swamp dog 0 Posted December 30, 2008 i've given some good-natured shiat to packer fans about favre, but the reality is brett really made it impossible for the packers. how the fock do you retire, then watch your team move on from you and make other plans, and THEN UN-RETIRE? it's like a chick asking for a divorce, getting a divorce, and then showing up on the wedding day of her ex and demanding her ex back. favre focked them over big time. given the circumstances, the packers did the right thing and got what they could. but if i'm a packer fan i'm cheesed at brett big time--not thompson.

donhaas 18 Posted December 30, 2008 The Packers were one foot away from a sweep of your team with Rodgers at the helm.... Packers had some bad luck this year. Only the '84 Browns in the history of the NFL lost more close games. But even if they win all of those games, or half of those games, or two of those games, they still weren't ready and had too many injuries to be successful all the way through the playoffs. The Packers misfortunes this year did allow an awful Minn. team with their awful World League quarterback to sneak into the playoffs.... I guess getting crushed in the first round and really having no quarterback (and therefore no team) for the future is something to crow about if you're a Minnesota fan based upon the limited successes you have had in your team history. Packers made the right move. Favre sucked it up this year; Rodgers lit it up. Favre will continue to get worse; Rodgers will continue to get better. Yes, you'd like to win every single year, but if our second losing season in 19 years prepares us better for the future, so be it.... Looking forward to great drafting position, spending some of that money from being way under the cap, and young players maturing and hopefully winning a handful of those close games lost this year.

Packer fans in this thread are worse than the vikings fan that started it. Or maybe we'll draft another Jennings. What in the world is the point? But if I have to pick, I'd rather pick high then low. Why are Packer fans worse? The point of the thread was completely ludicrious and was debunked. What in my reply was "worse" then the initial post? The initial poster should be thanking the Packer kicker for (one) missing the FG against his team by a foot and then (two) later missing another easy game-winning field goal against the Bears by kicking it low. He should be thanking the Packer special teams for being absolutely horrid. He should be thanking all of the injuries to the Packer defense. He should be thanking the stupid penalities they've been having all year. And finally he should be thanking the Packer defense who gave up about seven last minutes drives to lose games this year. The last person he should be thanking is Rodgers who had an excellent season or for the loss of Favre who choked and was awful in 6 straight games down the stretch for his new team. It was a dumb initial post and now you are dumb, too. DUMB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

listen2me 23 1,779 Posted December 30, 2008 Not that I think Favre would have made much difference in GB. But do people honestly believe he would have played as poor if he was with the same system, players, coaches, and city? A place that he was with for 16 years? He wouldn't have been MVP like, but much better than he was in NY. Still wouldn't have made much difference to GBs record... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

n_omarley 11 Posted December 30, 2008 IMO Brett's lesser years in GB were the result of trying to do too much when the team played poor D and/or had injuries to overcome. in 2007, the team was healthy, the D played well, and Brett stayed within the system and did a great job. On sunday, I watched the jets game. It was like going back in time. Brett was throwing up balls into coverage with the hope that something good happens. Brett is a legend, and an all-time great; but I (and most rational Packer fans) am soooo happy TT pulled off what he did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NewbieJr 541 Posted December 30, 2008 Favre has a lot of similarities to Tony Romo. Both are always looking for the big play, and neither ever put much thought into what is practical and best for teh team at any given moment. Both always think they can do something special and never consider that throwing teh ball out-of-bounds or into teh ground may be the better option. The differences between Favre and romo are that Favre may have double the arm strength of Romo, is ten times tougher, and actually rises to the occasion of big games, rather than wilt away like a scared little girl.

I was about to come after you comparing Romo to Favre, but you cleaned it up nicely. I will add one other note though: Favre has played with only one HoFer in his entire career (I believe). Romo is currently playing with 2 surefire HoFers right now in TO and Witten. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because one player does not win games in the NFL... The player is responsible for contributing to the overall effort (numbers) which Rodgers did much more than his share this year. And yes he was a few yards short of Farve last year, but is that a bad thing? Favre's number's last year were stellar too. And show me the stats were GB's WRs have more YAC then any other team. Every QB has the advantage of their receivers being able to run after the catch. Stop being silly. I have very realistic expectations of the Packers, but I am content with Rodgers at the helm. Their secondaries are much more of a concern then their QB. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The fact that rodgers led the packers to the 6th scoring offense in the league with a ryan grant who started the year slow due to a banged up hammy(the reason the running game struggled), shows how solid of a QB he is.

n_omarley 11 Posted December 31, 2008 B$, by your continued and unwavering rationale, Joe Flacco is one of the best QBs in the league, and Chad Pennington is possibly the greatest of all time football is a team sport. Rodgers played better that Favre this year. They are fortunate to have a top 10 qb who will be dedicated to preparing for 2009, rather than a guy who will try to jerk the team around for the next half-year, only to throw as many or more picks than TDs. I too love Brett for what he has done in the past, but come back to reality. or, am I wasting my breath, and it's true that the Pack isn't even your true team?

swamp dog 0 Posted December 31, 2008 Because one player does not win games in the NFL... not always true. elway back in the 80s single-handedly carried the broncos to super bowl appearances they had no business being in other than spectators. true, the broncos finally won the super bowl late in his career when they did become a complete team...but elway took the broncos in his early days several levels higher than they would have gotten without him. marino also did it to a lesser extent. rodgers isn't that type of qb. he's a good qb who needs a cast around him and needs to stay within himself and not fock up (which is the story for most qbs). but he won't "carry" the packers like favre did in his hey day.

Do you not remember 2 years ago when he played as poor with the same system, team, and city? He played in NY like he has played at times before.

I'm not trying to be a ######, but Driver is a vet who has been to the Pro Bowl and back. If you think Coles AND Cotchery are better than Driver than I don't know what to say. I would say Jennings and Driver are both better than Coles and Cotchery. While the Packers have 3 more quality WRs behind them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
