The only thing that made Brett great was Holmgren..

He had the tools but needed Mike to make them come out

I would disagree, Brett had and still has a drive and competitive nature that makes players great.. Brett owes Mike in some regards, but not anymore than Mike owes Brett for helping make him the household name he is as well.

Sometimes relationships just work out mutually beneficial for both parties.. this to me is an example of one.

Who took a vote to bench him and decided it wasnt right and went against the voters? Who sat Bret tdown and told him?

I am saying if it wasnt for that exact moment Brett wouldnt have been where he is right now

I will reword it.. Brett benefited from Mike.. no doubt.

Mike benefited from Brett.. again no doubt.

Your initial post seemed one sided.. which in my opinion it most certainly is not.

Your pissed at and/or have been hurt by Brett, we see that, just as we see others that are pissed at and/or hurt by Thompson.

I tend to be neutral and objective on the topic.. other than I was hoping this offseason wasn't mired in the same turmoil as last season. I got kicked in the nuts on that one..

We should've started with the TJ Rubley era in 1995.

After all these years.. that is still a kick below the belt.. never in all my years of watching football did I want to grab a player by the face mask, slam his ass to the ground and scream at him for what the *&$( he was thinking..

I think Wayne Simmons should have used him as a practice dummy the following week.. cutting his ass was to kind. :lol:

Source...

The packers last lost on Nov. 5 at Minnesota, due in part to third-string quarterback T.J. Rubley's inexplicably audibling out of a third-and-one quarterback sneak to a pass that was intercepted. That led to a game-winning field goal by the Vikings. Chalk it up to "the curse of Vince Lombardi" is all Green Bay coach Mike Holmgren could say afterward to general manager Ron Wolf. Who could blame Holmgren and Wolf if they half believed that the patron saint of Packerland was not smiling upon them? Their luck has been that bad.

I am off base.. fine. I apologize..

But your argument is completely speculative... you of all people wanting facts to back everything stated as fact to have concrete proof.

So prove your one-sided statement.. I want links to an alternate universe where you can prove that the benching made Brett the player he was.. I want a concrete link to the future without said benching since...

The only thing that made Brett great was Holmgren..

"Longtime" wrote:

My point is your words were framed in a way that makes it appear that Holmgren is the "only" reason Brett became a HOF QB... and I disagree with saying that it is a mutually beneficial relationship.. neither "made" the other.. they together made things happen.

So I made an assumption... my bad.. carry on.

1st, yeah my wording was wrong so I apologize...I see how it confused people.

I would think that people would know it was my opinion so I'll clarify why I thought that........Even tho opinions can't be proven?

I read these parts in the article you posted..

Mike told Brett

I will not hesitate to pull you if we're losing games with the same mistakes we made last year.

So since Brett didn't take that warning to heart the 1st time and was still making the same mistakes, chances are he was going to keep making them..

So then Mike had the vote, knew everyone wanted Mark to be q/b, but he tried one last time cuz he saw the awesome part of Brett when lot others didnt.

So when he said

We're joined at the hip, either we're going to the Super Bowl together, or we're going down together

Something must have went off in Brett and MADE him realize how serious or how confident Mike was in him..

What went off I dont know but something did..

Then we have this after that talk

In the 41 regular-season games since, the Packers are 30-11. Favre has thrown 101 touchdown passes and only 33 interceptions.

I agree 1000% with they both needed ecah other in order to get where they got, no doubt about that....

but again with out that talk with Brett, I dont think it would have ever got to that point

I am talking about one minute out of their lives..not the entire body of work between the two,maybe your misunderstanding?

Ahhh... understood.. in reading your first post... "the only reason" barked out loudly and made it sound more like fact than opinion.

Yes I think Brett greatly benefited from Mike's stern nature.. from everything we now about Irv.. it is funny that Irv recommended Mike backing down some..

Martha Careful (15h) : thank you Mucky for sticking up for me

Martha Careful (15h) : some of those people are smarter than you zero. However Pete Carroll is not

Mucky Tundra (19h) : Rude!

beast (19h) : Martha? 😋

Zero2Cool (23h) : Raiders hired someone from the elderly home.

dfosterf (24-Jan) : I'm going with a combination of the two.

beast (24-Jan) : Either the Cowboys have no idea what they're doing, or they're targeting their former OC, currently the Eagles OC

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Fake news. Cowboys say no

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.

beast (23-Jan) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?

beast (23-Jan) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you

wpr (22-Jan) : Z, glad you are feeling better.

wpr (22-Jan) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.

wpr (22-Jan) : Beast- back to yesterday, I CAN say OSU your have been Michigan IF the odds of making the playoffs were more urgent.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : I've been near death ill last several days, finally feel less dead and site issues.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : It is a big deal. This host is having issues. It's frustrating.

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : just kidding...it was down

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : you were blocked yesterday, due to a a recalcitrant demeanor yesterday in the penalty box for a recalcitrant demeanor

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Was that site shutdown on your end or mine? No big deal, just curious

beast (21-Jan) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere

beast (21-Jan) : Also, with these "Super Conferences" instead of a single conference champion, have 4 teams make a Conference playoffs.

beast (21-Jan) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : The tournament format was fine. Seeding could use some work.

beast (21-Jan) : You can't assume Ohio State would of won the Michigan game...

beast (21-Jan) : Rankings were 1) Oregon 2) Georgia 3) Texas 4) Penn State 5) Notre Dame 6) Ohio State, none of the rest mattered

wpr (21-Jan) : Texas, ND and OSU would have been fighting for the final 2 slots.

wpr (21-Jan) : Oregon and Georgia were locks. Without the luxury of extra playoff berths, Ohios St would have been more focused on Michigan game.

wpr (21-Jan) : Zero, no. If there were only 4 teams Ohio State would have been one of them. Boise St and ASU would not have been selected.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : So that was 7 vs 8, that means in BCS they never would made it?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : A great game. Give ND credit for coming back, although I am please with the outcome.

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : FG to make it academic

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : and there's the dagger

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ooooooooohhhhhh he missed!

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Ooooo that completion makes things VERY interesting

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Game not over yet

beast (21-Jan) : Oh yeah, Georgia starting quarterback season ending elbow injury

beast (21-Jan) : Sadly something happened to Georgia... they should be playing in this game against Ohio State

beast (21-Jan) : I thought Ohio State and Texas were both better than Notre Dame & Penn State

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame getting rolled

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : Ohio State just got punched in the gut. Lets see how they respond

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame vs the Luckeyes, bleh
