[QUOTE="_Kramer_"][QUOTE="yamabushi98"][QUOTE="Toucanbird"]I don't understand how you could say something like that.
If you really look at things, Brett Favre is still a very good QB. You can't blame him for losing the game against Pittsburg when they had a chance to come back but a ball goes through Donald Drivers hands and it gets intercepted. You can't blame Favre for that.
Why does everyone say he's washed up? I would like to see how Tom Brady goes without his top 4 receivers and top 2 running backs and try to get his offense motivated.
Favre's been forced to try to make plays simply for the fact that he has no talent around him this season. If he had Javon Walker, Robert Ferguson, Terrance Murphy, Ahman Green, and Najeh Davenport, probably the five most skilled players in the Packers offense, they would probably be doing a lot better than what they are.
Should they sit Favre, possibly, but I think he should at least start games and try to play Aaron Rodgers when they are down big time. I think next week will be their best opportunity to try that since they are going to Atlanta. However, Atlanta hasn't exactly been killing opponents this season so I guess we will just have to wait and see what happens.
I think the Packers are just trying to do what the Bengals did with Carsen Palmer. I think it's good that they don't start him right now. It's probably better that they keep working through the NFL system in practice this season and then try him next year. I don't know about the rest of you but Alex Smith is hurt and I haven't heard a whole lot about Jason Campbell this year either.

even if favres the best QB ever, the teams going no where, and its looking more and more apparent he wont be playing next year, and that sit'em on the sideline to learn is a bunch of BS. you can either play, or you cant. you learn by doing. nobody learned to ride a bike by sitting around watching somebody else do it for weeks on end. you got on the bike and you rode it.
A lot of rookie QBs sit on the sidelines for their first year, look at Carson Palmer. And Favre isn't the Packers problem for losing. It's the whole teams fault. Why would the Packers bench the only person that's keeping them in games? Just to give a rookie a couple of more reps? No team plays to lose...:|
Exactly.
That and playing QB in the NFL is a lot harder than learning how to bike. I think that learning how to ride a bike is a lot easier than learning offensive packages, defensive plays, timing, and blitz reads.
"Why would the Packers bench the only person that's keeping them in games? Just to give a rookie a couple of more reps? No team plays to lose...:|" exactly my point, these games are meaningless now, and a rookie needs reps to learn Off packages, + blitz reads, etc. you both made my point for me.
"And Favre isn't the Packers problem for losing. It's the whole teams fault" Come on, 5 ints againest the Bengals? and if he didnt lose the Steelers game,(fumble --> TD, int --> TD) who did?
