Packers..Brett Favre???

I hope Favre comes back.. I would hate to see him leave the game with the worst season ever as his last. Get the man a healthy team and a line to protect him and Favre will do what he does best..... THROW THE HAIL MARYS that no one can touch. And the Viks and the Bears can cry all the way home!

Being born and raised in Wisconsin, I am a lifetime Packers fan. I appreciate what Brett has done for the Packers' but if he wasn't so stuck on himself thinking that he is what makes or breaks the team (a team is strongest when there is unity), then I believe that he could help the "rebuilding" Packers. They (the Packers) need to rely on each others strengths and pull together as a whole to accomplish going all the way to the superbowl and not rely on the abilities (or seemingly declining abilities) of one man. One man is weak even at his best. If Brett used his God given abilities to glorify God, there is no telling what heights he could have risen to. If the Packers look to Brett as the center of their "rebuilding process" and put the weight on his shoulders with the problems already in his life, then I think we're in for a long season, but if the Packers can get Bret to be a part of the Packers as a whole , then I think we'll have a winning combination.

Brett Favre..at home, mid November. Its going to be about 43 as a high temp and snowing..I know this isnt much to bank on but the man is spectacular at home in cold weather.\n\nThe Jags are ranked in the top 5 vs the pass, the Pats are ranked 22nd. \n\nFavre has thrown 7 TDS and 2 INTS the past 5 games. Thats a  3.5:1 TD:INT ratio.\nEli has thrown 6 TDS and 6 INTS the past 5 games. Thats a sub par 1:1 TD:INT ratio.\n\nPlus, GB will throw the ball a lot more than the Giants will...so Favre has more opportunity. And with Greg Jennings and Donald Driver catching the ball...I'll take that.

As far fetched as it may sound....it is indeed possible...just unlikely is all.  Their next 2 games are against the Pats and the Seahawks.  If they manage to win one of those...the schedule get's a bit easier the rest of the way.  Games against the Vikes, Niners, Jets, and Lions are all winnable games.  The final game against the Bears is a game in which the Bears could be sitting a majority of their starters if they have home field advantage wrapped up.  \n\nSo yeah....9-7 is not as far fetched as some people may think.  But....with such a young team...it may be hard for the Packers to put together a solid stretch over the final 7 games.  A slip up against one of the teams that they have a chance at beating...is probably likely (as we saw against Buffalo 2 weeks ago).  \n\nIMO...the packers are still a year away from being a serious playoff contender (and then only if Favre returns for another season).

I think he should return.\n\nLook, last season he didnt have Ahman Green, or Javon Walker which were a major part of his offensive sheme 2 years ago. He is still one the best QB's ever and a without a doubt first ballot HOFer.  Brett Favre could still be an efficient passer given the right personel around him.When teams know you are gonna throw every play because you have no other choice (due to lack of a good running game) then of course they can run more Dime and Nickel packages at you. I believe Brett Favre has done enough for GB that he can reitre when he damn well pleases. I am not a GB fan, in fact I hate the Packers, but I repect Brett Favre and whatever dicision he makes is probably for the best.

I think so, their schedule doesn't look that difficult this year and I don't think Rodgers is ready, and am not sure he will even be a good pro QB, all the other Jeff Tedford QBs have not performed up to expectations (Boller, Harrington).  The new guys on the offensive line have now had a full year with the team, and the odds of them losing as many RBs and WRs to injury as last year are slim to none.  Favre wants to go out a winner, not with the worst season of his career.  I wouldn't be suprised if he cut back on some of his high risk throws this year.

I don't think so.  A lot of experts are questioning why Green Bay is not preparing for the next quarterback.  Favre is obviously past his prime, and I don't think they see Aaron Rodgers as the next Favre. Instead of letting Brett get destroyed each week, they should have started looking for their next long term QB. Then you take this year (and last year) and use Favre to train him.  It's like they are going through a rebuilding year, but they are not actually doing any rebuilding.

Both...Favre deserves one last hurrah, but they desperately need to begin the rebuilding process.  The last few years, they have added some players to the team that could be there for the next decade and beyond(through the draft).  This should be Favre's last year...then hand the team over to Rodgers for him to take to the big game 5 years from now.\n\nBy the way....soccerboy....soccer sucks and I would rather watch my lawn grow.  What a lame, boring sport.

Brett Favre. Give him an actual team of NFL players and not JV players and he will statistically be better than all of those fools.

I'm thinking a 10-6 is needed for wildcard in the NFC...the Packers have a super SUPER easy schedule...and 9-7 is not too far fetched if their defense can show up every once in a while...I just don't think they can make the playoffs...however it would be fun to see Favre in the playoffs for his last season eh?

The Green Bay Packer suffered a lot last year with injuries to Javon Walker, Terrence Murphy, Ahman Green, Davenport, and Tony Fisher. With all those injuries to key players, unknown players got the chance to step up and lead the team. \n\nThe Packers defense last year did a brilliant job of stopping the run, but lacked depth in the secondary. The Packers just recently acquired safety Marquand Manuel from the NFC Champion Seahawks. His youth combined with experience is just what the Packers need to liven up their secondary.\n\nThe Packers also sured up their defense by picking up DT Ryan Pickett. The combination of Kampman (who the Packers resigned), KGB, and Pickett is what is going to win games for the Packers. IF that trio get on a hot streak the opponents offensive line is going to have a tough time preventing sacks and starting a run game. \n\nThe Packers also re-signed key members to the offense by extending the contracts of Green and Kevin Barry. Even though the Packers lost kicker Ryan Longwell, I expect them to pick up Adam Vinatieri to establish an even better special teams.\n\nWith the 5th pick in the draft and a still lengthy free agency period, the Packers should be able to compete for the NFC North title. Mark my Words, If Favre comes back to play one more year the Packers will go 11-5.

Brett at 50 is still going to be one of the best in the game. They guy should stay as long as he wants. He's a three time MVP, a leader, and a football player until he dies. His arm is sharp, his mental awareness is still good. He just needs a line and a supportive running game. Look at John Elway, as his career got longer they took a lot of the pressure off of Elway by giving  him a great running game. That is not happening for Brett, he's still carrying the entire team. He's a little past his prime to be carrying a bunch of lazy players. And on top of it all his line is lucky to give him 2-3 seconds in the pocket. He's almost running like David Carr is in Houston. And his running game is just horrible! With a better team around him, Brett will be back, if not I'm sure he'll retire. But like I said, he's still one of the best in the game. Just like Junior Seau, Mark Brunell, and Orlando Pace. Old men who just have football in their blood - they are all still great, just a bit past their prime.

Even though I'm a bears fan, I think the Packers are a pretty good team.  There problem extends to last year when they put together a new offensive line.  That caused major problems for a stellar run-team and also problems for Brett Favre.  I was excited to see the bears pound on Brett Favre, the person responsible for giving me headaches season after season. \n\nTo answer your question though, the packers are probably getting more experienced working to together and I'm actually noticing that Brett is playing a lot like his old self.  Packers won't be a contender and it's probably time for Brett to retire, but they are still an ok team.

Brett Favre...only one of the best QBs ever and his personality, love for the game, and family history make him a fan favorite who can easily be related to.

An accidental error, I'm sure.  I'm a Browns fan and my girlfriend is a Packers fan, so believe me, there's no confusion in THIS house who he plays for.  lol
