Favre's latest comments about Rodgers (1 Viewer)

[Mr. Know-It-All]

It wasn't that bad except the line 'he just fell into a good situation'.

I don't even think that was bad because I do remember Favre talking about how talented that team was in his last year.

He said something similar in 09 with his Vikings team. Yes it was a slight in my opinion. But lets not kid ourselves, Favre is short on class. I just wish he would shut up and go ride his tractor.

I couldn't agree more and find it perplexing that more people don't see this as Favre taking a shot at ARod.

What the heck does this have to do with ARod? He plays baseball for the Yankees. Wrong forum.

[Mr.Pack]

Farve is one of those guys who really misses the game, and really does not know what to do with himself out side the game.Right now Favre is looking for anyway to be relevent again. Money does not make up for the rush you get from playing and having the media chase you all over.

I think this is spot on.

 

[pollardsvision]

It is pretty funny that some people seriously think the difficulty of winning a SB has somehow been lost on Favre.

Because that's the only way it makes sense for someone to fail to see the backhand in the "compliment".

Some nicknames are great - borrowing already established nicknames is not so great. Especially when said borrowed nickname comes from a pariah of the baseball world.

I think football fans that don't care about boring sports get to use whatever nicknames they want.

used to see brettman and mark chmura out in milwaukee back in the day its not the game he misses its the fame and the abilty to rake women if you think im wrong just look at how he ended his carreer trying to score women half his age texting around pictures of his dong and we all know he did it hiting on massagers and continuing to blow it on the field at critical times

he doesnt miss the game he misses the fame

its pretty sad because at one time i thought the world of him but when you try to run around on your wife who is a peach wile she is recovering from breast cancer you are a cancer and dont deserve much in the way of sympathy

and one more thing at one time there were barns way outside of green bay in the big whiskey I would see making runs and they said things like "in our hearts 4 evers" but now thats been painted over and says '12 is 4 times number 3" and thats is DAMN RIGHT BABAY

Strange thing is, when Brett was taking his time deciding whether or not to play one season (contingent on his wife's cancer outcome), he was being called out by Packer fans for "waffling" and holding the team hostage. Now the same fans are ripping him for not caring for his wife. As others have said, Favre bashers will find any reason to rip him to shreds.

 

[SWC]

no i dont find any reason to rip him to shreds he was honestly a bad guy to his wife and crapped all over the packers and its not unreasonable for anyone to hold that against him and i do

you cannot hold yourself out as the face of a franchise the way he did pretend you are bigger then the franchise and run around on your wife and then stil think gee whiz im the pants man so everyone will still love me wrangler style

once you try to assume those roles and positions in the state lore and then take a gigantic duece on them you cant go back

if a boyfriend did the same crap to your sister mostof us would hold it against the guy if a hometown qb did the same thing to our be true to your school most of us would hold it against them

but hey, some people find any reason to defend favre

 

[todisco1]

I don't think it's a huge deal, but Brett is giving backhanded compliments, there's no two ways about it. Saying he was "surprised it took so long" for Rodgers to succeed is a dig. But again, it's not that big a deal really, I don't think Rodgers cares, so whatev.

That's a good point, because no one ever publicly claims or appears to be acting out of concern for his wife but is privately screwing around on her.signed, John Edwards

Good point. To bad the waffling I speak of took place many years before he is accused of screwing around.Favre is making his bed and has to sleep in it. But the Favre bashers have become more of a joke than Brett ever was (and that is pretty damn tough to do).

Well...a few things.First off...the waffling each year was not all about her cancer. It was not a one time thing.Second...as for when the screwing around happened...if you think the Sterger and Jets issue was the first time, you might want to read up. (thats not Favre hating or bashing, its the truth).

Andrew Brandt (former Packer exec...then Eagle exec...now creator/writer for National Football Post)

As I've said, not the angel he was made to be in GB; not the devil he's been made to be since.

Good quote and perspective from him.

I find myself agreeing with conflicting perspectives in this thread. This seems to sum it up best for me.

 

[griff321]

I think it's becoming quite clear that the Packers should have let Favre go a lot sooner than they did. He held back the guy that could deliver a championship and Favre's antics of refusing to go to training camp, always wanting more money, refusing to help the talented underling held the team hostage for years. People are also forgetting how bad the offensive line was when Rodgers became the starting QB. Despite everything Favre did to screw the Packers up, him leaving was the catalyst for the Packers to reunite under a true leader to becoming the great team they are now. Favre in his prime couldn't have won with the injury-riddled team that Rodgers had at the end of last year. Rodgers is too classy a guy, but I would love for him to say it like it really is. "We learned how to win again when we rid the team of the cancer that was Brett Favre"

Cmon..

Really!? Take a look at the Green Bay Packers from 1968 to '92. Favre happened and that franchise has been a tough team. He turned the culture around in that town. Rodgers is a great QB, and we'll never know how great he would have been if he was thrown to the wolves instead. I don't think he ever makes it the way he used to take a ton of sacks holding the ball too long.

Sorry, you're wrong. What turned the culture around was the signing of Reggie White. That single move, an elite free agent selecting Green Bay, was a signal that things had changed there. It led to the signing of guys like Santana Dotson, Keith Jackson, and many others. How quickly we forgot how loaded those teams were when Favre was around. The franchise was indeed transformed; but it was done by more than just having Favre around.

I think White elevated them to a Superbowl, but Favre turned that team around. In '92 before White arrived Favre led that team to it's first 6 game winning streak since 1965. Fking '65!? He gave that town hope and paved the road for the next season. I can't believe I'm even arguing with Packer fans about this lol.

