[QUOTE="Greg C., post: 230707, member: 195"] In an ideal world, nothing would be better for the Packers than to have Favre and Rodgers battle for the starting QB job. But it's not that simple. If Favre comes back, he's coming back to start. And he would start unless he totally stunk it up in the preseason. I'm pretty sure he would play well enough to keep the starting QB job. Rodgers played just as well as Favre did in the preseason last year, but all things being equal, you don't demote the guy who is a legend. And if Favre starts, we're right back where we were before, waiting for him to hit the wall at some point late in the season. If it was as simple as playing the guys who are "proven," it would be easy to assemble a winning sports team. But sometimes--a lot of times--you have to pass up the sure thing and roll the dice on players who have not yet had the chance to shine. That time has come, and it's here because Favre spent years wavering on whether or not to retire, admitting he was exhausted at the end of each season, he's now 38, his performance has declined toward the end of the last three seasons, and yes, he finally DID retire, and the Packers have been led by Aaron Rodgers for four months now, including the minicamps and OTA's. Enough already. If Favre really wants to play another season, it is time for the Packers to cut ties with him, or at least offer to do so. [/QUOTE]
