I'm looking for some opinions outside the fish bowl that is Green Bay. What do you think of his thoughts on returning to football and the Packers' stance on this? I am assuming most have heard the story because we hear nothing but here in Packerland.

I'll reserve my take on the whole shebang so as not to cloud any body's thoughts. And how about a poll so you can just vote if so desired?

Stay retired at least as a QB. If he wants back in let him do it as maybe a coaching position. Let the new blood have his day. He has been waiting for what like 4 or 5 years.

I say that if he still wants to play, let him try it. It's sad he seems to have made the decision too quickly, and it is proper for Green Bay to have moved on and backed their new quarterback. But if he wants to play, trade him!

On a related note, I would love to see him play for the Vikes. Trevarious could use some time under a quality QB to develop.

I think he should stay retired.  He had a great season last year and finished healthy.  End the career on a high note I say.  He may get hurt and have a horrible season.  He may make a great qb coach and maybe a head coach someday.

Let the guy go or resign him...He's still better than anything they got now and he's better than most QB's in the NFL.

He should play...he had a great year last year and he could probably do the same this year...but then again, the Bears did beat him twice last year!!!  Hey, if they traded him to the Bears, maybe Green Bay could win!?!...it's a thought!!! subtlelaugh.gif

Hey...bottom line...this is not about emotions.  This is about winning.  The answer should be decided strictly on with which QB does the team (management, coaches and players) have the best chance of winning!  The fans should have no input into this, as they have no accountability!

I'm not a big sports fan at all. I could care less if he want's to come out of retirement. Now having said that, I really don't know much about the situation that's going on, but I do know he's had a good run of it over the years. He chose to retire and now he wants what? To come back to the same club he left after his replacement has been put in the slot? The club should support the up and coming guy that was groomed as his replacement, just as they have supported him in past years. If he wants to play still, he needs to settle for second fiddle, a different position(asst. coach maybe) or go to a different team. Just my .2 cents worth.

I'm a Detroit area native but a Packers fan.  When Favre is on, there is none better or more fun to watch.  (like the Barry Sanders of QBs!)  but when he's off his game...  Very Painful!  I would love to see him come back and dominate...  but part of me wants him to stay on the sidelines for fear of him bringing the team down.  If he comes back, he has to have basically his best season EVER!  As far as playing for another team?  C'mon!!!  no way.  That would be EXACTLY like Jordan playing for the Wizards.  A good player, not exactly dominant anymore but keeping the team from growing because he's not going to be there long enough to change a whole program.  He's just there taking up space and they have to play him because of his name. 

cat28.gif  that's my $.02.

 

have a good one!

I know Brett ... not as well as I used to but I still have his current cell phone # .... so I was thinking on texting him and telling him to give it up .... just my opinion .... he doesnt need the dough and he is going to look bad if he does this ..... I also have a bet with him that I am sure I have won ( the bet states that he would make it into the hall at 20 to one ...... I made the bet his 2nd year playing for the Pack ) If he doesnt weasel I would get paid in 5 yrs

Brett had a great career and went out a winner...it would be a shame if he came back to a losing, or even bad, season.  Too many athletes and coaches just don't know when the game has passed them by...it's the origination of the term "hasbeen".

Well thanks for the variety of opinions. Personally I think Favre is acting like an idiot. He is showing just how much he cares about the Packers and Green Bay for that matter. Obviously its all about him. His nonsensical allegations are laughable. Its actually funny to compare his retirement press conference to his recent interviews with Vansustren. He needs to man up and take accountability for his decision and stop blaming Ted Thompson and Mike McCarthy. I am very disappointed in Favre and believe this shows his lack of character. I am truly outraged the Packers have been put in this situation. Hey my last memory of him was from the NFC Championship game... as I watched from the south end zone of Lambeau, he threw a pick that cost Green Bay a chance at the Super Bowl. Again his lack of accountability and waffling really show his true colors. Very sad. No matter I guess as it will work its way out. I'll always think of Bart Starr as the greatest Packer QB. He lived in our community and I went to school with his kids. He was and is a pillar in green Bay and a selfish child like Favre could learn a lot from Bart Starr... CJ, write the tell all and dispel the myth...

I agree completely with this part of Pax's statement.

