And I think TT should worry more about signing some big name free agent receivers..(TO...ring a bell TT?)..so he can try to make the decision easier for Favre to come back...
and c'mon TT-romadz...do you actually think the Packers are going to be competitive next year without Favre? YOu've got another thing coming......
Oh..I'll still be a Packer fan..and route for the Pack....but I still think they'll suck this year and the next....signing Favre is their only shot at WINNING NOW!
Did you....did you just say GB should get T.O? Are you kidding me? I have trouble reading sarcasm on the internet sometimes, and I think thats whats going on here. Nobody could be that stupid to say that.
Do I think the packers could be competitive next year without favre? POssibly. It only takes 4 things:
1. The defense needs to come back and be as good as they were. Since its the same scheme and sanders is a familiar coach, thats easy.
2. Fix the offensive line. With money to spend, and good draft position, we should be able to do that easilly.
3. Stay healthy. Having a team full of pro bowlers means nothing when theyre all hurt.
4. Get a solid replacement. If Rodgers is the QB next year, I agree...we will not be very competitive. If we get Brees(a healthy brees) or Kitna, then yes, we can be very competitive in the NFC North(NFC Crap).
The problem is, we dont know if we need to go after Brees or Kitna cuz of favres indecision. If he waits,waits,waits, and then ends up retiring, he will almost personally single handedly sabatoged the 06\07 season. Cuz what that will do is mean, we'll have a solid team, but Rodgers at QB, and thats a death wish.
IF Favre were to retire now, we could get a quality FA pickup, or draft a solid QB in the draft as insurance. But favres indecision is hurting the managements choice-making procedures, cuz they dont know who the QB is right now. Its ridiculous
And you say GB should get some quality parts to surround favre(wr,oline,etc) and I agree. The problem is, if we get some solid guards, and a good WR, and favre THEN decides to come back, guess what..we will probably have a nice chunk of change left in the budget, money we could have used earlier in free agency to get favre MORE quality teammates. Favre is not only hurting the packers, hes hurting himself if he does come back.
Of course this is only if he keeps waiting. If he comes out tomorrow and says hes retiring\staying, then this is all for nothing, and he wouldnt have been holding the organization hostage.
But when Day 1 of free agency begins, he will be hurting the pack more and more as each hour passes...and thats a damn shame, that a great man such as favre would do that to a team he says he loves, and a team that has given him free reign all these years to be the QB he wants to be.
