"Packer hater"?

I hate you already.

Just figured you should know right off the bat. No use hiding it.

you brought up Arron Rodgers last pass as a college student costing him a championship, and thats why you hate him? Should we recall Favre's last pass as a Falcon? (2-4 passes were interceptions, the other two were incomplete), his last pass as a Packer? Interception in NFC championship game. His last pass as a Jet? Interception in AFC playoff game. Or his last (current) pass as a Viking? Int in NFC championship game.. AGAIN. I'll stick with A-rod.

1. Yes they should've resigned Tauscher before training camp last year. Why? Giacomini was a joke...and with Tauscher there he could've taught the younger guys technique while he recovered. And yes, Clifton is 34 and one more injury from being Jim Otto. He is ONLY being held together by the collective will of the medical staff, Aaron Rodgers and Packers Nation...and possibly chicken wire.

2. I never said Rodgers cost HIMSELF a national championship. I said Rodgers cost AUBURN the chance at playing for the Championship in '04 by throwing an INT against USC with under 2 minutes to play. Had he scored a TD USC loses and the game is Auburn Vs. OU. Of course you might be one of the mindless Thompson drones who doesn't know where Aaron came from *Cal BTW*.

3. We're better off with Rodgers? In what form of Bizarro World do YOU live in where you believe a great FANTASY QB is better than a Superbowl Winning and Hall of Fame QB? Come on man, you're the type who thinks Jeff George *Another great Fantasy QB* belongs in Canton. My point was that Thompson was a fool for trading Bret, actually for forcing him out of GB to start with. Seriously did Lombardi trade Starr? Was Marino or Elway EVER traded? I'd rather have the guy who choked in a superbowl, 2 conference title games, then the guy who can only beat DETROIT coming from behind. When the chips are down we had a prayer with Bret. With Aaron we'd have to sell our souls to the devil to beat Oakland coming from behind.

4. You hate me already? Who cares, just have your facts together before you kiss Thompson's backside in front of me. Wait, you must be a member of the local media.

Come on guys, ya don't always drink the koolaid that the front office pours. And Packer nation used to know that.

Nothin slow about 2 seasons. Thats hella fast imho. I think we are lucky to go from one great QB to another, and the fact youn can't get over your childhood hero leaving means you respect a player more than a team, and for that you are just like the man you worship. If Rodgers got traded tomorrow for Cutler because he wanted to leave GB (yeah, don't pull that "kicked out of GB" ****) then I'd still be rooting for THE GREEN AND GOLD, not the ****** Bears.

I'm not trying to get into the argument. After Brett left I wasn't to sure how things with Aaron would go but I was suprised. People always ask me if I hate or love Brett but I would say I'm neutral, I'm not Anti-Favre or Pro-Favre. If I was given the chance to shake his hand I would go for it. I don't hate him for leaving but I don't love him enough to follow him to every team he plays for.

To me, it's all about honesty. Had The Interceptor been honest about wanting to play for the Vikings instead of the Packers everyone would have disliked it, but at least he'd have been up front about it. The Packers could have then agreed to his wishes and held the Vikings up for a first rounder plus, say, Chester Taylor. It could have been good for both sides. As it is, the Vikes got what they asked for: A critical interception in the playoffs that ended their season with a loss. Again.

Frankly, the pink name cracks me up. Kudos to the mod who thought to do that.

To the "RealPackerFan" guy, thanks for the revisionist history, pal. Have fun rooting for the Vikings.

Wow. I am not sure what to say after reading all that. Some of these guys are on Favre's nuts so hard I am amazed they aren't wrinkles.

To longtimefan,

I'm going to shoot a hole through your arguments...pay attention I type quickly. Yes personally I believe Tauscher should've been resigned. Why? Because as I said he could've helped tutor the guy/s who had his spot until he came back. Then MAYBE they wouldn't have given up 41 sacks in 9 games.

You say Brett had chances to win the superbowl after 97...you're right...but what weapons did he have? The guy proved he can complete a pass to himself, but does that mean he should have to? NO it doesn't. The previous GMs didn't do much to help him.

You point to Rodgers coming from behind in the first game of '09...WOW...he came from behind ONCE against someone OTHER than Detroit! VERY impressive!

The pro-bowl??????? OMG Jeff George was in the pro-bowl. Does that mean he was a great QB?

I don't hate Rodgers for replacing Favre. I hate THOMPSON for deciding Brett was done before Brett decided it. The first year, Brett with less talent won 2 more games than Aaron did. I hate Aaron for being a choke artist...continually!

You and people who think Aaron is better than Brett need to stop reading the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel for your news. Try ESPNews...or USA Today...hell the wallstreet journal would be better than the butt-kissing local media! You guys are ONLY on Aarons shirt-tails because the reporters and Teddy tell you to be. There used to be a time when Packer Nation was with a guy because he was GOOD...now the guys who claim to be Packers fans *For the most part* are only with a guy because a journalist tells them to. Use your own head, not someone else's fingers to form your opinions.

