People seem to just not realize that we Packers fans wanted him back last year; and the team also wanted to hear from him before committing to Aaron Rodgers. If Brett said "Ok, I'm in" in March 2008, there would have been no problem. It's not like TT or MM suddenly shut the door upon him. That's why fans are so pissed off about him playing for a division rival, because he could have handled things in a more respectful way and everyone would be fine. By trying to jump into training camp last year, he was clearly putting himself over the team and that's unacceptable, be him the best ever or an unknown rookie.
If the Packers just refused to take him back on March 2008, then he could even be playing for the Bears and everyone should respect his decision.
In the end, I think Brett just made us cheeseheads dream for years playing football like a fan of the game; it was never like he was giving a passing game clinic, he was always having fun and making big plays and big dumb choices. More TDs than anyone, more INTs than anyone. But we all felt that emotion every time he pumped his arm, not knowing what to expect. He was by no means similar to the "surgical accuracy" of Micheal Jordan, his playing was all heart and little head. He made us dream and we forgave his big on field mistakes, because that's Favre, take or leave. From that kind of person, I was expecting a little bit more attachment to the green and gold. That's why I (and I guess many other fans) am so pissed off about it.
