[QUOTE="all about da packers, post: 142804, member: 227"] Wils0646, I think you have missed big time on your assumption that all anti-TT individuals think Favre is bigger than the team. It is unfair of you to even say they think Favre is above the team, because I have yet to meet ANY packer fan who believes, or has ever said: Favre is above the team. IMO, it is more appropriate to say that the anti-TT people think the best shot the Packers will have at the Superbowl is with Favre behind C. History shows it is hard to argue with them: Marino left the Dolphins, and the Dolphins struggled to find a QB to replace him. Elway left the Broncos, and the Broncos haven't had a good QB yet to replace Elway. Both these teams have won ZERO combined Superbowls. We have grown up in an era where we have very recently seen the Bears, Bengals, and Chargers become rebuilding successes. People think it isn't an impossible task to rebuild (not saying it isn't damn hard though), so people trust TT to be able to rebuild the Packers. [u]Essentially, they are hoping that when TT is done rebuilding, we will have a team that will be able to compete for at least 4-5 years at least, instead of competing 2 or so years with Favre and then having to possibly start from scratch if A-Rod is a bust.[/u] I can sympathize with where people like Lare, Pyle, and even 66 are coming from. Like scharles said, I grew up watching Favre, he's the only QB I have seen start for the Green n Gold. I've shared his joy, his sorrow, and his tears as a fan. After the Bears game last season, when he was shedding tears, I was shedding tears right alongside with him yearning for the chance to see Brett go out on top, play and win one final Lombardi. He is, and will probably remain, my all time favourite player. A part of me is pissed that TT didn't go for one last run with Brett at the helm. I find comfort in being optimistic that TT will build a team that can compete for a longer time than a team which could have done the same with Brett. Anti-TT people aren't as optimistic. Thus, you could argue that they are foolish. However, the Anti-TT crowd could just as easily argue that the pro-TT crowd are being optimistic to the point of foolishness, when history is against the Packers having success within a 5-7 year period (and likely longer) of Brett retiring... It is what it is, we all have our reasons for thinking the way we do. In the end though, I don't think the anti-TT will mind if TT does end up building a solid SB winning team. [/QUOTE]
