I may leave those types of comments until I’m fifty…..

Here’s my final word on the subject. I wish the Packers, Rodgers and most of all Packer fans a wonderfully successful season, with a coda in Dallas.

Goodnight.

“and for those in fantasy football, don’t hesitate to make him your #1 QB this year because nobody will be better.”

Rodgers I think ended up being the best last year for QBs. I mean, there is fair reason to think Rodgers is going off the draft boards (in fantasy football in case you didn’t see that) very very early.

The article points out a few things. The type of person Rodgers is, and what he does. How much work he puts into everything he does, and the way handles everything in life, past or present. It also points out what he’s accomplished, and how good he’s getting.

I think everyone here understands and doesn’t expect Rodgers to be the best QB playing or to ever play in the NFL right now. He has a long way to go, but he’s well on track to getting to that point. It’s unlikely he will make it above all the other names out there, but time will tell. We just know he’s been very impressive and it looks like he will have an outstanding career for people to remember.

Hopefully we can just end this argument and realize what everyone is saying. You have mistaken us. We may of mistaken you.

My first initial response to you was regarding the fact I thought you were some flame boy packer fan hater on the viking band wagon. Saying Rodgers is no good, can’t win games bla bla bla. All I tried to do was to prove to you, the situation could not be better with where Rodgers is after his first 2 seasons as a starter. I am a die hard fan, and I will stay true to this team and defend them all my life. So when I know someone is saying something that is totally not warranted, I will back it up. Sorry if it sounds like I pounced on you with a bunch of huffing and puffing.

And to defend Nick in this whole thing. All he did was repeat the fact that nobody was talking about him being the best. And that you had mistaken this whole thing. The article was solely focused on how Rodgers conducts himself, and how valuable he is in fantasy football. Most of us believe he will be at the top at some point in his career in terms of real football, the difference is, we understand and don’t expect him to be there yet. So were not saying it. Yet.

Anyways – it’s sure been one hell of an exchange in football talk! Now just a couple days till camp opens!

And I never said there are “no better QBs than Rodgers”. You need to re-read my initial entry. I said that he would be the best QB from a fantasy football perspective. Even though it’s well within the realm of possibility that he will also be the best overall QB this year, I didn’t say that. And importantly, the opinion that Rodgers will be the best FF QB this year isn’t just some crazy homer opinion – it’s one shared by many FF draft experts and it’s also backed by Rodgers’ stats from 2009.

Lastly, I realize things get contentious from time to time on this website, but I can’t say it enough that your comments, as well as the comments of everyone, are always welcome here.

But we are discussing the present. Re-read your initial entry. There are no better QB’s than Rodgers? Did Manning the Elder and Tom Brady retire? Believe me, Favre was not on my radar. He is the NFL’s QB emeritus.

I made a short comment and was immediately pounced on by Nick and Travis, with all the requisite sophomoric huffing and puffing.

As one of my Parochial school teachers was wont to proclaim. Non importa. And besides, the Met Opera just sent me a $100 gift card, so who in Hades cares about Rodgers, Packers or even Favre?

Peace and love to all.

Causa Finita…long grateful sigh that the ordeal is finally over.

And trust me, the things Viking fans say about our players is nothing to compared to the Favre cracks.

Also, not sure why it’s problematic for a Packer fan on a Packer website to take a crack at Favre. Nick was responding to Campbell’s initial comment – which is what started this series of comments. (And Campbell herself is no stranger to trading barbs with the anti-Favre and/or pro-Rodgers group – she does this often…which she knows is welcome here.) Seems to me that the QB for our most hated rival is both a fair and logical target for barbs.

i’m quite sure Favre would survive without the media attention. he’ll have to one day. however, i think the media needs Favre more than Favre needs the media.

I’m not a fan how things went down. And very few are. I don’t regret moving onto Rodgers. I agree the things Favre does and says has gotten annoying and it is pretty dramatic at times where enough is enough.

I do not bash him. Whether I agree or not about the things he does or says, it does not mean I run my mouth about him. I have my views on the things that go around. And normally I don’t read about all the articles about whats going on with him. I am aware of what’s happening, and that’s all I am interested in. I’m not someone who continues to debate and trash him every chance I get. Nick is right, it’s stupid to just continue to talk and talk and talk, and read and read and read about every little detail. We know what’s going on, we hear the big news, who cares about the rest. The past is old news.

I respect the guy for what he’s done for Green Bay in the past. But I don’t agree that the things he’s said or done have been the best. Who gives a dam? I sure as hell don’t. Just let it be.

So please tell me how your including me as one of those fans who take a crack at Favre at every opportunity. If your going to bring an argument to the table, maybe you should first read, and then think about what the hell your going to say.
