Green Bay Should Be Ashamed Of Themselves

[bigdawg43]

irritates me. I don't think that the packers owe Favre anything. He can comeback if he wants he just might not start, although given Rodgers history he would be starting by the 2nd half of game one. If they decide to move on then they should let him go. Many of the "greats" have finished their careers with other teams ( Namath, Unitas, Montana, Stabler ) so if he goes somewhere else it would be no big deal.

Chuck u want him back because your a brett farve fan not cause its best for the team.My take is if you didnt want to to retire you shouldn't have.Anyone
who has played the game knows you get that itch around May.With that being said he should have waited till then to decide. I understand what Green
Bay is going through but they need to move on to see what rogers is really
about .If farve wouldn't have retired the offense would have been based around him, but since he did they start building there offense toward Aarons
abilities. So tuff move your feet lose your seat.

Dre' have to disagree with you on this topic my friend. We need to go back to the 2003 season. If you recall Favre's father passed away unexpectedly the day before they were to play a Monday game against the Raiders. Favre lit up the Raiders that night and the sports world was pulling for Brett and his family. The retirement talk began at the end of the 2003 season and as we all know has been the subject at the end of every season since then. In other words for the last five years at the end of the season the question was is Brett going to retire. We must not forget his tearful retirement conference in March. If you say you are retired then please retire. The only thing I fault the Packers for is that they did not clean out and move the belongings from his locker after he announced his TEARFUL retirement. Now it is obvious that they were crocodile tears. I no longer like to listen to sports center or go to the NFL Network because that is all I hear. In my book his legacy is ruined. As was said earlier Unitas, Montana, Namath, and Stabler finished there careers elsewhere and only Stabler is not in the Hall Of Fame. Also when these greats announced there retirement they did just that. They retired. So Brett you need to understand it is NOT ALL ABOUT YOU. Finally if I am the Packers I would send him to Miami for Jason Taylor.

The constitution protects your right to earn a wage in this country. Therefore, should you want to work and have the ability to work no one has the right to forfeit you the opportunity to earn a living. Therefore, Brett can retire 40 times and should be allowed an opportunity to play should that be his desire.

However, someone has to offer him a job. In this case Green Bay has right to him under the "reserve retired" rule in the nfl. He has 3 years remaining on his contract. The question is "should Green Bay let him go?" There are a few things that come to mind here when I think of this. To me Green Bay has a better shot at making it further into the playoffs with Brett because of his experience. However, his return make take a tole on the emotional psychy of his predecessor which will in turn destroy the very near future of this franchise.

So you ask yourself if the goal is to stabalize the franchise long term then the answer would be to release him. However, this is a business and just releasing him isn't the answer. There are many teams interested therefore Favre obviously has trade value so a trade would seem the most likely. Having him on the bench as a backup eating up salary cap space makes no sense.

If your goal is to win right now the obvious thing would be to make amends, move forward and allow Favre back into cap. Then you ask yourself what happens to the emotional Psychy of your young QB? You know what I say to this? If a QB in a tradtion rich program such as the Packers can't bounce back from being benched then he probably won't be able to handle the pressures of playing for such a historical organization!

My suggesstion, allow him back. The goal is to win the Super Bowl and Favre gives you the best opportunity to do that. How many athletes in all sports retire yet only to return over and over again. Michael Jordan did it twice, Evander Holyfield, George Foreman, Bernard Hopkins and Oscar Dela Hoya all continue to do it, Strahan did it last year as well as many other greats! So I say let him return.

let me say this to start my thoughts on the matter- I AM A HUGE BRETT FARVE FAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now with that being said, here is my take on the whole thing (after getting resent updates) and what I think they (Packers) should do.

1st, Favre should not have retired but he said it was forced....I might believe that based on how last season finished, how could a guy walk away after such a great season...however it was Favre who said the words and dropped the tears...

A.Rodgers is NOT ready for primetime- has not made it thru a full year being a BACKUP - how long would he last as THE MAN....
he has been in the shadows of Favre for his time in the NFL, but when he gets on the field he gets hurt - Favre on the other hand has not missed a game since he took over for QB...you can count on him to be there...

if they cut Farve, they get nothing but headaches, heartaches, and maybe losses, but you also get the chance that Favre would come back to play against the Packers....no one wants that in Packers Nation. AND the Packers would get nothing from that senerio....

...since Favre is vested, he can dictate where, if any, he would get traded to so the Packers lose this battle because (1) they are limited to where they could send him; (2) won't get much for him anyway..........

If Rodgers is THE guy, THE answer - why did they draft Brohm???

Let Favre come back and do what he does.

Let Rodgers go somewhere else.

Let Brohm learn from the master.

Because Brohm is THE long term plan for the Pack - not Rodgers!

Rodgers Has No Future In Breen Bay & Everyone Knows It,The One Time He Was Allowed To Play He Broke His Foot!!!PLEASE.
