Brett Will Be Back in 2010By Dan O'DonnellIf only to get his free oil change!
One has to admire Jim Cooper's dedication to his Vikings--those oil changes can run up to $35! Only a true fan just gives them away, even to Brett Favre. |

You're right, Mark, he did learn from the best. The Pack has a pretty good coaching staff. Remember, your egotistical boyfriend favre wouldn't mentor Rodgers. It wasn't part of his job. Translation 1. He's too good to be bothered with helping to improve the team for the future or 2. He was already scared that AR would take over his position. You decide.

Mark - the Packers are more than glad to move forward with Rodgers #12 - he was the steal of the 2005 draft, and his 1st two seasons as a starter have proven to KNOWLEDGEABLE football fans all over the NFL. that this guy is good, better than good. Rodgers does not need fair weather old #4 groupees like you. he has real fans, Packer fans and NFL fans who OPEN their eyes, not just come on here and express - BLINDED OPINIONS, because of your life-long IDOL>

Of course most of the int's came in the losses. His overall playoff stats are not that bad. The only 2 playoff losses I truly hold him accoutable for are this year and the Giants. And really the Giants game should have been won before that pass took place if their coaching had been better. Lack of adustments to Burress cost them that game more that 1 bad pass. The bad game against St Louis, they were completely over matched and would have lost anyway. Go ahead with Rodgers. U can have him

Mark - my final example of OLD #4's failures - miserable failures in the playoffs. Joe Montana in 23 playoff games - 45 TD passes and 21 Picks - and 4 Superbowl Titles. Favre in 24 playoff games - 44 TD passes and 30 Picks - and 1 Superbowl Title. Problem for old #4 - 25 of his Interceptions came in 11 disasterous losses.

Steve, just as I said, you are picking and choosing Longwell's stats. Why are 2008 and 2009 the only ones that are important? Just because they are recent? I have said all along that Favre's pass was his mistake and his fault. I never said it wasn't. What I am saying is that overall Favre is a winner. You are the one just picking and choosing stats to fit your theory. You never look at his number of TD passes, wins, 4th qtr comebacks, etc. That shows me you cannot give a fair argument.

Mark - In 2008 and 2009 - Ryan Longwell attempted 8 field goals from 50 yards or more, can you follow this. Longwell made all 8 field goals attempted from 50 yards or longer. Here is the tricky part now Mark, that means Longwell is - 8 for 8 - from 50 yards or more since 2008, Number 1 in the NFL. Do you understand. If you life-long IDOL had not tossed another PRETTY INTERCEPTION, Longwell kicks and makes from aroung 52 yards and the ppurple Queens head to the Superbowl. So Simple Mark.

By the way, Longwell is 22-36 in 50 kicks. Not sure where you are picking and choosing your stats. Typical Packer fans. They like to pick stats that fill their thinking. Of course Brett has lots of playoff stats both good and bad. He's played in a ton of playoff games. Duhhhh. I could play this stat game forever. Question: Which QB in the NFL hangs onto the ball forever and ever and ever because he's afraid to make a risky throw and will NEVER win a SB because of that mentality?

Too bad, Mark, that we'll never know if Longwell would have made that field goal thanks to your man crush, favre. For somebody that likes to call Rodgers a "stat" quarterback, you sure like to throw favre stats out there. Considering that he only has 1 Super Bowl victory in his 19 years in the NFL, by YOUR standards, he is a "stat" quarterback. As long as you're in the mood for stats, don't forget that he holds the record for playoff losses as a starting quarterback, but he's not close on wins.

There you go making excuses for him. I could say the same thing. Minnesota's defense should have stopped New Orleans in OT. Blah, blah, blah. How many total 4th qtr comebacks does Rodgers have anyway? What I'm saying with Favre is that even if he's under contract, if a team doesn't like what a player is doing, they get rid of him. If they thought they were being held hostage (which is a joke) then get rid of him. Did Michael Jordan, John Elway, Marino, etc have to compete for their jobs?

How many times, especially in 2008, did Rodgers lead the 2 minute offense to a lead changing touchdown, field goal, or attempt only to have the defense turn around and give up a score or have the field goal missed? How many 2 minute drives should he be expected to lead at the end of a game? Your arguments hold no water. He is a very good quarterback. He is respected by his teammates and is an excellent leader. He's not the next Favre, but true Packer fans know that and don't want him to be.

