[QUOTE="net, post: 10692, member: 200"] I would be stunned if Brett played past this year, win or lose. It is very difficult for many Packers fans to see this man retiring. It was the same way for me in 1969 watching Bart Starr's final years. How could he quit? But as the team around him deteriorated, his success did the same. Quite frankly, I HOPE Brett retires after this year. This is the last, best hope the Packers have for a playoff level team in a couple of years. Here's why: Please keep in mind that Brett's skills are not what they once were. This is not Brett 1995. He's still among the top 10 in the league, but is he better than Payton Manning? Tom Brady? Culpeeper is about equal. Bottom line is he is nearing retirement. The FA culling and the draft this year(along with legit reports) indicate to me TT is already in the rebuilding mode. The defense was prime for new blood after last year, next year it will be the offense. There's no way the Packers can afford A. Green, Bubba, Flanagan, Davenport, probably Walker, Grady J. and a couple of others. So next year many new bodies might be around. Let me ask this: if you are Brett, are you going to hang around 2-3 more years before the team comes back to the top? I think Sherman is going to move on. Regardless of what you think of the coaches, they have featured Brett's abilities. A new coach might not, especially if it's Jim Bates. While he might keep some of the same staff(like Larry B.) if Sherman goes, Rossley goes, and a new OC is needed. He would promote Sanders or Nunn to DC, but this change again would tend to make me think Brett doesn't want to hang around a 6-10 team. The Packers are going to give Aaron Rodgers this year to watch. They will expect him to take a larger role next year, like Carson Palmer in Cincy. Do you let a #1 pick sit on the pines just to try to relive old times? The last thing I want to have happen is what Brett did to Don Majkowski, ala, the rookie come in and upstage and embarrass the veteran. I think it's time for Packers fans to do what I did 36 years ago...and realize the current "good times" are almost done. That includes the good times with Brett. I hope he has a great year...says good-bye--hops on the lawn tractor and rides into the sunset. [/QUOTE]
