grief, your analysis of Sherman is quite possibly correct. Personally, I believe that without Favre he'd be Les Steckel. A good position coach promoted above his abilities. However, I disagree that the Packers haven't drafted to accomodate Favre...

Beab66 (this already makes me nervous, since "Beab" is only one letter away from "Bear". If you're expecting a rant, relax. Generally speaking, I don't do that. However, your defense of Sherman is wrong- headed. Comparing him Lombardi and Holmgren (the Packers only two Super Bowl coaches) is...

Quite simply, he was a mediocre player on a bad team. Yes, he could be exciting, but only because the team was so bad he had to improvise. Why? Because the offensive line was a sieve, and the Packers were playing from behind so many games (I believe this was the era where the defense was...

As usual, we look at this sentimentally, rather than as a business. Quite simply, if Henderson shows he can do the job better than Luchey or Leach, he should get the job. If not, the Packers let Henderson (and his $1 million salary) go and move on. Personally, I think the world of Henderson- I...

Good grief, lets get a grip here, folks. Hunt missed another mini-camp. This is news? Hunt doesn't play hard every down. This is news? The question is: if Hunt is gone (even with all his flaws), who will replace him? Oh, you might say Washington, or Coles, or Lee, or someone else. The fact is...

OK, on one level, Freeman (a scary name in Packer history, by the way) seems to sound good. But lets look at this from another angle. Right now, it seems like Freeman is expecting to earn the FS spot. So far, so good. What if he doesn't- and remains on the team as a backup? If you've ever been...

Greg C., as usual, an interesting response. I accept the allegiance to a country as expected (after all, what do we do during the "Pledge of Allegiance"? (By the way, did you know the words "under God" were added during the 1950's "Red Scare"?) However, the allegience to a football team is much...

vixtalkn and GregC. Welcome Greg C. and vixtalkn, welcome! As another devotee of the GB-NC, you are both welcome here (not that anyone needs my permission to post here). Its good to see old "posters" appear here. Now, to get to the heart of your posts. 1. Favre is one of the great QB's...

Mattresell, intersting outlook. Any player that doessn't live up to your standards is shipped elsewhere? My goodness- you probably still believe the "Jim Ringo v. Vince Lombardi" story. This is the new age, sir. The NFL union is strong, and players have rights! Get used to it!

A couple of (probably unwanted) points here. 1. Why do Packer fans (and fans of other teams) constantly talk about the team as "us", "we", etc. Good grief, my wife owns a Chevy truck (which she loves). Still, I have never heard her denigrate GM workers who want more money, especially taking the...

Gravedigger, welcome! Yes. this is one site that is still Packer-related and free. Another is "Packerchatters.com" (No link, because I'm not that computer savvy). I also mourn the death of the GB-NC website. That was my main source of Packer news and chat. I even gave the jerks $50 to keep them...

AZP, I have followed you from forum to forum (don't worry, I'm really not a stalker or predator). I thought your response about Sherman was good, but imcomplete. 1. Sherman had/has Favre as his QB. Yet he has regressed in the playoffs each year. Think about it. Sherman has "taken them" (with...

In some of the papers lately, there was a story that Marco Rivera, after signing with Dallas for a $9 million signing bonus, and after injuring his back, talked with his wife, then walked into Jerry Jones office and offered to void his deal (including signing bonus). Jones refused, according to...