Need I remind you that Favre was under contract with GB when he retired. They traded him because thats what he wanted. They didn't trade him because "he couldn't play anymore." Again, common sense says you don't give a good player to a team you play twice a year. If he thought he was better than Rodgers, why didn'the offer to come back and compete for the job? He thought he shouldn't have to, he's bigger than the team. I say he was scared that AR would beat him out fair and square.
37432864 Flag for moderationThursday, Feb 11 at 11:52 AM Mark wrote ...
By a stat QB, I am referring to the fact that he gets good stats but it won't translate into 4th qtr wins because he is afraid of throwing an int. That's what I'm talking about. He's so worried about his stats that he won't risk anything. Sure, with Brett you are going to get some int's but you will also get more wins. Take it or leave it. I disagree with your other comment. The Packers thought Favre was done so don't cry about being hostage. Cut him if you don't like it or deal with it.
37431521 Flag for moderationThursday, Feb 11 at 9:52 AM JB89 wrote ...
If you think GB would have won 11 games with Favre at QB this season, you know absolutely nothing about football. AR's legs got him out of trouble numerous times where Favre would have either been sacked, or more than likely, thrown an interception. That's part of the reason why you let a future Hall of Famer go. Of course, since you know he's still a good quarterback (but not better than your current starter), you DON'T want him to go to a team you play twice a year. Common sense.

Mark, you continue to say that Rodgers is a stat quarterback only. How in the world can you say that. Of course then you like to throw Favre's stats at us. As soon as we show that Roger's stats are as good or better, you go back to the stat quarterback thing. You said the quarterback doesn't play defense. In 2008 GB averaged 26.2ppg, 2009 they averaged 28.8. They went from 6-10 to 11-5. Explain how this makes Rodgers a "stat" quarterback.

I'll give him that, but he's no Favre. 30 interceptions but 44 TD's and a 13-10 record. Better than most. Manning is 9-9. Favre also has 40 more wins than the closest QB. I am not scared.

Let's go back to Favre'e 2nd year as a starter. He had 19. Rodgers had 30. Compare apples to apples. If you want to compare this year, who had more yards while being sacked more times? Who had more rushing yards? Who had the better average per completion? Who had the longest TD pass? Who had more passes for 20 and 40 ? We could do this all day. The fact is you are scared to death that Rodgers and the Packers will be successful without Favre, so you can't admit AR is an excellent quarterback.

Well Mark I have news for you, TT is one of the best GM's in the NFL, the PACKERS 11 and 5 season was a success, and now they will build on it, hopefully making a run at the Superbowl next season. That was no longer a possibility with the, INTERCEPTION MACHINE, old #4, The Choker. TT was smart, now we have a chance. PERION

Again, I NEVER said Packer management handled the situation perfectly. I do believe they said the same thing. I simply said they made the right decision in the end. Favre is wrong. He is simply a player that thinks he is bigger than the game. He was/is a very good quarterback. Nothing more, nothing less. His ego caused the problems. By you continually saying the Packers won't be successful, you're continually proving that you're scared they will be.

I am not scared that they will succeed because they won't. I can't believe you people support Thompson. He is the arrogant one. If you really think he is not arrogant you have not done your reading. I say the Thompson-Favre spat was a 50-50 at fault situation. So, I'm not saying Brett was not at fault at all but you cannot tell me that the situation was handled well by Packer management. You think you know the full story of the fiasco but I bet all the negative Packer stuff is not out yet.

Excellent point Maire. Mark, not one time have I ever said Rodgers will be the next Favre or even that he'll be better. I simply side with all TRUE Packer fans in that the team made the right decision. They called his bluff, and his true colors showed. For you to say you want to see them fail tells me you were never a true fan. When it comes down to it, you are scared to death they will succeed with Rodgers at quarterback. As a fan, I want them to succeed no matter who is under center.

Never forgive him for what he did? You should be talking about the diva. Favre only does this retirement bit to get attention. Any day now I expect to see another picture of the "injuries" or something because attention started to fade away. Favre is pathetic. Just as his supporters are. I could give examples but I know it will not make any difference. The Favre fans will support him even if he were caught in bed with underage teens while watching two dogs fighting in the next room.

What did he do? Favre left. Then kept waffling until the Packers finally said goodbye. This is all Favre's fault. He admitted that he always thought they would keep asking him and then did the diva act when the Packers had enough. The team is more than one player and one player should not hold a team hostage while he pretends to be undecided. Thompson should be given a medal - not vilified. Thompson did the right thing. Enough with the hero worship. Favre does not deserve it.

I do want them to fail until Thompson is gone. I will never forgive him for what he did and I'm not the only one. There are many of us fans out there. Once he is gone it might be different.

Mark-the problem is that you want the Packers to fail. There is no rationale for it. You want them to fail because Favre is no longer with them. You will ignore anything good the Packers do because of this obsession you have with Favre.
37334041 Flag for moderationTuesday, Feb 9 at 7:57 PM Mark wrote ...
Of course it will go on without him. I don't have a problem with that. Football is always bigger than a player. Rodgers might be a decent player but you will see over the years that he is no Brett Favre and you'll see it by the fact that they will not win as many games. You might rip Favre for his int's in some big games but just think how many times he wins games too. You discount that. Rodgers is a stat QB, plain and simple and you won't realize it until the next 10 years have gone by.

I guess that means that hitting on 30% of your draft picks is a good number for GMs. Face it, they did a great job replacing a legend at quarterback. You can't stand the fact that Rodgers has come in for your hero and been successful. Facts are facts. It kind of sucks for you because after 40 plus years of supposedly being a Packer fan, you will have nobody to cheer for when Favre finally retires. Enjoy your football seasons bashing the Packers management. Should be fun.

