Even though its unfair to me, because there has been more cut than signed at this point (march 14th 2006), theres probably more against me than for me, but some monkeys(buck,winni,etc) want to play this game so whatever, lets play.
here are some actions TT has done to try to keep Favre around:
1. He Fired Sherman - Hello!? He finally got rid of ol Sherm-head, who couldnt coach his way out of a paper bag. He is TRYING to get someone in here who can win some playoff games(the jury is still out on mccarthy, thats not the point at THIS time)
2. Hired Mike McCarthy - He hired Bretts former QB coach for crying out loud. Open your eyes, shmucks.
3. Hired Jeff Jagodzinski - Jag brings 'creative' offense to the packers. Creativity is a word that wasn't in our previous OC's vocabulary. He is also bringing zone blocking with him to help with the run game, so brett isn't the only weapon.
4. Re-signed Ahman Green - Favres partner in crime the last 5+ years, doing damage all across the NFL, not to mention a friend of his.
5. Promoted Sanders to DC - Bates didnt work out, but Favre only knew Bates for a year. What Sanders brings is something we haven't had in 5 years, the same defensive scheme in back-to-back years.
6. Big Recievers - Coincidence that Brett likes BIG recievers, and now our GM\HC\OC like BIG Wr's? Right.
7. Bubba re-signed - Favres favorite red zone target returns.
--------------------
This is subjective of course, as are the opinions that TT is pushing him out. henderson hasn't been re-signed yet, and if he is, add that for #8. When TT gets a good WR(which i think he will), put that up for #9. When we get some guards who will protect favre, throw that up at #10 for me, ok?
Now I know what some of you will say..
"TT hasn't done ANYTHING to fix that OFFENSIVE LINE! "
- Free Agency is more than 1 week, I have tried to explain this multiple times. The brick wall understood it, why can't you?
"TT let Longwell go to the VIKINGS!"
-Longwell and Favre were pals yes, but Favre is competitive, does he want someone in a key position to be his buddy, or be someone who can actually kick a clutch field goal, which Longwell DID NOT do in 2005. Having Doug Pederson on the team was fine, he was a backup, the KICKER is a valuable position and needs to be filled with MORE than a friend, a GOOD KICKER who doesn't whine and cry and blame everyone but himself, which im sure Favre just LOVED, btw. :roll:
"TT is ruining things with Javon! Favre needs recievers!"
-Javon is a ******, but there is no reason to believe he won't be on the team. His teammates responses hint he could easilly be back, and could be blowing smoke. Also, if you didn't know, Javon is in NO position to be making threats.
-As far as other recievers, Free Agency is more than 1 week, I have tried to explain this multiple times. The brick wall understood it, why can't you?
"TT hasn't done anything to build a good defense! We need to stop the other team from scoring!"
-He signed a safety that HE drafted, and coach Sanders has COACHED before. I think they know what he can do. He is also in negotiations with Ryan Pickett. This is where I am at the disadvantage in this argument, because Free agency isn't done yet.
"TT is letting Henderson GO?!"
-That hasn't even played out yet. Free Agency is more than 1 week, I have tried to explain this multiple times. The brick wall understood it, why can't you?
and my personal favorite....
"TT isn't doing ANYTHING in Free Agency, What is he doing to help Brett decide to come back?!"
-Free Agency is more than 1 week, I have tried to explain this multiple times. The brick wall understood it, why can't you?

I am at the disadvantage in this argument, but i'll humor the conspiracy nuts anyway.
