Actually, I think Hazer's the closest to being right - I distinctly recall that posters here and on other fan boards were convinced he would leave if they brought Favre back, but Rodgers never said or even intimated anything like that. When the possibility that Favre would come back and compete for the starter's job, he just said he'd be happy to compete as well.

Me, I don't think he would have gone anywhere - he knew that his best possible situation was with Green Bay, so unless the team had done something drastic like re-sign Favre to a new multi-year deal, I think his plan all along was to ride it out and wait his turn.

If it had been me, I would have taken the opportunity to get PAID and get the hell away from the whole Favre situation - I admire the kid's willingness to play his hand out.

Leaving is not the issue. It's how the player goes about leaving. Rodgers didn't threaten to take his marbles and go home if Favre came back. He didn't say he would demand a trade. Cutler did.

Any team has the right to do what it feels is best for it's organization. Be it Denver, Chicago, Green Bay, whatever. If they feel they have a shot at getting better at any position, they have a right to try to do so.
If the player doesn't like it, they can throw a tantrum......sometimes getting their way, sometimes not.
But like was said, ALL players are JUST employees.
Just 2 days ago i heard of a man that worked 20 years for a company, they "downsized", cut his job and he got one month's pay severance.
20 years........busted his butt for them, and he's swept aside.
At least these players don't have to worry how they are gonna make next months rent payment. Even the LOWEST paid players make more in a year then most people make in 5 or more years of hard work.
It's hard for me to feel sorry for any of them.

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

A lot of posters were afraid of this happening, but I always thought the risk was minimal. Rodgers is under contract until 2009 -- the team would have been under no obligation to trade him, even if he raised a stink; he was, after all, only a backup. No one believed Favre was coming back for more than a year anyway. (Did they?)

Me, I don't think he would have gone anywhere - he knew that his best possible situation was with Green Bay, so unless the team had done something drastic like re-sign Favre to a new multi-year deal, I think his plan all along was to ride it out and wait his turn.

While I agree that he probably would not have left -- he seems like a pretty level-headed guy -- I'm curious why you think Green Bay represented the best option for Rodgers. There are other teams with arguably more talent he could have gone to.

While I'm sure the temptation was there, but considering he only had a little more than 3 quarters of regular-season experience, I don't think he would have made more money elsewhere. I think Thompson signed him to a much more lucrative deal than he ever could have secured had he left in the offseason. What teams do you think would have broken the bank for a backup quarterback who'd never even started a regular-season game?

I think most people on this is site said Favre was a little bit of a baby but he earned the right to be one. Cutler is nothing compared to Favre buddy.

Cutler has ony started a bit over two seasons so I don't think anyone is comparing him to Brett(Hofer) in that sense. I noticed you said "most" people on this site said Favre earned the right to be a baby I hope at least you weren't one of them as that is some really flawed logic.

Just for fun though:

(first 3 seasons in the NFL)

Favre- 33 games, 6531 yds, 37 tds, 39 int

Cutler- 37 games, 9024 yds, 54 tds, 37 int

He may not be Favre-like to you now but it looks like he's well on his way.

Yawn... I love ya Cheesey but this statement seems to be more wishful thinking by rival fans than reality. Did it ever occur to you that maybe the Bears Receivers can be more productive now with some actualstability, talent and upside at the QB level(something they haven't had since the McMahon years). I think their problems on the receiving can easily be attributed to poor QB play. I do like objective football discussion though and this board has some of the best posters I've seen online(yes you included Cheese man). By the way, hows your health lately and I was also wondering what WII games you got.

So your saying you think Cutlers numbers wont go down because Chicago's WRS are just as good as Denver's and it was just Orton who made the WRS look bad? Didn't they have to have one of their DB's line up as a WR for a few games or was it the other way around idk? Oops never mind the Bears have all kinds of talent Marty Booker looked great last year. If Hester can't really handle a hard throw by Orton how do you think he's going to do with Cutler?

Do you just make stuff up as you go along? I said "maybe" the bears receivers can be more productive now with a better QB, how did you get Chicago's receivers are as goood as Denver's out of that statement? Orton's longest pass was I believe around 20 yards last season and I read somewhere that he didn't have a pass over 30 yards all season so yeah, QB "might" have something to do with the inept offensive output by the Bears receivers. Why are you coming off all hostile? I'm just trying to look at the Bears offensive problems from more than the old "Their WR suck" point of view so sorry if you don't agree with me. I don't mean to offend anyones opinion on here and I never said the bears WRs were great I just said maybe they weren't that great because of poor QB play. Again, I said "maybe".
