Stick with the old standard, Viqueens. ZGYI or whatever, Hey thanks for the help but I was not after a homosexual insult that you infer so you and your boyfriend Bruce can relax about that. I really meant BIQUEENS, as in going both ways, so much easier to get pounded if you don't have any discretion as to who is doing the pounding. I love the way those pretty boys in Purple grab their collective ankles every time the Packers roll into town. They are such good hosts, letting Favre throw his record breaking 421st touchdown in front of that 30th ranked pass defense, makes me think the BIQUEENS are really going to the Superbowl as SI has predicted. Look, if you are going to get insulted everytime someone takes a shot at your team, I would advise turning your attention to women's golf or pro bowling. But if you are going to favor the BIQUEENS, get used to the abuse. My personal favorite is what's the difference between Linda Lovelace and the BIQUEENs, Linda doesn't choke on the big one. If you don't get it, ask your boyfriend, Bruce. zygi milf says: but listen, dude - Biqueens DOES NOT denote the homosexual insult you are going after. Stick with the old standard, Viqueens.

They won't be a Super Bowl team next year with or without Favre. Nobody that has a chance of doing anything next year is going to replace their current QB for Favre. And Favre isn't going to turn a potential playoff team into an instant SB contender. The man had one good year and everybody thinks he's the Favre of 15 years agao again. LOL.

But he would still be considered a top 10 QB. Really. There just aren't very many good QB's in the league right now. KC, Miami, Atlanta, Balt, SF, are the first teams that come to mind. I would think they would all benefit with Farve on the roster. Those teams would probably consider making the post season a success at this point. I still feel Brett will play somewhere warm this season. How about this...Miami sends Jason Taylor, and Ricky Williams to Cincy for Chad Johnson. Miami would also have to give a conditional pick to GB for Farve. Sounds interesting. Matched with Ronnie Brown and a rebuilt O-line, and CJ, Farve may last a few more years. (And I'm a Pats fan.)

GM's, coaches, and other team executives have to make tough decisions every year and unless they're named Matt Millen they are held accountable. This Favre coming back talk reminds me of the TO debacle a few years ago. Dominated the press coverage to the exclusion of other compelling story lines, but the press continued to run with the saga because it had traction. It's easy to report the latest minuscule details of big stories but harder to find new stories that the public will pay for with their eyeballs / interest. It's all a great bore for the craving NFL news fans but understandable for news outlets to continue to propagate the storyline. “If Favre throws for 4,000 yards and takes a team deep into the playoffs while the Packers struggle, it could destroy careers for those who made the decision to cut him loose.”

Well, you don't think that 4th and 26th had something to do with it. Favre played great that game and Favre and the Pack had that game won in regulation, at a place they never won before mind you (and a D-coordinator that has always had Favre's number). They had it won that is until Sherman decided not to go for it on 4th and 1 to seal the victory with the best running Offense the Pack ever had. Then of course the 4th and 26th debacle followed that. What about against the Giants? Well, the Packers got beat in every aspect of that game, including only 13 yards of running support to take the pressure "off" Favre. And lets not forget that this is the same Giants D who made Romo look bad and made Brady look worse then Favre did. Should both of them retire too? Jimmy, Joe Montana was also surrounded by HOF’rs.

If he plays great, Thompson's career. IF he plays terrible, his legacy - which he's already doing as much as possible to mess up.

I visit Packers.com regularly. A website run by the organization. For the last several weeks the picture on the homepage was of the defense, Hawk, Woodson, Barnett, Harris, and Kampman. Now Favre is front and center!!!!!!!!!! This is a recent change is the last few days. This must mean the webmaster for the Packers think Favre is coming back. Come on Florio??!?!? Isn't this article worthy? Hold on one minute there. I visit Packers.com regularly. A website run by the organization.

Counterpoint - if they do bring Favre back and Rodgers gets so pissed off for riding the pin again he vows never to return, then the only salvage can be a Superbowl ring. Otherwise, Favre will "retire" again and a team that could be a perennial (if the coaches believe Rodgers is that good or good enough) contender is no QB-less. Good point.

You can quote me Favre’s HOF stats up and down the line but in the end, its how many playoff games can you win. Joe Montana is a classic example of that. Don’t get me wrong, he was a very good QB but he cemented his legacy in winning 4 Superbowls, not what he did in the regular season games (which wasn’t bad either, but just not off the charts great) IMO, TT looks at this team and asks himself the single question, “How can we go further in the playoffs?” I think he looks at Favre’s recent playoff games (the duck he threw up for grabs in the 4th & 26 playoff loss to Philly and most recently the ill-advised toss to give the Giants a ticket to the Superbowl) and thinks it is time to embark on the Rodger’s era in GB. Not necessarily just because he drafted him, but because Favre’s brain farts in these big games are costing the Packers an entire season. I mean if the guy is going to choke in the big games, maybe sending him to the BIQUEENS is the answer, that’s their long standing tradition and should welcome him with open arms.

It was a "career year" for him, meaning he basically had better stats last year than any of his other 17. Chances are Favre is not going to have the same kind of success this year.
