We won't know squat about Aaron Rodgers until probably Wednesday so lets have some fun debate. Who do you think the Packers should sign or bring up or ...

I'm actually going to do something I never thought I'd do and say Packers should sign Brett Favre. I don't think he can last a full season, and he doesn't want to get hit so it's not going to happen. However, I think it would be the PERFECT fit. He knows the offense. I'd have to think many fans who begrudged him for playing with the Vikings would soften their grudge even more if he comes in an gets the Packers three wins in four games.

And when Aaron Rodgers comes back, can you imagine a better backup than Brett Favre?

Flynn. Of course. The guy played lights-out with us before. He can do it again if need be. We have to have somebody backing up Wallace.

As for Favre, I could maybe see it on some levels. It would be one hell of a story. Bringing him back into the fold of Packers Nation would be a riot. I don't know how good he would be, but I'm sure he could still make some throws.

From a purist standpoint, who can run McCarthy's system better? Flynn or Favre? I would say Flynn. Plug him in and we could be off to the races, if he could shake off all of the funk from his FA experiences. It was just two years ago that he set all-time Packers records. I think Flynn would be the guy who would get the job done. I question whether Favre would get the job done, but it might be way more fun to watch him try.

This is a great topic.

Personally, I would love to see Favre have a successful return with the Packers, which would mean him leading us into the playoffs, and that's pure nostalgia ringing there... It would be remarkable. It is possible Rodgers has a busted clavicle. That would take a solid 8 weeks to heal, but possibly less. Maybe we get Rodgers back for the playoffs in this scenario, if we can still make it there. I do think either of Favre or Flynn could be the guide.

Having Favre in the locker room with Rodgers would be a disaster for team chemistry. Although I thought it was funny when Favre said he had Rodgers in his FF league haha.

Oh man how I wish the Vikings were competitive this year. We'd actually have a shot at winning the division now. Figures Rodgers would go down when we're having the worst season in team history.

Hey and look on the bright side, you face 3 struggling teams the next 3 games.

vs Philadelphia
at N.Y. Giants
vs Minnesota

That's not much of a list.

I put Vince Young, B.J. Coleman, and Tim Tebow ahead of any of those. I even put Graham Harrell up there after all on the list except Tolzien.

Tebow ... you have no credibility throwing his name into the ring.

Matt Flynn.

It may very well be worth an experiment. Here is a guy who is short on confidence, but was nothing less than a stellar backup during his years here.

Perhaps the right environment and a system he recognizes well will be just the tonic.

However, I don't see why they'd discount Seneca Wallace unless he's been given a full week to prove he is not ineffectual.

Zero2Cool is my captain.

To me, suggesting Favre is akin to suggesting Montana or Starr.

I just don't know if you can trust him.

If you can, I would consider it.

What better way to prove his value than coming in as the White Knight?

Brett doesn't hate the Packers. He hates that his fear of being replaced came to fruition.

Zero2Cool (13h) : Packers placed Marshawn Lloyd on reserve non-football illness list

Zero2Cool (15h) : Luke Getsy been helping Packers defense. He's former OC Bears/Raiders and our old QB coach

beast (2-Jan) : Thanks dfosterf, I'm still kicking myself for last week, as I forgot to change to pick Vikings and Lions... after putting in a holding spot.

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : First alternate: Elgton Jenkins Other alternates: Jordan Love, Kenny Clark, Keisean Nixon, Tucker Kraft, Josh Myers, Jaire Alexander

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : Pro Bowl still a thing? Guess Packers have three. Jacobs, Gary, McKinney.

dfosterf (2-Jan) : It's a mine field with all the players sitting, etc

dfosterf (2-Jan) : There was quite a bit of "chalk" matchups this year it seemed, but not this week coming up

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : Or we got better and by we I mean everyone except me

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : We have about six that by percent would have won nearly any season. I guess 2024 was predictable 🤷

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : You can check previous seasons. I quick did it and don't think anyone hit 70% before

dfosterf (2-Jan) : Hats off to the Beast

dfosterf (2-Jan) : I'm at 71.76% in pick 'em. 2nd place. Beast is at a flat 75% 9 games ahead. That 75% has got to be unprecedented this late in the season

beast (2-Jan) : I don't care deeply, just want some good entertaining games

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : BTW, not serious.

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : You don't care about it either!!!!

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : NIL and Portal killed college, no one cares about it.

Mucky Tundra (2-Jan) : outside of Texas-Arizona St, it's been a snoozefest

beast (2-Jan) : I expect Georgia will change that tomorrow, but we'll have to wait and see. If they do, then only Big 10 and SEC are left.

beast (2-Jan) : So much for Conference Championship meaning something as 100% (so far) of the conference Champions lost their first playoff game.

Zero2Cool (1-Jan) : Jaire had surgery, season over.

Mucky Tundra (1-Jan) : I guess I need a new sig Pic. Boo

Mucky Tundra (1-Jan) : Eric Dickerson approves of this decision

beast (1-Jan) : Eagles are resting RB Saquon Barkley, so there is no chance he breaks the record despite being just 101 yards from it

Zero2Cool (1-Jan) : Patriots are waiving veteran pass rusher Yannick Ngakoue

beast (1-Jan) : Happy New Year's 🥳🎉

beast (31-Dec) : I want to them chant some songs for Daniel Whelan

beast (31-Dec) : Let's win one! Also, hopefully the Irish will stand with Daniel Whelan

Mucky Tundra (31-Dec) : After London and Brazil, I could go without an overseas game for a while

Zero2Cool (31-Dec) : Packers. Steelers. Ireland. 2025. Reports say.

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Matt Lafleur on if Jaire will play again this season. "Yeah I don't know... he's been dealing with swelling."

Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : After the way they played for most of the game yesterday, I don't see how you can sit anyone for the whole game

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : I'd say play everyone. Going into playoffs at 7th seed on two game lose streak - yucky

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Do the Packers have any best players?

beast (30-Dec) : Play or Rest*

beast (30-Dec) : Should the Packers play or free their best players vs the Bears?

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Packers should be 3 - 2 in the Division. Bonkers being swept by both Lions and Vikings. yikes

go.pack.go. (30-Dec) : All crazy stuff…and good point beast

beast (30-Dec) : Packers should be 0-5 in the division, can't say I saw that coming, even 1-4

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Sam Darnold 35 TD's ... another one

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Baker Mayfield, 39 TD's ... can't say I saw that one

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : No matter who is playing as 7th, I think we want them to win. Get rid of 2nd seed haha

go.pack.go. (30-Dec) : That would be dhazer who was rooting for Minnesota

beast (30-Dec) : Well, Commanders are currently the 6th seed and Packers the 7th

beast (30-Dec) : Who was it in Chat, that wanted the Vikings to win (because Lions fans upset them) because Packers could not lose the 6th seed?

beast (30-Dec) : If Falcons win, Packers stay as the 6th seed and Falcons lead the NFCS, if they lose, Commanders 6th and Bucs take NFCS lead

beast (30-Dec) : Win or Loss, the NFCS is going down to week 18

Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : if the Falcons win, how does that affect the overall NFC playoff picture? Does it mean that the NFC South comes down to week 18?

beast (30-Dec) : If Commanders win, the Packers drop to the 7th seed

beast (29-Dec) : Taylor still at it!

beast (29-Dec) : Colts get the ball and fumble turn over
