[QUOTE="adambr2, post: 875540, member: 7277"] Well, there were plenty of times when Favre in fact did not find a way to score last. In his very last game with the Packers with a chance to take them to the Super Bowl, he had the ball and a chance to score last and instead threw a really terrible pass and sent the Giants to the Super Bowl. This Favre vs. Rodgers in the 2008 season is just a really weird hill to pick to die on. It's obvious that you've decided to dig in on this argument and no amount of evidence is going to convince you otherwise, but you have just offered nothing in good supporting arguments as to why we should have stuck with Favre in '08 and let Rodgers ride the pine for a 4th year. Aaron Rodgers was ready to start in his 4th year, there's no doubt. His performance in '08 was fine, and actually, quite good for a first year starter. His defense was very bad, there's a reason the entire system was overhauled in '08 before the '09 season. If your 1st round pick is not ready to play by his 4th year, he probably isn't your guy. Would Favre have given us a better chance to win in '08 than Rodgers? I don't know, maybe? We were a 6-10 team. Favre wasn't taking the '08 Packers to the Super Bowl. And again, Rodgers was quite good in '08 and Favre was quite mediocre with the Jets. I realize that the offensive system changes and receivers play a part in that, which is why I said "maybe". I really don't know, but even if so, it wouldn't have made a significant difference. The '08 team as a whole played much worse than '07. And the '07 team, frankly, much like '19, played a bit over their heads. Finally, again, even if Favre DID give the Packers a better chance in '08 than Rodgers, [I]you cannot look at all this stuff in a vacuum. [/I]This is not a video game. If Favre comes out of retirement and Rodgers has to sit and hold a clipboard for a 4th year, he is almost certainly asking for a trade. Even if he doesn't ask for one then, Favre played for [I]3 more seasons from '08 to '10.[/I] You think Rodgers was just going to sit and wait that out? You think that the Packers were going to go ahead and give him starter money after his rookie contract to just be Favre's backup for 6 seasons when they had never even gotten a chance to see him start? You're making an emotional argument rather than a rational one because you loved Favre when in reality there is absolutely no supporting logic whatsoever that the Packers erred in making the move to Rodgers in '08 after Favre's initial retirement.
