All good points. The thing is- we know what we know from the media. Who know what was/is said behind closed doors between the two parties. It's a fact that Favre wants to play.

The Packers have to ask themselves, "who at QB gives them the best chance of winning THIS year?" If they think it's Rogers, trade or release Favre. If they think it's Favre, welcome him back with open arms. If they're not sure, have them battle it out in camp and pre-season.

Sure coaches and GMs WANT to build for the future, but they NEED to win to be around to see it.

I guess it's easy to sit in judgement from the safety of the distance the keyboard provides from the playing field. Have you ever been to a Packer game at Lambeau? I don't get your whole Newt thing, perhaps you should take Analogy 101 at the local County College and try again. As for Barkely, Unitas, Montana and Mays they all have one thing in common. The Hall of Fame. I've already forgotten your name and I just read your pathetic drivel. Remember the 70's and early 80's in Green Bay? I do. Favre put this team back with that arm and that iron will of his. He has no match. Who was #1 last year? Oh yeah, Tom Brady....remember him?

Keep hiding behind your keyboard while Brett guts it out on the field. If you get a wireless keyboard you can sit even farther away. Favre's decision to play, Packer management's decision where....simple.

Was is it that people who are not Packer fans seem to be the only real voice of what Brett Favre does. Let me see, hmmm. One responder said that he has been retiring and un-retiring for the past few years. NOT TRUE, the local and regional media has been hounding him the moment the season has ended the last 3-4 yrs. At the end of the 2006 season was the ONLY time Brett took his sweet time to deside if he wanted to come back. Find the facts before you past judgement on a hall of fame player. As I recall I don't see Packer fans riping on most other teams outside of their division. If you don't believe so check our local paper and see if any Texas teams get bashed, look in our archives.

sports fan.............not a person who jumps on a bashing bandwagon.

BRETT FARVE IS OVERRATED.
there i typed it. Dude roughly throws as many ints and tds over his last 5 seasons. He is the reason the Packers get knocked out of playoff games. His 'f' it i'm chucking it up style of qb play is not much to marvel at. Yes he makes some plays but turns the ball over too much due to his uncanny ability to find open defensive backs on opposing teams.

you can not watch a game he is in because
you have to hear 12 times about how much he 'loves this game' or 'look how much fun he is having'. children love to draw, it does not mean they are good at it. i have been waiting for the day when he would leave the game and i pray that day has come. or if not i expect to see another Vinny Testaverde like 20 td 24 int season.

Brett Farve is a joy to watch play football. Yes, he loves the game and because he is having so much fun it is infectious when you watch him! How could anyone not want the chance to see him play another season? The Packer organization is being foolish not to allow him that opportunity after all he has contributed to the team and the fans. When he announced his retirement so quickly I personally wished he had given himself the time to recover from the mental exhaustion he was experiencing before making his announcement. Wanting to return to the game was inevitable because he still has what it takes to win a Super Bowl. After braking one record after the other, week after week during the season, it's just a shame that he and the Packers weren't able to make it to the Super Bowl because there would have been no stopping them. It would have been the perfect conclusion to his career.
