[QUOTE="Greg C., post: 232544, member: 195"] There have been hot-heads on both sides and reasonable people on both sides. The A-Rod injury issue is legit, although it doesn't worry me too much personally. It's a matter of opinion. He broke his ankle against the Pats, but he was fine in the game against Dallas and pulled a hammy a couple days later in practice. He probably would've missed one game, at most, if he was really needed. Your statement that Favre is wanted back by both teammates and fans is meaningless. A lot of fans want him back, but many don't want him back. We can only guess at the percentages. The same goes for the players. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if more players want Rodgers than Favre. But again, we're just guessing here. And cohesive arguments are not based on pure speculation. Here's my argument for not taking Favre back: 1. It would mean that Packer management failed to live up to their word when they told Aaron Rodgers that this was his team. This would hurt the players' trust in the management, not just for Rodgers but everyone. After all of Rodgers' hard work in the off-season, doing all the right things, the old vet comes waltzing in from the old homestead in Mississippi to take back his position. 2. Rodgers would probably not sign another contract with the Packers if Favre came back. Not if he has any self-respect, anyway. That would mean we got nothing out of our QB of the future, after spending a first-round draft pick on him, paying him good money, and helping him develop his skills to the point where he could potentially be very good. 3. I think the team's chances of going all the way are only marginally better, if at all, with Favre than they would be with Rodgers. In recent years, Favre has gotten worn out at the end of each season and his performance has declined. By the time the season is over, he has been reduced to a haggard, weeping shell of his former self. I don't think this inspires a lot of confidence in his teammates. But it quite possibly inspires confidence in his opponents. [/QUOTE]
