- B/R Ticket Guide
I'm still banging my head about the Brett trade to the Jets. It is hard to see him in a Jets uniform. I am glad that he is playing and he looks happy. The Jets are a good team, with Brett, they will be better. His presents will help sell tickets and boost the vigor of the team. Maybe they will give that division a run for their money this year. I'm happy for the Jets hopeful fans. It still amazes me on how the bridge from the GB front office to Brett could become so engulfed in flames to where there was no way to mend it. Now I know that it is a two way street, both sides stood their ground on what they believed. So Brett wasn't given the great welcome back the last couple of years and that will hurt his pride a bit. That should not have been the case. However, I do understand how that could make you tired. Brett was not physically tired he was mentally tired. I think the boys in the front office are going to pay dearly for the unthinkable decisions that they have made. There should not have been a rush to get Rodgers in so fast. So what if Aaron Rodgers only has this year on his contract. He does not have the durability of half of the QBs in the NFL. It sure looked like GB was a quarterback away from getting to a Superbowl after Brett retired from GB. How could that front office up there justify letting him go to another team. "He didn't have the right mind set to play for the Green Bay Packers?" I have a few colorful words I would like to say about that, you can imagine. I don't think it would have hurt Rodgers that bad. Besides, maybe he could have had a big ring on his finger before he even made a start in the NFL. I guess we will never know. Politics, they run every thing these days it seems. Unfortunately we are probably more captivated by our star quarterback leaving than who is going to run the country farther into the ground. It is going to be an interesting year in Green Bay for the Packers.

Have to ask what about this situation makes you say they rushed Rodgers in? Was it that he's spent three years riding the bench for the Packers? Or was it that he's always been told he'll get his chance but not untill Bretts gone.
Then Brett leaves, after jerking the organization around for three years, he finishes his year takes a few months then anounces his retirement. And I couldn't have been happier for him. The guy had one of the best seasons of his career, especially sweet considering the abismal play he'd been going through for the last few years, but the man leaves on top and leaves with my respect.
Then whats he do, he takes all those new found good feelings i had for them and he spit on them in the way he handled coming back to the league. What makes it really frustrating is that in all honesty he's not even all that good. Don't get me wrong he's a lock for a hall of famer, and he will forever be considered by many, even outside of wisconsin, as one of the best qbs the league has seen.
But he's not that great, he's a gunslinger. Last season was truly a result of coaching not of his skill. Mccarthy kept him on a short leash made sure he played conservativly, and the results were amazing and everyone saw it. But then in the playoffs a game away from a super bowl what does Favre do? He goes back to being a gunslinger and plays his team out of the game.
Theres a part of me that hopes Favre goes the way of Culpepper and fizzles into the qb no one wants. To Favre or not to Favre, the answers easy... get him away from me
