As this drama has continued on now for the past few years I have grown increasingly disgusted with the behavior of Favre. He acts like a spoiled kid who can’t decide witch toy he wants to play with. The other galling issue is Brett acting as if he saved the Packers and they owe him. Frankly the Packers saved him when they took a risk on the then unknown QB. What Brett is doing is selfish and incredibly unerving. The team is ready to move on, Aaron has been patient for many years, and now Brett just wants to waltz back in like he owns the place?

Thank you for finally pointing out the irregularities in Favre’s version of events. Not calling him a liar but he certainly hasn’t been honest to the fans. I can’t take this drama anymore for crying out loud! Just stay RETIRED Favre!

I feel badly for the Packers more than for Brett. The bottom line for the organization is, sooner or later, Brett will no longer play for Green Bay and they will have to move on. In three big games last year – the Bears game in Chicago, the Cowboys game, and the playoff game with the Giants – IMO Brett was nothing special, and that’s the last thing you want to say about someone who has been possibly your franchise’s best player ever. That’s a pretty stunning indictment, and it means to me that he’s really on the downside of his career.

He’s a good player now – no longer a consistently great player. He’s mortal and everyone in the NFL knows it. (Remember Reggie White’s last year or two in Green Bay, then in Carolina?) I think he should have retired and stay retired. What he’s doing now is needlessly dramatic and will make him look both egotistical and foolish in years to come.

Possibly the best move for the Packers is simply to keep him and let him be Rodgers’ backup. If someone outside the division (or the conference) makes them an offer they can’t refuse, great – otherwise he can compete just like everyone else. But as of March, it’s Aaron Rodgers’ job to lose.
