It was time for the transition. Brett was not what he was in the past and keeping Arod on the bench puts him back from getting the first year behind him.

It holds the team hostage from moving forward with the new guy at the helm. How could ARod sitting out '08 possibly help the Packers in '10, '11 and beyond that? It couldn't.

From what I saw last year when his body started failing in the last six games is EXACTLY why you could not put your future on hold. It's not he wasnt' good enough but that when hurt he couldn't do it anymore.

Brett Favre playing well with injury or hoping he doesn't get hurt at this stage is foolhardy and that proved itself so last year.

So if you go by your thinking we should send Driver packing and get Jones and Nelson in the game. Or get rid of Al and Woody to let the younger guys in because its hurting us for 2011 season.

Thats how i took your explanation if its wrong ill retract my statement.
Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

NO! I do not want Favre to be a Viking.
It would be a beyond a travesty, t'would be a farce beyond comprehension.

I do not like Favre, never have, never will. But that is just a personal issue.
I have never bought into his "good ole boy persona".

Beyond that, I truly believe that Favre to the Vikings would be a huge mistake. But then we already have "Chili", so what is one more.

Dhaze just knocked $17,738,607.00 off the 2009 payroll!

Nice job, Dave. No wonder you want to run the show. I never realized how frugal you were.

Seriously, is anyone aware that Rodgers could be a very good QB for the Packers with a very good career and still not achieve Brett's success?

Likewise, is anyone aware that Rodgers could easily not have the same level of output Favre had and still win more Super Bowls, simply by not throwing interceptions in the playoffs ?

Sometimes I wonder if Favre HAD to throw so many touchdowns just to make up for all his mistakes. ;)

The importance of protecing the football is best exemplified by Green Bay Hall of Fame quarterback Bart Starr for our money, the greatest QB of all time and New England's future Hall of Famer, Tom Brady.

They are the most successful playoff quarterbacks in history, based upon winning percentage: Starr went 9-1 (.900) in his postseason career; Brady has gone 14-3 (.824).

Starr and Brady also top the all-time leaderboard in one other key postseason category: they're the least-intercepted passers in playoff history.

Starr was picked off just three times in 213 attempts (1.41 percent).

Brady has been picked off just 12 times in 595 attempts (2.02 percent).

Other quarterbacks have thrown more touchdowns in the playoffs than Starr and Brady. But nobody threw fewer interceptions, and nobody was more successful.

You shouldn't hold his Navy service against him. He was just scared to go in the Marines. That is understandable. The Marines are notoriously homophobic...it was a safety iseue for Vikesrule.
