couldnt agree more.....I'll be there standin beside you...why does aaron deserve a turn? just because he was drafted is hardly a reason. Fact is aaron is unproven. If brett goes to another team and the pack got back to a 4-12 team I wanna hear what the a-rod pushers have to say...so what thoushands of QB's have been drafted and sat the bench to me aaron is no different, until one brett cant play anymore or doesnt want to...IF he decides to come back the Packers organization better welcome him back with open arms. He is by far the best man for the job. In the entire league that is. He knows the system and proved last season that he still has the skills. If the Packers front office didnt welcome him back they would have a riot on their hands by the fans. I would be right in it too.
Even that wouldn't keep him out of the game. He would just shake it off and continue to play.I can see it now.
Favre comes back and starts for GB.
First play of the year.
Favre drops back, gets hit so hard that his torso separates. Done.

So you wouldnt welcome him back if he decided he wanted to play again? Thats crazy. I got nothing against Rodgers and I think he would do a decent job, but if I had to choose between the two it would obviously be Brett. We have a better chance at getting to the SB with him then with Rodgers and what elese matters but the Lombardi. If he dosent come back, and I dont think he will, thats all good to me, but I would not turn him away if I were the Packers GM.joe_smoe said:couldnt agree more.....I'll be there standin beside you...why does aaron deserve a turn? just because he was drafted is hardly a reason.

Because the guy in front of him officially retired.
They might bring up that the 4-12 team you speak of was led by Brett Favre.

Hey,
we could trade him and get someone.
On the other hand...if he comes back isn't he our best QB? Don't we always want our best players playing?
Imagine you've been married for 16 years. Your wife takes great care of you and the kids, and she's still the best looking woman you know.
One day you have a fight and she storms out. A little while later she comes back and admits she was wrong.
And you tell her, "Sorry, babe. I'm kicking you to the curb for a girl I just met on the internet. I just know I'll be better off with her."
Yeah. Right.
Suit up, Brett. What took you so long?
It appears that there are a few Favre fans who decided to join the forum only to support Favres comeback. Let's see how long they stick around if the rumors are just that. Rumors.

For the good of the team:
Long term - Aaron Rodgers.
Short term - Brett Favre.
The question is simple: Which one gives us the best change to bring home another Lombardi Trophy this year?
If Brett comes back, I'll feel a little sorry for Rodgers, but I wouldn't let my sympathy for him guide the direction of the team or change its ultimate goal.
DGB454, I hope you weren't referring to me with your first post. As to your second, maybe my metaphor wasn't the best I could have come up with. But I think my point is valid - what makes everyone so sure the grass is going to be greener over there?
I Brett wants back in, I'll welcome him - as would any of you. But... I'd want there to be an open competition at QB. If Brett is better than Rodgers in the system that MM wants to run, then so be it. If not, Brett can stick around and be that veteran backup we all wanted a few weeks ago.

Not even close on the comparison. Fav-re and the Packers didn't have some big fight whether either side was wrong. He retired after a long career.
How much do you think Rodgers is starting to despise Fav-re by now? Not only did he get drafted into one of only three of four teams in which he had no chance at competing for a starting spot, but now after three years of sitting on the bench he finally gets his shot, only to be completely undermined by a little as a stupid internet rumor.
I almost feel bad for Rodgers. I actually think he will be a decent QB. But I think his time in Green Bay will be short. No matter what he does, there is no way he will be able to escape this smothering shadow that a lot of Green Bay fans cast over him.
Of course, as a Vikings fan, I love it every time a new rumor throws gas on the fire. I can just imaging the boo birds who will come out on September 8th when Rodgers throws his first INT of 2008. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if the crowd boos him when he is announced.

And FWIW... I would never want to see Brett playing for another team, regardless of what we might get in trade.

how is it better for us in the short term, if it almost certainly dooms us for the long term. and i know Brett Favre is the better QB. but he is 38 and doesn't wanna put the effort into and dedication into the weekly stuff. Not to mention he clearly didn't wanna be on that field in the NFC championship game. If the QB doesn't wanna be on the field in the NFC championship game, I dont see how that gets us closer to the Super Bowl.
prolonging the madness only makes this worse. Lets let him go and just remember him for the greatness.
