[QUOTE="Pack93z, post: 231096, member: 288"] Wait so Arod can be larger than the Packers, because he would now have to compete for his starters spot? Make no mistake, I am not for Favre comming back and being handed the job, but I really don't think that any one player should be that stuck on the idea that they don't have to earn the right to start. That is like CT in the Vikings last year, he handled it the right way, put his nose to the ground and played hard, had a good year and put the Vikes in a very good position with a 1 2 punch at RB. Now I agree, QB is a different because you don't split reps during the game, but the principle is the same in a sense. You don't have a right to the starts spot because it was handed to you by default or because you have practice for it for three years. You earn it on the field of play, not by a flip flop decision in the offseason. Which by the way isn't the best of situations, but by all accounts it appears it is a situation that needs to be dealt with, like it or not. The best thing, with the cards as they are, is for the Packers to have Rodgers and Favre compete for the starting spot, if either balks at being a backup.. you work a trade in the preseason after the starter has earned the right to start, and you move forward. It happens all the time in the sport, why should this be any different. Ego's don't make a football team, performance and talent do.. I personally would have no issue with the Packers dealing Favre if he lost outright to Rodgers in camp. Or vice versa, if either can't be man enough to accept a backup role for the good of the team, then you cut the line and move on. [/QUOTE]
