[QUOTE="texaspackerbacker, post: 495924, member: 25"] Your facts are little off. There was no "re-sign Rodgers or lose him". His rookie deal was for 5 years, running through 2009. He wasn't extended until after his first year starting, a year after Favre was gone. You said, "I hate the idea that the greatest player in the history of the NFL got alienated by the team I love..." OK, lets stop right there. First, your mis-remembering the "re-sign Rodgers" thing is evidence of your Favre denial...there was no make-or-break necessity with respect to the long term future with Rodgers at the time of Favre's departure. You cannot use that excuse. That's "Favre denial" at work. It was just time to move on to a disciplined, less angst-ridden and tear-wracked approach to football where the QB actually shows up for work. Second, he wasn't the greatest player in the history of the NFL. I'm beginning to think somebody is pulling our leg here. We sometimes joke that Favre is "the one whose name shall not be spoken", a somewhat complex and ironical designation since that could refer to either a deity or to Satan. In your case, I guess it's the former; I noted that you scrupulously avoiding using his name in your first post! Unless you're pulling my leg, I can only express my condolences for the painful loss of having gone through 2010 without the full enjoyment of it.[/quote] Like I said, my memory is a little hazy on this - I was out of the loop and really didn't have any strong opinion on the Favre situation except that then, as now, keeping Aaron Rodgers was the priority. I stand by the idea that Favre is the greatest player in NFL history - taking the entire body of work. Durability and length of career indeed are factors. He holds all the important records at the most important position. That to me makes him the greatest, although I do consider Aaron Rodgers a better QB than BRETT Favre or anybody else, and if he lasts long enough, he will be the greatest. We are blessed to have had both of them, and I hate to see all this bickering about it. What did you even mean about not enjoying the 2010 season? I guess I casually walked into an emotional shitstorm here hahaha. I didn't realize how passionate some of you guys are either pro or con on Favre. [/QUOTE]
