Brett Favre coming to play another year would NOT be a good thing for the Packers.

Aaron Rodgers has ridden the bench for two years to watch his hero win game after game for the Packers. Now after learning what is needed to be learned to be effective in the NFL Aaron needs some playing time.

Now one can guess that Favre will be out of shape, drinking all of the beer he wants, eating those Porterhouse steaks and finally spending the much needed time with his kids and wife, he will probably be out of shape. Getting back into shape will be a problem, although he never was "in" shape.

It is time to pass the torch on to Aaron Rodgers. Favre had a good run, time to leave it alone. Packers don't need Favre to be as dominant as they were last year. They have a leader in Rodgers.

Also, why would it be in Packers best interest to spend alot of money on Favre only to be disappointed yet again.

Packers, you don't want Favre back, you don't need him. The only reason to keep him around is for the fans, but when do fans win football games?

My intent was not to insult Brett, I was making a point that he retired, I'm sure he isn't spending nearly enough time in the weight room. I was stating that he is probably not in the shape he was last year when he is playing.

Rodgers was a great QB in college. He poised all of the threats that Favre does. He can throw very well, he is about as mobile at Brett, and now it is all about decision making. Only time helps that.

If the Packers want him back, they will spend a lot of money that they need to keep for the next years to bring in some more play makers.

Granted, Favre did retire at the best of his game, but remember when Michael Jordan retired at the best of his game, and he came back to do what? Nothing.

Once a star retires, they lose most of their explosiveness they once had.

Favre has done it all, he's not needed anymore in Green Bay. Time to let the cleats collect dust my friend.

I don't understand your argument. Very unstructured.

The fans. Real Packers will go to the games no matter who is behind center.

The playoff hopes. The playoffs hopes will be there. Packers has had good coaching for a while, they will be fine without Favre and his big fat contract, maybe better, because they can get another player in the roster that will help them.

The vikes. The Vikes are a good team, but one player won't change the outcome of beating the Vikings.

Rodgers has watched his champion for four years, he has learned all of the things he needs to get the job done.
