You know, I used to pride myself in being a Packer fan. Packer fans are a breed of thier own. Lately however, some of the members on this board have started questioning #4 and it almost makes me want to throw my Packers jersey in the trashcan. Hell if I wanted to turn my back on my team or HOF QB as soon as they did something I did not understand, I could root for any of the other 31 teams out there.
First off Brett owes us impatient, monday morning QB's nothing. As much as we would like to think that we are part of the game I am not going to question a player,with his passion, who has to decide between the game that he has dedicated every fiber in his body to for over 2 decades and something that is 1000x times more important, his family.
You just don't speculate on another mans future. Like it or not his decision his tougher than the average joe's. I won't put down any working man or woman, but deciding if you should hang up your hardhat from the local cheese packaging place is a little easier than deciding to hang up your helmet from the NFL. The difference is I doubt you or I have the same dedication and passion about packing cheese that Brett has about playing football.
I also see where people say Brett is putting himself in front of the team or is being selfish by not making a decision or how he is going to cost us this season. You know what he has earned it!
He honestly has paid his dues to this organization and us as fans. He played on teams that could have been better. He sat back quietly and patiently while we did not make the right moves with the coaching staff and player personel.
I am not blaming anyone.Not Ron Wolf,Mike Sherman,Mike Holmgren,Slowick,Rhodes,TT or anyone. I believe that each year the organization felt they had assembled a good football team. Unfortunately, only one team can win the prize so more times than not you are going to fall short of your goal. If you won them all there would be no sense in even playing the games.
I am sure Brett did not agree with every move the brass made but he played his heart out year in and year out in the smallest NFL franchise town there is, where its cold as hell. He slung balls in the snow, took hits,threw blocks every year while this organization tried to figure it out.
He didn't pull a Randy Moss and head for LA. He didn't pull a Javon Waker and try to get a new contract. He didn't pull a T.O. and cause a huge distraction. All he did was play the highest competitive football he could. Thats what seperates Favre from Moss and Owens and the reason we love him.
Now it's time for us ******* fans and the organization to pay the the man the same respect he payed them, and us for years.
