Young CJ,
I commend you on a such a riveting blog post on what YOU think Mr. Favre should do.
I'm gonna play a game, my name is Ted Thompson, I am the general manager of the Green Bay Packers. Basically I decided who plays for the team and who doesn't. Winning is not the only thing it is everything, and for those that don't believe it, the great Sean Carter once said,
"Nice guys finish last with their special set of rules."
I have a business to run and that is to put the best players on a team that give this team the best chance to win. Who gives the Packers a better chance to win....Aaron "I've never played a full season Rodgers" or Brett "Dan Marino secretly hates me" Favre. No one said being the GM of one of the greatest sports franchises of all-time was going to be easy. I already dropped the ball once when I froze and gave Brett the cold shoulder while I was on vacation, which I basically used as a stall tactic to get my thoughts in order. Brett had one of the single greatest seasons of his career, led us to within one game of the Super Bowl, therefore why in the world wouldn't I welcome him back with open arms as the STARTING quarterback of the Green Bay Packers.
Okay, so he retired. The man has a right to change his mind like a woman has the right to make a man wait 45 minutes after the first time she said she was ready to leave the house. Bottom line is Brett gives your team a better chance of winning NOW than Aaron Rodgers does.
Young Clayborne brought up the point of Brett Favre's woeful season two years ago. It was woeful because Brett Favre has guts. Guts to risk it all to win it all. How much help did he have, none. Inexperienced wide receivers, an inconsistent running game, and a defense that ranked 25th in ppg in 2006. 2007 rolls around, defense improved, receivers, have confidence and lookie here, Brett Favre had one of his best seasons.
The Packers haven't won a Super bowl in 11 years. Titletown USA you say? Win now Brett Favre. Win later....MAYBE, Aaron Rodgers, because they didn't draft Brian Brohm for nothing.
Leave comments.....holla at me.....
