$12 million, they have room for it; but that is a lot of $

If they have the room, I would think it would be a no brainer. A guy that you know can get you to the playoffs vs. the great unknown.

Wishy-washy personality aside, he is your best bet to get into the playoffs and possibly make a NYG-like run.

If they had to cut $12 million in contracts, then you would have to assess it a lot closer and probably release him.

No..they're like $25 Million under
Youngest team in the NFL (pretty sure), second youngest with Favre

You are probably right, but then what do you do with A-Rodgers? It is a no win situation for the packers. Do you screw the future and the direction of the franchise for this year and for Farve again? If so, you need to trade Rodgers most likely? If not and Farve goes on to have another great year you look terrible or if Rodgers gets hurt or plays like crap you look horrible. Favre just put the packers in a bad situation by doing this. They have all the room in the world to keep him on the roster it just really screws things up.

Also, in the past Favre made ok wide receivers great, now I think we have a great group of Wide Receivers and they are helping to make Favre look better. If and it is a big if, Rodgers is the real deal and stays healthy you could actually see a better more reliable offense than with Favre.

NFL is a now league, when you have the pieces you have to go for it. Look at the Bears for example, if they had any other QB then Grossman in the Super Bowl, they would have smoked Indy. Hell, if STEVE WALSH was the QB they would have won that game, albeit it would have been close. Look at the Bears now, two years removed, they will struggle to win 8 games, let alone make the playoffs.

I don't think Rodgers is the future. And selecting Brohm in the second round tells me the Packers front office doesn't either.

Bring Favre back, trade Rodgers and hand the team over to Brohm in two years.

This is what happens when you make a God out of a human.



Especially one who throws lots of interceptions....that no one notices.

i don't think favre should take heat for retiring. he obviously felt pressure earlier to decide asap, and i guess he didn't think it thru--we all change our minds at times, and on something this important, i think he should be given a pass.
