The hero worship here prevents the 'faithful' from seeing the obvious: it's time to move on.The foundation is being laid, but it isn't being laid for Brett Favre.The conspiracy theorist in me agrees totally that part of the reason TT is here is to make a decision no Packers fan wants to make. It's time to tell the old horse, the very horse that brought you all those miles, that it's the last roundup. Favre will never leave the Packers on his own. He'll suit up when he's 50. Bill Walsh had to show Joe Montana the door. I argue Montana is the greatest QB of all time, and that was extremely tough for them. But Walsh realized you can't build the future with the past.This season is tough, but necessary for the Packers to finally build a championship caliber team. The salary cap was choking off any chance of getting the players necessary to really be good. The Packers were going to slowly fade to where they are now, which might be even more painful, since it would take longer to rebuild. TT simply decided to pull the plug, take the heat, and move the process forward sooner.I applaud the writer (and RP) for bringing this forward.</blockquote>
