If they let Favre come back, they 1) Lose Rodgers mentally forever, 2) Allow Favre to be bigger than the team , 3) Change the direction of the offense and everything that was installed for Rodgers...he's a totally different QB than Favre..mobile, conservative, etc.
Favre isn't going to be on the bench..he will take his $25 Million and walk or accept a trade. But why isn't anyone slamming him for refusing to play for the two teams that want him...Jets and Bucs? I thought he "just wanted to play football"??? Guess not..
I am soooooo sick of his posturing and whining...The Packers as an organization are totally getting f*cked by him and at this point it's a business decision, nothing else

They are built to win now. Maybe they can do with Rodgers, but you saw how far they got with Brett last year ( I understand that they were a very good overall team and it was not just Brett). The Vikings still don't have a QB, the Bears offense is still in shambles and then you have the Lions. So they should still win the division (probably with Rodgers too). But in the NFL it is all about now. Would you sacrafice Rodgers for a trip to the Super Bowl this year? Farve is already bigger than the team, despite what everyone wants to believe. Am I saying that is right, no. But lets call a spade a spade here. And the team already knows the offense that took them to the NFC title game last year, so how hard can it be to reinstall it after what 1 week of camp? Farve has definatley tarnished his legacy a bit with this crap that he has pulled. But, if he had a news conference today saying he was sorry for what he did. Admiting that he never wanted to play in Minnesota (which would probably be a lie). And wanting to finish what they came so close to doing last year. You would have to be crazy not to take him back. As far as Rodgers goes, lets just say Brian Bhrom was very highly touted in college.