I'd like to see where I said Favre was useless. You never were a Packer fan if you jumped ship over the Favre issue. Management hardly sold out the fans. They did what was best for the TEAM. I agree that the Packers had a great record while Favre was their quarterback. I was as big a fan of his as anybody. However, HE SOLD OUT THE FANS. HE RETIRED. HE WENT TO THE VIKINGS SO HE COULD STICK IT TO THE PACKERS. You worship him like he's God. Where will he move his franchise next year?
37299503 Flag for moderationTuesday, Feb 9 at 2:37 PM Mark wrote ...
You think I am a Viking fan but you are wrong. I'm a Brett Favre fan. If you look at the Packer wins & losses from the time he got here until when he left, you'll have a hard time finding a team with a better record in that time frame. I already know that it has to do with more than just the QB but the QB is a big part of it.
37297752 Flag for moderationTuesday, Feb 9 at 2:34 PM Mark wrote ...
I know everything about their roster. I was a Packer fan for 42 years up until 2 years ago when management acted like they knew everything and pretty much sold out the fans. It shouldn't be hard to replace a 17 year veteran who in your words is useless. That should be easy. I don't want to compare to other GM's. Why should I? I'm saying Thompson's picks hit 30%. Plain and simple. Guys like Harrell, Lee, Thompson, Underwood, Poppinga, Sitton, Flynn etc are all a dime a dozen.
37297571 Flag for moderationTuesday, Feb 9 at 12:57 PM JB89 wrote ...
And, they were 6-10 the year before. Going from 6-10 to 11-5 with a new quarterback replacing a guy who was there for 17 years...that's called seeing your team improve dramatically. Do you understand? That's 5 more wins this year than last. A team on the rise. Continued improvement. That's what you like to see, especially with a young team.

You could have just started another post, or couldn't you figure that out? Maybe the Packers will lose more next year, but maybe not. I want more than just speculation base arguments. For some reason that seems to be all you can do, speculate and throw out weak statistics. The fact is, you know nothing about the Packers roster or the guys on it. That's why you included guys that were on injured reserve.
37289531 Flag for moderationTuesday, Feb 9 at 12:47 PM JB89 wrote ...
You call me a first grader and throw some loose stats out there. Give me facts. Worthless why, because they were injured? Are all football players that contribute to a team starters? Who are you to say they wouldn't start? You've scouted them in practice? Give me facts. Give me reasons they wouldn't start elsewhere. Give me other GMs and the number of draft picks they still have on their rosters contributing. Compare the Packers schedule with the viqueens. You still need to win the games.
37289057 Flag for moderationTuesday, Feb 9 at 11:56 AM Mark wrote ...
You get it straight. I didn't include 2009 because I ran out of room. If you read my original note I said he was hitting on 30% roughly. I never said ALL the picks stunk. And of course some of them are on the roster. He can't cut all his picks or he'd have no players. Wow, this is like 1st grade. Many of those guys you listed are worthless and would not start on other teams. 11-5 this year but what about last? Next years schedule will be much tougher and you will lose more games.
37285002 Flag for moderationTuesday, Feb 9 at 9:59 AM JB89 wrote ...
2008: Jordy Nelson, Pat Lee, Jermichael Finley, Jeremy Thompson, Josh Sitton, Breno Giacomini, Matt Flynn, Brett Swain. You didn't include 2009 because most of them contributed a ton as rookies. Here you go: BJ Raji, Clay Matthews, TJ Lang, Quinn Johnson, Jarius Wynn, Brandon Underwood, and Brad Jones. Get your facts straight, Mark, youngest team in the NFL 11-5=good drafts. It's not easy to make a team in the NFL. I'd say Thompson has hit plenty of times.

OK, first of all, you have included guys still on the roster. I suppose their all supposed to be in the Pro Bowl? Secondly, is every draft pick supposed to make the team? Other GMs never miss? How's this, 2005: Aaron Rodgers (steal of the draft), Nick Collins, Brady Poppinga, Mike Montgomery. 2006: AJ Hawk, Daryn Colledge, Greg Jennings, Jason Spitz, Will Blackmon, Johnny Jolly. 2007: Brandon Jackson, James Jones, Allen Babre, Korey Hall, Desmond Bishop, Mason Crosby.

I think Brett is still a better QB than Manning and is 100 times better than A-rod. Packer fans sell themselves as knowledgeable football fans. That's a hoot. If Brett is a choker, what does that make guys like Marino and other great QB's that NEVER won a SB? Mannings interception yesterday just shows that, that stuff can happen to anyone. The best thing ever is that A-rod will never win a SB. Never, ever, ever and Packer fans will still love him for that. Hahahehehaha.

You have to accept both sides of Brett. It is said in some circles that "perception is reality". This is especially true for Favre acolytes. It is also true that reality hit pretty hard with about 30 seconds left in the NFC Championship game. Save your blind faith for something with a higher cause.