As an aside, I think the Packers are playing it coy to generate trade interest, so they can at least get some money out of this deal - - after all, Favre is still under contract with the Pack.

I think Favre will play...that the Pack will successfully trade him outside their division, and that he will have a lousy season and wished he had stayed retired...and a Packer!

...just one man's opinion.

And may he rot in NY. Just proves Brett Favre is all about one thing... and that is Brett Favre.

Listen the Packers were willing to eat crow and begin again after this indecisive prick apparently made up his mind to be reinstated. What did he do? He came to Green Bay and then cried like a baby saying he couldn't get beyond what had happened. Cry baby!!

He had made our GM a villain. He has held the Packers hostage at the end of every season for a number of years and this year he finally made a decison... which he apparently regretted and then communicated that to the Packers who were going to send emissaries to his compound in BFE until he told them not too. Whatever... he just crapped on the Packers and Green Bay and I for one will never forgive.

I have a lot of great memories of Favre and some mementos I may or may not burn... or sell... or keep. However here's my last memory of Favre on the field. I only wish I could give you the perspective of being in the South endzone of Lambeau when this took place.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47Hf_m65tCA

And the Jets?? HaHaHa!!subtlelaugh.gif All the things he didn't want to do... study film, the playbook, etc... the work behind the game... he'll need to do in an all new system. Good luck you dumb ass redneck. The Packers picked him off the scrap heap when he was on overweight tub o'lard ready to get booted out of Atlanta and Mike Holmgren made him into a quarterback. So now he's gonna save the Jets? Yeah right?

I told my son this morning Favre ahd been traded to the Jets. He said "I don't care. I already have a new favorite Packer." Oh I wish I could be so forgiving...face4.gif

Brett Favre is without doubt a future Hall of Fame QB. His move is similar to Montana's at the end of his career. Both played their careers essentially for one team, had the natural ability, learned skill, intellect and leadership to be the best and have earned the NFL's highest achievements. Both decided to continue to play the game they love even when doing so means going to a town with a losing record. In the annals however, Brett Favre will always be a Packer and yet this season he will be a professional football player... a starting Quarterback in the NFL. That is pretty cool. He has given the Packer's fans (and all football fans) years of brilliant performances and I wish him the best.

No one can argue Favre is a future hall of famer. That much is certain. However your comparison to Joe Montana and the Niners is faulty. Montana was forced out in a most unceremonious fashion. Favre made a decision, broadcast it to the world while weeping and saying things like, "I  have no regrets..." only to change his mind months later. When given the opportunity to rejoin the team which had clearly had to move on without him, he was unable citing he was unable to get beyond all that had happened. funny, a few days later he claimed this wasn't personal, just business... Well then why weren't you able to treat as such in Green Bay?

There is a lot of division here in green Bay. Ted Thompson has been vilified. I don't care for the guy, but he did what he had to do as the GM of the franchise. You are either a Green Bay Packers fan or a Brett Favre fan. I was a Packers fan long before Brett Favre came to town and will continue to be a fan of my hometown team until I die. As for Favre, he will regret this mistake and I just hope he doesn't get hurt. When I was a wee lad, Bart Starr quarterbacked this team, retired and was replaced by Scott Hunter. He had my child-like support and I was awed to meet him and get his autograph at a Father/son pancake and porkies breakfast. I missed Bart Starr but knew the Packers had a new quarterback. and so it went on through the years. I am a Packer fan regardless if the quarterback is Jerry Tagge, David Whitehurst, Lynn Dickey, Brett Favre or Aaron Rodgers. The Favre memorabilia will be removed from the Packer shrine and true Packer fans will root for the Packers.

I think when it's all said and done, he will have wished that he had retired as a Packer.  I have no love nor ill wishes for Favre, just a firm belief that there are times that a man does not see the tree from seeing the forest. I can only hope that his body doesn't pay the ultimate price as he will not have the same front line there to protect his backside!

How about this yesterday Westlake Village Christian High School led by Nick Montana (Joe's son) threw for only 7-12 for 132 yards, they beat Bakersfield Christian High led by Derek Carr, younger brother of David Carr flop num#1 draft choice out of of Fresno state, who is now backup to Manning on the Giants.  Carr threw for 227 yards.  The moral of the story Montana touchdowns, touchdowns, and touchdowns he led all the drives, now does that sound familiar...perfect.gif
