The main reason at that point was that the team needed to grow with its young QB.  When Brett flip flopped year after year about retiring it was becoming a distraction.  Brett was not sure he wanted to be there, Rodgers was there and chomping at the bit to play and Rodgers was putting in the time needed to keep getting better.  The QB is the leader of the offense as we all know, if he is not sure he wants to play anymore that sends a bad message to the rest of the team.  Rodgers had made a lot of improvements in learning the offense and getting stronger and reducing his body fat.  Rodgers wanted to be there and showing it by his actions.  At the point that Brett retired, it was obvious that if given a true QB competition Rodgers had a great chance of beating him out.  Brett would not compete when given the chance making out that he felt he earned the job (likely knowing that deep down Rodgers would keep with him step for step).  Brett retired and then later unretired, played for the Jets, then said he had nothing left and retired, then unretired and now plays for the Vikings.  He has said so much crap that I don't think he even knows when he is telling the truth.  According to Brett he is now playing b/c he had a change of heart b/c his daughter was crying and wanted him to win another Super Bowl and then Childress BY CHANCE called him around the time all this was going down.  Mr. Favre forgott to mention that while he was "retired" he was still reading the playbook that the Vikings had given him.  This whole soap opera seems planned from the get go.  I mean, he was not a part of the team, but yet they gave him a playbook to study.  I wonder if Kitna still has the Lions playbook just in case his time in Big D does not work out.  I hope Brett gets humbled this year and sets the NFL record for pics in a season.</p></blockquote><p></p>
