With the lack of quality QBs out there I have a feeling other teams will be making some calls to his agent when his contract comes up.
If we don't sign him it will be a huge mistake.

Why not do that and prep that guy to be the next quarter back of GB instead of holding Aaron.
Favre can play for another two seasons and sure during that time it will be easier for Favre himself to build a good quarter back to replace him. It is too early to say anything but rest of the regular season games it is better for Favre just to start the games and play only in the first quarter and give the ball to Aaron and rest well. It will keep Favre's record but will give him enough rest for the playoffs.
Favre needs to be more sensible here.. he don't want to go out there and get injured. That will screw up the whole season. This is a great season, Favre and everyone should understand, this foundation of this team is on defense and offense should not lose games. The rest of the season Favre and the offense should play more with their brains that's the key.
prepare for playoffs.

Yeah, i was thinking it was either this season or next at the latest.
But, even if it is next season, do we keep him?
He's still under contract for two more seasons after this one. They sure as hell aren't going to trade him since he's cheap, a great backup, still extremely young at only 24, and has huge upside in our offense. Plus, we all know Favre may retire at any time.
I think TT will do everything he can to keep him here to take over once Favre retires. Its a perfect situation for both parties involved. I'd wager a large sum of money AR is the next starting QB once Favre is done. Its extremely hard to find young QBs that can play, and we have one on our roster.

Its a much different situation for us. Atlanta thought they had they're superstar QB in Vick, so why not trade his backup for high picks? It didn't work out obviously with Vick getting in trouble, but the logic was the same as it was for us when we traded Brunell and Hassellbeck. We had our young superstar and were cashing in for developing good, young QBs. We don't have a young superstar at the position anymore so we aren't going to trade our potentially very good young backup.
Schaub also signed for only 3 years and was in his last year. Rodgers signed a 5 year deal, and, as mentioned, has two years left. If we trade Rogers in his final year, we'd be doing so when Favre is 40.
Bozz, you don't trade away a young QB with two more years left on his deal when your starting QB is 38. Its not about Favre getting hurt. Its about when Favre isn't here anymore.
