Hey Packer Fans...
- Thread starter jpsted
- Start date
Just wait, Vikings fans! Just wait until Brett gives you a few good years, everybody in MN admires him, and then he gives a big tearful press conference in Minneapolis about how he could play, but doesn't want to, therefore he is retiring.
Then, after the Vikings move on and start gearing up for a new quarterback, good ole' 45 year old Brett shows up at training camp and starts having second thoughts.
In other words, the reason he got booed was because he jerked us around, announced on several occasions (before and after the Jets) that he was indeed retired for good, and in the end joined up with one of our biggest rival teams just to drive the final stake into Ted Thompson. He should have just kept his nice clean legacy in Green Bay, but his indecision screwed that up.

Does anybody honestly think that if you swap brett and rodgers right now that the packers would be 7-1 and minnesota 4-3. WRONG!!! I highly dought we would be any better with favre. At the very best we would have the same record. Brett is behind one of the best offensive lines in the NFL and we have one of the worst. He has the best RB in Adrian Peterson to take the pressure off of him, just a clue people teams dont game plan for Brett its Adrian Peterson. Put Arod in a Vikings uni and hed look like a hall of famer. We did the right thing for the long term let Brett play for a title contender cuz were not their yet but the Vikes are. They were Brett Favre short of a complete puzzle and they've known it for 2 years now. Why do you think their were stipulations of like 4 first rounders if the Jets traded him to the vikes last year dont ya think the pack new it to. If they arent playing us cheer them if they are cheer for the pack. All the Packer fans will be cheering for the Brett and the Vikings come playoff time when the pack are sitting at home. Fyi to Ted Thompson we need o lineman who can play, first rounders and free agents to contend not 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th rounders who just try to make the team. Heres a clue send 1st and 3rd rounders along with Brohm to Clevland for Joe Thomas and Brady Quinn. Then sign a FA right tackle. This would be a good start.

booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
I think it was Ted T who drafted all those packer lineman and Mike M thats coaching them.Like the missed 52 yrd field goal call,nice one.Bretts guilty of 2 things, Retiring and putting it too TED twice and saying it wasnt for spite! GO Brett!! Packer fans are crying like a jilted husband! Get over it,move on. Win or loss my life didn't change any!!
"Just wait, Vikings fans! Just wait until Brett gives you a few good years.. "
I think Vikings fans know this is a one year at a time, or just one year, maybe not even a full year. But it's fun now, I'm just going to enjoy while it lasts.
IMO Best case a year or two, then keep him around coaching, calling plays, teaching the younger guys. Obviously he has no plans past football. What the Pack should have done.

millertime is right. The Pack need an O-line more than enything else. Grant is O.K. but is not and will never be AP. The only reason it was not an absolute blowout was the huge effort by Rodgers who has got to be hurting today. Pack management had to do what they did when faced with the waffling Favre. It is not their fault that Favre has defied father time and slid into a perfect situation. They did all they could to prevent this from happening. But do not worry Packer fans. The Vikes will never win a Superbowl with Chilly in charge.
If they really thought he was washed up, why the huge poision pill in the trade to the Jets. They knew what Chilly had and needed so now he has the perfect QB for the Vikes.
We will enjoy the ride as long as it lasts and then go back to "who can we get for QB?" since drafting didn't work.
GO VIKES

cmillertime,
The question isn't would GB be better, it's would GB be worse off...and the answer is of course not.
Again, the majority of Packer fans backed mgmt in driving a legend out for a young QB. Justified it because Brett waffled a couple times...but don't kid yourself, mgmt certainly played a role in his waffling. It was obvious they did when he decided to play again...mgmt/coaching told him he was 2nd string, would have to earn a starting slot...talk about spitting in ones face. And you can be assured this was discussed with Favre in private well before McCarthy said it on air.
If I were a Packer fan, I would be pizzed that the organization didn't do more to keep Favre a Packer forever.

Just to stir up the pot. We got Brett for zero draft choices and no cash to another team. Just think if the Packers would have traded with Minnesota for maybe draft picks. Could they have gotten a rookie wide receiver/punt returner/wild cat guy, or maybe a starting rookie offensive lineman? Hmmmmmmmm
Thank you Packers management!
Oh, 70000 booos were each worth about $170 to Brett considering what he gets paid per game.

It was still a great game to be at! Even with the Viking guy sitting behind me with his #4 jersey! The weather was great, the beer was cold and there great fans all around us! And for the record I could not bring myself to boo Favre. It was awesome to witness the DRIVER chant when he was hurt on the field, it had to be a rush for him to hear that place going wild for him!

Brett Favre, the only NFL player to win the MVP award three times, will finish his career with the Green Bay Packers.
"I do want to be a Packer for life," Favre said Friday from his home in Kiln, Miss., after the 31-year-old quarterback and the team announced a lifetime extension of his contract via teleconference.
"I couldn't envision myself playing with another team," Favre said. "Don't want to. If that was to ever come up, I probably would just retire. I've made enough money to where I don't need to jump ship and go somewhere else. It was just important to me to stay here."
Favre said that when he grew up, "you could almost name every player at every position for years on the same team, and that was your team. Nowadays, it's hard to say that. And I really feel like the Packers, more so than any team have made it a point to keep their players in house."
Coach Mike Sherman said the pact — the first lifetime contract in club history — "not only ensures Brett will finish out his career here in Green Bay, but also ensures the organization that we have the services, the talent and the leadership of the very best quarterback in the National Football League in the years to come."

Sure Todds, just like when your wife says she wants to spend her life with you till death do you part...then she takes a liking to the younger more attractive looking pool boy.
I have no doubt Favre meant what he said at that point, feelings do change, especially when mgmt goes out on ya after the pool boy..by out I mean helping to force retirement, in order to bring on Rogers.
