Comments on: Favre Accuses Packers of Dishonesty http://packergeeks.wordpress.com/2008/07/14/favre-accuses-packers-of-dishonesty/ All Things Green Bay Packers Wed, 19 Jun 2013 17:11:45 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Aaron http://packergeeks.wordpress.com/2008/07/14/favre-accuses-packers-of-dishonesty/#comment-2067 Tue, 15 Jul 2008 00:54:09 +0000 http://packergeeks.wordpress.com/?p=891#comment-2067 “The only motivation here should be who will get the Packers the furtherest this season.” – Completely incorrect. Thompson’s job is not to sell out for a championship in one season, but to maintain the roster for the foreseeable future with the goal of winning a championship.

I think what everyone is missing here is the fact that Thompson is obviously sold on Rodgers. Why is that so crazy? It’s no crazier than Ron Wolf trading a first round pick for a third stringer no one had ever heard of…

When Bret is traded (and that’s inevitable at this point), he better hope Rogers has the physical endurance that will get him through the season and Bret doesn’t lead a team like Tampa Bay to the playoffs. Let’s face it, in two playing opportunites Rogers failed to answer the bell for the second round.

The only motivation here should be who will get the Packers the furtherest this season. The choice, a journeyman QB who has never failed to be there when he was needed and a potentially fragile “China Doll”. Nothing against Rogers but just what has he done to earn the starting job?

And most important, can you just imagine the pressure that will be on Rogers in each and every game. Favre fans, and there are many, will boo him off the field if he he faulters in any way.
