[QUOTE="Lare, post: 63317, member: 114"] OK guys, I'll bite. First of all, IMO learning a complete new offense is a not a piece of cake regardless of who you are or how long you've been in a similar scheme. Absolutely everything is different from the reads, the blocking schemes, the routes, the terminology, the play calls, etc. But you don't have to take my word for it, take Brett's. He's the one that said learning a new offense was one of the deciding factors in whether or not he retires. As to free agency, to say that money is the ONLY deciding factor in where a free agent signs seems a little naive to me. Sure it may be near the top, but these guys also have to have a life and many of them have wives and children. I'm sure every pro football player will tell you that factors such as culture, weather, environment, tradition, winning team, schemes, proven coach and other players on the roster all play a role in their decision on where to sign. I also think it's a little naive to think TT and MM have free rein in how they handle this situation and speak publicly about it. Brett Favre is by far the most popular player of the Packers and maybe even the NFL over the last several years. For either of them to draw a line in the sand and demand an answer from Brett that prematurely forced him into retirement would bring on vilification by Packer fans worldwide and probably cost them their jobs. Also, so far there have been 15 QBs signed during free agency. I'd love to see the list of all the viable QB options that are still available should Favre retire and Rodgers not pan out. JMHO.
