——————————————————————————————————————————————— umm didn’t favre retire and then come back to force the packers to make a tough decision? and if we had kept him, we would’ve watched him throw that terrible pick against the saints in our uniform again. see most of favres playoff loss’s (rams, giants, philly) to name a few. favre turned on us because of the size of his ego. if driver chose to go to the vikings than so be it. i hope the best for him but i hope they can keep him. btw i’m sure the vikings will try to get him if he’s available because the viking’s can’t scout players for crap.

For the record….watching the dongslinger throw that pick against the Saints in the NFC Championship game was almost as exhilerating as watching Gary Anderson miss that FG against the Falcons in theirs. Almost.

Ah yes, that interception was the BEST of Favre’s career! I couldn’t have been happier!
And the beating he took, that was just gravy!

toolkien…killer work and spot on.

I still have a Favre auto’d jersey hanging in my office. Loved the guy. Still respect his time here until he turned into the diva egomaniac and put himself above all others.

I love DD, one of my favorite Packers but keeping him right now isn’t what is best for the team.

My hope is DD is offered a marketing role and a way to stay with the team after his playing days.

Plus, he’s already offered to take a pay cut to stay – so the 2.6M is irrelevant.

Plus, plus – who says he wouldn’t play special teams?

New teammate Matt Kalil, who scored 14 on the Wonderlic, thought that AD was closer to “75-45″.

Spot on!

—————————————

Did Packer Nation do that to Ryan Longwell? To Darren Sharper? No. The Reason? They didn’t treat the Packers like a semi-retirement hobby shop for five years. They, nor Driver, had spent the last five years issuing dictations to the team about who should be re-signed, or who should be retained as coach (because they didn’t want to have to learn a new playbook), or try and broker free agent deals for the GM to rubber stamp, or finally feel that they should have draft sign off after they retire.

You see, so many people remain IGNORANT of just what a throbbing hemorrhoid Favre was the last three years with the team. They haven’t spent three nights on Greta throwing the team under the bus, whining about what liars the Packers management are and have it all boil down pretty much to not being able to be the de facto GM of the team.

Favre didn’t really want to do the things it would take to be the best QB he could be. He was “tired” and the “down time was painful”. He just wanted to show up on Sundays and see what might happen, stuff the team – from the front office on down – with his buddies.

When you show me that Longwell, Sharper, or Driver have done ANY of these things, then you might have a point about Packer Nation.

The long and the short of it is Favre burned his legacy, no one took it from him, and his behavior BEFORE signing with the Vikings wore out his welcome for many Packer fans. I’m not saying there weren’t many Packer fans just as ignorant of Favre’s behavior the three years prior to retirement, and who let just the Viking signing alter their point of view, but they certainly aren’t the entire population. I’d say the majority of those who wish to have nothing to do with Favre now base their attitude on Favre’s acting as if he was above the team instead of beholden to it for making him who he was.

he will always hold a special place in all Packer fans’s hearts. Go Pack Go!

Realistically, the Pack has 2 wr’s on the practice squad whom they drafted in 2011 who can play anywhere in the NFL now. The only reason they were able to keep them is that they are being oaid as if they were on the 53, not the PS.

They also drafted and signed as free agents 3 promising wr’s this year.

DD may be invited to camp, but he won’t make the final cut. Better for him if they cut him loose now.

Remember they have all-pros Jennings and Nelson, exciting Randall Cobb, TE Finley, who plays and lines up as a wr and dependable James Jones. They’re one of the best the best receiving groups in the league.

It’ll be decided once camp starts…

If DD is clearly better than the practise squad players, he’ll stay.

If they’re equal, he’ll may be gone.

But the question I have is… If they release him, how much of that 2.6 mill will count against the cap. (Assuming he doesn’t get picked up elsewhere.)

If you’re going to have to pay the guy anyway.. and he’s able to play, might as well keep him and play him.

And let’s be honest.. the bottom 1/3 of the roster gets swapped out almost every year anyway. If the guy is that low on the totem poll, likely as not, there some other guy on the street that could take his place.
