When Michael Jordan came back out of retirement in 95 he wasn't a bench warmer. Put the 3 time MVP where he belongs, starting QB.

I think Brett should be brought back as starting QB, as he should be, as I've stated before, Everyone has the right to change their mind. As far as Aaron working hard to get here, what has he done, gone to mini camp, whohoo, Brett has done that many times, and no one said he worked hard, the bottom line should be, the Packers want to win, and Bretts the guy with the best chance for that. He is not getting Special Treatment, he has a 2 or 3 year contract left, he deserves the right to honor it, and the Packers should let him do that. This has turned into a Thompson ego trip, it should be all about The Packers Organization and who and how is the best one to get them to the top, nothing else. Rogers waited all this time, hasnt proved a thing yet, one more year or so isnt going to hurt him. We want the Pack to go to the Superbowl, With Brett. Also I think if Brett is brought back, as he should be, he should sign something saying he would play out his entire contract without any more of this retiring BLEEP.
Bring the best man back.....Brett, Do the Right thing for Brett and The Packers.

The Packers management has handled this sad story in an awful manner. From my perspective as a fan and season ticket holder, Brett Favre has been the face of the Green Bay Packers for the past 15+ years. Combined with Coach Holmgren and Ron Wolf, it can be argued that those three were responsible for the resurgence of the Green & Gold. For Favre to have gone from a position of being the best thing since sliced bread as far as quarterbacks are concerned in 2007, to his apparent worthlessness to the organization in 2008 defies logic. It suggests to me that, despite denials, there is and has been another agenda at work in the office of Ted Thompson regarding Favre and the direction of the team. I always thought that this organization had more sense and class than what I have been seeing since Bob Harlan left office and maybe that is the key to all of this, that there just aren't any classy individuals left that are calling the shots over on Lombardi Avenue. Because of the manner in which a true Icon of Green Bay, Brett Favre, is being treated, it is going to be a very long time before I forgive the Packers for what I see them doing.

i love football...expecially the packers. however there would be none of the things the packers have today if it werent for brett favre. he's done so much for this organization and now hearing ted and mike say no to him it painful. they hurried his decision and he said that he would change his mind but didnt say for sure if he would come back. yes aaron rodgers needs his chance to shine but brett is a legend. any fan in the whole NFL knows him. hes a 3 time MVP and has broken every record for passing in the books! how can you say no to BRETT FAVRE??????? We need to bring brett home as our starting QB!!!!
i love brett favre!

OK, so you want Brett back as the starter? I don't dissagree with that. I was as suprised as everybody else when he announced his retirement after the last season. But seriously, how much time do you give him to make up his mind? He retires, then calls to come back. No problem. Everybody agrees to bring him back. Then a couple days later he retires again...final answer. Now after all the OTA's, a total revamping of the offenseive plays, etc, he wants back. Sorry. A lot of time and energy were spent retooling everything for life after Brett. I also find it very telling about what Brett REALLY wants after hearing the interviews. He wanted to wait 'till training camp started to make his decision. Now that all bridges have been burned, he's told that NO further action can be taken one way or another till he files the re-enstatement paperwork with the league. Buss Cook comes out today and says they are not going to file the paperwork anytime soon, because they don't want Brett to pay the fines when he doesn't show up to training camp while he's waiting for his trade. Basically, if he files the paperwork he will be expected to be in training camp. He plans on waiting till camp starts to file the forms! That way he can be reactivated and traded and sent to a new team to start without having to train like the rest of the players! So he wants the glory of Sunday afternoon, but not put in the work?
