[QUOTE="PackFanNChiTown, post: 414566, member: 1418"] Favre was indeed a hero to this team, which is why his actions in the final parts of his career stung so badly. Sherman gave Favre carte blanche when it came to personnel decisions. If Favre wanted someone, Sherman listened and took his opinion to heart. Nothing wrong with that if that is the relationship between QB and GM/HC. Then Sherman is demoted and TT comes in. As anyone who has transitioned from a lenient boss to a "toe the line" style, change is difficult, but ultimately the responsibility to make the changes positive lie with the subordinate. Thompson's message was clear: "You're the player, I'm the GM...period." Favre simply couldn't handle not having his desires taken seriously. He was pissed when TT hired McCarthy over Mooch, pissed when he drafted Rodgers instead of a player of immediate need, and as a result he pulled his "if you don't do what I want I'm going to take my ball and go home" crap every season. The final straw, according to Andrew Brandt, was when TT wouldn't sign Randy the-locker-room-cancer Moss.

THIS is Favre's legacy with the Packers, not his 16 years of play, but his one year of insanity where he tried to hold a team hostage so they would give in to his demands. I'm grateful that MM/TT/MM stood their ground and refused to cave in under Favre's demands. Favre [B][I]was[/I][/B] a hero in the beginning, in the end he became a prima donna with a Messiah complex who fell in love with the sound of his own name... [/QUOTE]