2 seasons? How about 5? You forget the years he was on the bench!

The other way to look at it...Brett's 6th year in the league was his superbowl year. If memory serves...this is Aaron's 6th coming up. Let's see if y'all's boy matches up! Let's see if he can put his skills where you guys' mouths are.

Ben Roethlisberger won his first SB in his second year. He has won two in 6 years. Favre has won only one in 19 seasons. CLEARLY, he's much better than Favre.

No, but Favre didn't have the teams that Ben did, right???

It must be sad, trying to convince the whole world of something so ludicrous as that...

But then again, there's a bunch of people over at Official Website of Brett Favre - Minnesota Vikings Quarterback that have the same mentality as you do...

Too bad they were purple now...

Man, I love the revisionist history. I also love how people think Favre has no culpability in his no longer being a Packer. You do realize that if he said he wanted to be a Packer reasonably early on, he would have remained a Packer, yeah?

Look at what his indecisiveness has done to Minny. They had a shot at getting a QB who would play for at least the next 5 years or so in McNabb, but didn't because Brett hasn't said whether he's coming back this season or not. As it is now, they still have question marks at the most important position in the game. They have to hope Brett comes back, which also isn't set in stone.

Here's the other thing to look at- Aaron Rodgers. If we still had Favre, we would have had to trade Rodgers. Then we'd be in the same situation Minnesota is in with regards to the QB position.

Besides, Brett isn't bigger than the team. I'm glad Thompson stuck to his guns and refused to be held hostage.

My point about the "year 6" comment is this. If Aaron is as good as you guys think he is (you all seem to think he's better than Brett) he needs to at least do the SAME thing Brett did this year. Otherwise myself, and those who think like me were right.

If Aaron wins the superbowl THIS YEAR I'll come right on this board and admit to you guys, Ted Thompson and the WORLD that I was wrong. HOWEVER, if Aaron gets hurt, and Flynn wins it, or if the Packers do less than win it with Aaron, you guys who claim to be what I truly AM...a diehard bleeding green and gold Packer fan should be willing AND able to do the same.

Does he play with the same players???? Against the same opponents???

Is it the same environment? Then how can you say that?

Any self-respecting scientist knows that you can only confirm an hypothesis if it's conducted in an environment-free confition...

I'm sorry, but you're trying to force something that cannot fit...

It's a 6th year quarterback on a packer team against a 6th year quarterback on a packer team. The hypothesis fits.

Let me ask you this- If Rodgers fails to win the Super Bowl this season but goes on to bring us 3 Super Bowls down the line, will you still not consider him as good as Brett?

I won't be around for it to be honest. If he won ONE I'd probably die of a double heart-attack stroke combination. The kid is a CHOKE artist.

Oh, I see. You're one of those types- A completely ignorant fan boy still jilted because the Packers moved on without your hero. Truth is you have no way of knowing what Rodgers career will be like over the course of the next 5-10 years.

Funny, you labeling him as a choke artist after one bad play in one of what will probably be hundreds of games. Meanwhile, your savior Brett Favre threw a pick in overtime that led to us losing the NFC Championship game. Fast forward 2 years and he throws another pick in the NFC Championship game, leading that team to a loss. How about the numerous other bad plays throughout his career resulting in playoff losses?

Oh, and your "6 year comparison" is bunk. It's in no way an accurate comparison. Brett was a starter half way through his first season with us while Aaron is going into his 3rd year as a starter after serving 3 years as a backup. Sure, you're going to say Aaron had it easier and should be further along (He did and he is) because he was able to learn behind Brett, but I'll counter that by correctly pointing out that there's no substitute for real game conditions. You can only learn so much from the bench. The rest you have to get by, you know, participating.

He didn't just come from behind in the Chicago game to win, he also came from being what, 3 TD's down in the playoff game at Arizona to tie the game?

Nah, not a win, but still a pretty good come from behind story (That's what she said... /rimshot).

Not to mention that, while Rodgers shouldered the blame for the 2008 campaign, he doesn't play defense. Most of those games were lost by the other team making HUGE plays on offense, not because he couldn't get it done. Sucks, but it is what it is.

To SpartaChris and longtimefan,

You guys forgot the Tampa game last year? Where Aaron's interception locked up the game for Tampa's first WIN? You forgot that we lost to the Cardinals BECAUSE of Aaron. Fact is...STATS wise (And you ONLY win fantasy games with stats) he is better than Favre. In EVERY other area he has failed head to head. He failed in the Dallas game after Favre went out, and they changed the offense BACK to what McCarthy should've gone with at the start of the game. Face it, with Favre we were always in it at the end. With Rodgers it's hopeless. He's failed in more big games, and ALSO against shoddier teams than Favre.

The fact is...since 1981 I've wanted what is best for this team...Aaron Rodgers isn't it! I'm not even sure he's the best of what we've got!
