No, you build a superbowl team around a 40 year old that maybe would have given us more of a chance to go to the superbowl this year. You never "not" take that chance. :)

Kind of hard to just welcome him back with open arms after that and yet the Packers tried, but as BRETT said HIMSELF, there were things HE should have just looked past, but COULDN'T, thus he left no other option other than being traded.

That's not saying I think we have a better chance at winning with any other QB. I said from the start, Brett gave us the best chance to win, period. But let's be real about this and look at the whole picture, not just what we are tied to emotionally.

I understand what you are saying Zero.. 🙂 I hear you when you say Favre retired and the Packers moved on, yes thats what they had to do at that time, but when Favre wanted to come back, wouldnt you have still sat him down and said that they were disappointed in how he handled this situation that he retired to early, but then took him back because it gave us more of a shot this year at winning a superbowl. Just a question. Superbowls dont come around to often and if your given a chance dont you take it then and now?

By no stretch am I saying that anyone is innocent or handled the Brett retirement / come back saga efficiently. From what I understand you don't mix personal stuff with professional stuff and that is what I think happened her by ALL parties involved.

The thing about the Super Bowl, people think because we were one over time away that it was a given we'd be in the following year. Thats far from the truth, look at history to give indication.

With that said, I feel that Brett burnt some bridges with his 'i dont trust Ted' comments on national TV and you can NOT have your LEADER of your team NOT having confidence in the man primarily responsible for assembling your team.

Players are human, NOT machines. The human element of leadership escapes many when discussing 'why not jus bring Brett back?'. When the undeniable leader of your team has no faith in the organizations GM... it really throws a wrench into things.


James Campen told Brett "back them into a corner, they will take you back". Brett was told that, according to his own words. So why not back them into a corner? Come back? What did he do? He instead threw the GM under the bus like a child who wants a toy, but wants others to offer it to him without asking for it.

Again, I think personal stuff was mixed with professional stuff and that is why we don't have our favorite QB playing for OUR team this year. And that I have to put more fault on the Packers for because they are to be held more accountable for such things.

Again your right, there was NO guarantee we would have won a super bowl this year, but as far as we came last year wouldnt you have given it another shot?

Both parties were wrong on how this situation was handled, I totally agree. But we have to move on because both did. I hope both teams do well. 🙂

I don't much care how the Jets do, but I do want Brett to do some kickass awesome things like scorching another defense for a half dozen touchies!!

I'm really disappointed in GB Packer fans. Ya lets build a team around a 40 year old QB. That's REAL smart.

40? Last time I checked he was 38. But maybe my math is bad. Here:

Brett Favre, born October 10, 1969.

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Probably a homer access credential intimidation kinda thing
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Meathead "journalists" skip this, concentrating on operational revenue when convenient. They switch when net revenue is more favorable.
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Resulting in an actual drop of net revenue of 12.5%. She is from Minnesota. Just sayin'
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Any plans to hold Maureen Smith (CFO) accountable for a 95% drop in investment revenue?
Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : In your face, HBO!

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Possibly hit his head leaning into the glass protecting the food in the cafateria
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Maybe a low flying drone
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Did Savion Williams run into a goalpost or something?
Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : also, no bueno when a guy starts getting concussions right off the bat in his career
Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Concussion is worse. Banks probably vet off day via back booboo claim
Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : @AndyHermanNFL Jordy Nelson out at camp today. No word if he’s in play for one of the two open roster spots ; )
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Is that better or worse than Banks bad back?
Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Savion concussion ... not good.
packerfanoutwest (24-Jul) : Aaron Rodgers’s first pass of first team period was picked off
Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : tbh I didn't hear of his passing
Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Cosby Show. Malcom Jamal Warner I think is real name
Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : I was thinking of Ozzy and Hulk
Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : Who's Theo?
Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : How is Theo alliteration?
Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : Bad week for people whose names are alliterations
Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Hulk Hogan gone too.
Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Oh, it's toe injury
Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Hope it's not serious. that would stink
dfosterf (24-Jul) : Sounds like an ankle not a knee for Fields
dfosterf (24-Jul) : Ya Flaccp on Browns
Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Maybe Tyrod Taylor instead

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : No sir. I did not.
dfosterf (23-Jul) : You didn't get free childcare when you were at work?
wpr (23-Jul) : These guys make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. Pay for their own childcare.
dfosterf (23-Jul) : 2nd issue. Number 1 issue was no gameday childcare. 1 of 3 teams not providing it
Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Suppose if locker room is main issue, we sitting pretty
wpr (23-Jul) : I thought so Mucky. In those useless player polls GB always rates high overall. Locker is a part of it.

wpr (23-Jul) : The site is much more better.
