[QUOTE="AKCheese, post: 548987, member: 9828"] Well you guys misremember a little history. As I recall Favre let it be known that he wanted to play football long before training camp started, Green Bay went through all sorts of hoops to keep him away and the commissioner finally intervened. Green Bay could have traded him at that point, but they tried to pay him to stay retired......stupid classless move. They also tried to accuse Minnesota of tampering, the league investigated and found that charge baseless......also a stupid classless move. I may be inaccurate here but I don't think Rodgers won a Super Bowl the next year..... Missed the playoffs, lost to the Cardinals the following year, won the Super Bowl the following year as a wild card team, flushed out in the playoffs each year since. Do I think Favre did everything the way I wish he would have? No, Farvre is an athlete who mismanaged his departure, he's a jock, a guy who throws a football..... Public relations and management are not his profession. Packer MANAGEMENT did a horrible job MANAGING the situation. That is their job. Aaron Rodgers played pretty poorly his first year and decently his second, the league was not beating a path to snag this guy away IF Green Bay had gone with Favre. Green Bay could have let Favre compete for his job ( he would have won it) and Rodgers would have waited, nobody was going to sign him away for the Packers if Green Bay wanted to keep him. If TT and MM were so sure Rodgers was their guy, they could have traded Favre for a lot more value than they got. Green Bay just looked stupid because they didn't want Favre, but they were clearly afraid to play against him.

Green Bay caught a lot of breaks the year they won the Super Bowl with Rodgers, the same can be said for a lot of Super Bowl champions, but if they did not have that feather in their cap the stench of this debacle would be lingering a lot stronger.
