[QUOTE="HoustonBronco~, post: 232088, member: 931"] In January of 99, I watched my Broncos win their second straight super bowl. Bubby Brister, who was old, but played well that season, was to be Elway's replacement. But management decided they needed to move on with their young quarterback, Brian Griese. And a team that had gone 13-3, 12-4, and 14-2 in the past three seasons suddenly fell to 6-10. From that experience, I can tell you that you should never start a worse player because of his potential. You don't play the games to plan for the future - you play to win. How many young teams that are supposedly "the next big thing" never take that next step? The window of opportunity in the NFL is extremely short, and if you have a legitimate shot at a super bowl, you take it. Without Favre, I have yet to see any analyst predict Green Bay having a .500 record, let alone winning their division. With Favre, the Packers are a legitimate super bowl contender. So, are you really going to pass up a chance to win it all so that your career backup gets to see some playing time? Management owes it to the veterans to field the best players rather than try to appease Aaron Rogers. Anyways, that's my advice, and I hope it goes well. Oh, and like I said last year - Cutler's the next Favre, so if you like that playstyle, start cheering for my Broncos, too. =) [/QUOTE]
