I will go still farther, RaiderPride. I will say, without the slightest shade of apology, that after the embarrassing performance put on by Favre down the stretch (2 TD passes against 9 INTs in 5 games!!), anyone who still bitches about the Favre trade, and definitely anyone who complains that Aaron Rodgers is our starting quarterback, is nothing more than a willful complainer at best and simply not a true Packers fan at worst.
You may have a case for bitching about the circumstances under which the trade occurred (and even they were mostly Favre's fault), but you CANNOT possibly make any sort of serious argument that the Packers would have been better with Favre under center this year.
Last year was a remarkable renaissance by a quarterback who had been a little better than mediocre for nearly a decade. This year is a much better appraisal of his true state.
It's sad to watch. I was glad when he rode off into the sunset after a valiant attempt at a Superbowl run. I was afraid he'd come back and his image would be tarnished by a poor season, and that is what happened.
And for all of you saying it's because he didn't have much time to get accustomed to his new team, remember that he would have only had a few weeks with the Packers too. He chose to sit out until training camp was already underway. He has no one but himself to blame for this debacle.
