Favre

Should the packers have kept him a year longer?

i still think he had plenty of talent left.

also what do you think of our current qb?

Talent - there's no doubt Favre still has talent.  Problem is whether he could harness it within McCarthy's system.

When you combine that with the fact that his more recent playoff performances have been pretty weak (especially in cold weather) and he kept the Pack at bay every year with his "I don't know" routine, and you have the recipe for quarterback change.

Don't get me wrong - I love Brett for what he did for the Packers, but I didn't like how he held the team hostage.  The Packers are bigger than any player, even Favre.

Aaron Rodgers is a very capable quarterback.  If the running game would have been better than last, and if the defense didn't gag so many 4th quarter leads, he would have been held in even higher esteem than he was (by some Packer fans).

Bottom line - his arm strength is excellent, his accuracy is undeniable, and he proved he can play through pain.  He ain't Favre yet, but I don't know if I want him to be...

BTW - thanks for joining the group!

I agree with restorick.

Rodgers has some very big shoes to fill.  A lot of fans are disappointed/mad that he's not Favre.  No one can be Favre, and Rodgers would've done better had there been better defense.

I like Favre, he's arguably the best quarterback the Packers had.  Though, personally, I was sick of the melodrama: "I don't know if I'll come back. Blah Blah Blah."

I think it was time for a new quarterback. Favre can't play forever, and Rodgers needed more expeirence (and better defense wouldn't hurt).

I did think it was about time to release him

I think Rodrick is ok but should the packers get a new quarterback? (nothing against rodrick)

We built a team around Farve now its time to build one around Rodgers!!!

Brett is and always will be my favorite just like my 7th grade math teacher(hot as hell) but I've moved on!

I have actuly met Farve on a make-a-whish- trip.

!!!!!!!!!!!! that's so cool

When, yr ago, a few yrs, recently

I meet him and the rest of the packer team on november 12, 2002. I also met Regy White later that same week and got his atuograoh just befor he died.

Wow

As much as I missed Favre, we were more than right to let him go.  Rodgers never would have re-signed with us if we told him the starting job was his then yanked it right back away from him - and afterall, Rodgers is our future.

i agree cant wait for the season!!!
