Where did I call someone a name in this post?

---

I did not say it was in this post! i DO NOT appreciate being called a Dumba$$.

---

Yeah?

Well, I didn't appreciate being called an :ahole: by you.

So now we're even!

---

Ok i got a question for you if you are a packer fan. Lets say the packers play the jets. are you at that game time a packer fan or a Favre fan??? :computer:

---

Roddy, its a moot point OK?

The bottom line is that your dreamboy isn't here. Just like it killed you when Pack let go of Freeman, its getting to you now.

3 BIG reasons why Brett had to go.
1. He lost the NFC championship game when he threw that INT
2. He BLEW the Rams game in 2001 playoffs by throwing 6 INTs
3. He has a 3-9 record in the playoffs.
Ted Thompson intended to keep the same team around for a while so with Favre's age and his track record in the playoffs, he had to go. Ted Thompson EXPECTS his team to be in the playoffs a lot.

Put yourself in his shoes... You expect your team to be in the playoffs for the next few years. You feel you have the talent to get there.
You may not WIN the Superbowl this year but you want to lay that foundation so you could win it next or the year after... Then you want your QB that you picked out to get that experience. Ted Thompson didn't want Brett Favre because of his Playoff track record. He would rather take his chances with Rodgers because Brett has been given enough chances in his opinion and failed! Then he retired.

This is essentially the same team that went to the playoffs last year. Except for Favre...

Before ANYONE decides that Ted Thompson is the anti-christ and Rodgers is an idiot, lets give them a chance. 3 games does not a season make.

IF Rodgers has a very subpar season and blows some games that could have had us in the playoffs but we didn't get there, OK, you've got beef and people might actually listen but to post your anger the way you do, YOU come accross as an idiot.

YOUR personal feelings toward Favre is well known now but nobody gives a ---- because you have made yourself to be nothing more than a pest.

---

Plenty of people feel the way I do. More than half of Packerland in fact.

Once more, so you understand.

I have not forgotten BF 's accomplishments, I loved every minute he was behind center, I'm just not willing to give up on or over scrutinize every aspect of my favorite football team because an aging HOF QB isn't sure he can get over his hurt feelings and play for the team that paid him millions of dollars over the last decade and a half.

He has all the records, good for him. Records don't win championships as you and BF and Dan Marino know.

I will say again, I do not worship Ted Thompson , I also will not criticize him for doing what he thinks is best for this team until he completely fails at it which he has yet to do. And to think that he puts himself above the team is, in your words, opinion and conjecture.

AR has proven to be a smart, athletic, talented albeit NEW QB in the NFL. He has shown nothing but promise so far. If he starts stinkin' up the joint I'll be the first to call for his head. But he hasn't yet and you choose not to see that.
Ted Thompson did not promote AR over BF , BF quit, in more ways than one, and the Packers moved on. When all is said and done, it's just that simple. IMHO.

Until you get over the fact that BF is gone and isn't coming back you may as well just go to the jets boards and pronounce you're love for all things Favre over there. Over here we talk about the 2008 GBP, of which BF is not a member.

---

Oh yeah, and BF WORKED for the GBP, he was not the GBP. Get that straight. He did not sign players, he did not coach the team and, back in March, did not know if he wanted the ball in his hands with 2 minutes left anymore. That's when I knew we were ready for a new QB.

---

I don't think it had to do with any of these, and had everything to do with BF retiring, changing the gameplans to suit AR 's QB style, and then suddenly learning BF wanted to come back.

You all know I was on BF 's side when he wanted to come back, but I'm just trying to understand what Ted Thompson and MM were thinking. That's what I'm guessing they were thinking.

They were also thinking that AR is almost as good as BF , AR is cheaper than BF , and thus we can spend money elsewhere, and AR has more upside than BF , and we were wasting time with AR on the bench because he's the QB of the future.

I would have rather had BF started in '08 for us than AR . I readily admit that. However, it's over. Time to move on.

Back on topic - I think the best thing said on this thread was that in only AR 's 3rd start, we only lost by 11 points to the best team in the NFL. AR will only get better this season. There's a good chance that we'll see the Cows again in the Playoffs. Next time, we may even take them.

Am I alone in finding it almost impossible to read these posts with all the heads in them? I'm not trying to be a smart aleck. I just can't stand all those heads.
