It appears ...I think you've just about got it here. It appears that Rodgers' ego is fragile as his body, and if TT is willing to put one player ahead of the team, well....<BR/><BR/>I'd add TT's unspoken desire to call the Packers "his" team as another motivation to shed himself of Favre.<BR/><BR/>Dysfunctional? Whew. How much more "enabling" can the team/TT be than professing to want to protect Favre's legacy, presumably from himself?<BR/><BR/>TT's statements of Saturday last were based on the reality of the day, namely, Favre's retired. However, if/when Goodall makes Favre an active Packer, TT will be dealing with a new reality.<BR/><BR/>Wonder what Wolf, from his new Green Bay home, is thinking? His prize acquistion vs his protege. Has he declined comment or have none of the local media asked?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5328789579487679553.post-45448438053101991782008-07-14T18:19:00.000-05:002008-07-14T18:19:00.000-05:00Great thoughts, rich, and I don't know how much I ...Great thoughts, rich, and I don't know how much I disagree with them. I just wanted to put myself out of the whole "who's getting more of the shaft" way of thinking and boil it down to an objective outsider view.<BR/><BR/>When you do that, no matter how you slice it, it comes down to protecting Aaron Rodgers.<BR/><BR/>I have nothing against the kid. But I will say this...<BR/><BR/>If Thompson is willing to send Favre up the river in favor of Aaron Rodgers, who is putting the pressure on him now?C.D.

Farve has missed most of the off season activities, we don't know what kind of shape he's kept himself in (and the older the player, the more important this is, right?), and he is on record saying that he no longer wants to put 100% into prep.<BR/><BR/>I see the point out of state writers have. But in a way it is trading the future for now. Rodgers has gone through this process to be the quarterback of the future. If Farve returning causes Rodgers to leave, then we are without a quarterback next year (at least then we'll ALL be relieved when Farve changes his mind and comes back).<BR/><BR/>And with all cases of trading the future for now, there are just too many unknowns. Even if Farve plays well, there is no assurance that we get to the Super Bowl. And if Farve doesn't come back, there is no assurance that Rodgers will get us to a Super Bowl even if he plays well for many years.<BR/><BR/>Farve has done a lot for the franchise, but the franchise has done a lot for Farve. The only thing either side owes the other is respect.<BR/><BR/>From what I know of what has happened this summer, the Packers organization has given Farve that respect, but Farve has not given the Packers respect.<BR/><BR/>All of that said, I support whatever the Packers organization decides to do.Rich Beckmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09577609942588267483noreply@blogger.com