I think the culture may have been turned around just a bit by Mike Holmgren, Steve Marriucci, Andy Reid, Jon Gruden, Marty Mornigweg, Mike Sherman, **** Jauron, and Ray Rhodes.

Without question you're right. It takes an entire team to turn around a franchise like GB was for many years.I still feel like in any situation like that QB play is so essential that without Favre it never happens. I'm not sure that Ty Detmer would have done it.(Don was benched so he's out)

Favre was a huge part of it...no doubt about it.Wolf was the real key...bringing in Holmgren...Favre...Reggie, and then adding other key pieces when needed.

True! One season he actually waffled until a week before the Super Bowl. Held the team hostage an entire 3 weeks after the regular season before stating his intentions.Guess I do need to read up. I had never heard he might have been screwing around on Deanna until the Jet's issue came up. You may have to post a link to those revelations that I missed during his Green Bay tenure since you must have heard about it years before it came out in public.

I don't recall him ever waiting 3 weeks after the regular season? Do you mean after the start of the league year/free agency?As for screwing around on Deanna...it was well known in Wisconsin that he and Chmura would go out quite a bit and Brett was a bit of a filanderer. Deanna threatened to leave him.I believe it was even in her book...though, most searches just turn up that she thought about leaving him because of drinking. But there were many stories about him stepping out on here early in his career (some before they were officially married).

 

[SWC]

him and chewey were regularly in milwauke eon water and at taylors flannerys etc. looking and hooking up but go ahead and say it didnt happen because there isnt a google link

why defend a cheater there is no honor it in underachievers

 

[sho nuff]

And to add...Im not bashing the guy alone for that...he is by far not the only player stepping out.

Just bringing up that by many accounts, the Sterger thing was not the first issue questioning his fidelity.

January 2003..before the NFL season was even over with.Point being in all this is that Favre is Favre. Everything he ever does/has done is scrutinized to the hilt. He is his own worst enemy and deserves alot of the criticism he receives. BUT...in most cases (this latest bit is a classic example) it is blown WAY out of proportion. I will not defend him in cases where he deserves criticism, but most of his bashers come up with just laughable reasons to be critical.

Sorry...read that wrong.Was thinking you meant 3 weeks after the regular season began.3 weeks after the season finished is not all that bad IMO.I never felt like he held the team hostage anyway.

People are also forgetting how bad the offensive line was when Rodgers became the starting QB. Despite everything Favre did to screw the Packers up, him leaving was the catalyst for the Packers to reunite under a true leader to becoming the great team they are now. Favre in his prime couldn't have won with the injury-riddled team that Rodgers had at the end of last year. Rodgers is too classy a guy, but I would love for him to say it like it really is. "We learned how to win again when we rid the team of the cancer that was Brett Favre"

I don't agree.

him and chewey were regularly in milwauke eon water and at taylors flannerys etc. looking and hooking up but go ahead and say it didnt happen because there isnt a google link why defend a cheater there is no honor it in underachievers

Favre was often seen heading into bathrooms with chicks in Green Bay clubs while his buddies (usually offensive lineman) would stand guard at the door. The guy always has been a pig. But we looked past it for years because we thought he was a big kid at heart, and because he generally threw more touchdowns than interceptions.But now we know what he was about.I still intend to boo my #### off when they finally enshrine him at Lambeau. I don't care how much tickets cost for whatever game that will be. Probably not for a few more years, though. Possibly longer if he keeps doing radio shows. LOL

I think your monikor shows everyone that you are incapable of a rational thought on this subject.

Or... You could assume that since I've been on this train quite awhile already, perhaps I'm the foremost expert?

My take on this is that Favre started out with the intent to give some praise to Rodgers. However, I think his own pride and anomosity with the Packer orginization came out as he continued to speak.

Reading between the lines I get:

A. Only reason I did not win the Super Bowl my last year in Green Bay is because the guys araound me were too inexperienced.

B. If the Pakers kept me, I would have won a Super Bowl with them sooner than Rodgers did.

The problems with those statements is he seems to be giving himself a pass for not winning the Super Bowl his final year in Green Bay because of inexperience around him, but does not give Rodgers any time to gain experience himself. And then there is his comments upon arriving in Minn that this is the best talented team I have ever been on....so why no Super Bowl there?

It wasn't that bad except the line 'he just fell into a good situation'.

Favre's right. The Packers went to the NFC title game and nearly the Super Bowl the year before Rodgers took over. I don't know how many first-year starting QBs inherit a near Super Bowl team. There's nothing about these comments that should get anyone bent out of shape. But because Favre said them and because they're about Rodgers people are going to get all worked up over nothing and create a story where there isn't one.

Whether Favre is right or wrong isn't the point. It's no different than a QB in the post game presser #####ing about poor o-line play. He may be right, but he's not under any obligation to say it. If he says it, it's because he wants it heard. That's the point. Favre volunteered his insight into how quickly Rodgers should have taken the team to the playoffs. He did so because he had a motive. Are we still thinking he's this aw shucks naive country boy who was just guilelessly speaking his mind when asked a question? Comeon.

It's the same thing with Eli Manning in his post-game presser. He makes sure he puts in there that his last INT was a tipped ball. He's not a 20-something INT guy right? He's just as good as Rodgers, Brees and Brady remember. Defensiveness. That's Eli's baggage. People think he's not as good as his brother and he's taken quite a bit of heat for his INT's lately. So it bleeds out into his public comments.

So what we have here is Favre taking a shot at his replacement when it wasn't necessary...unless he thinks he still has to beat the drum on how he was done wrong by Green Bay. If you don't think he wasn't burned up when Rodgers led them to the Super Bowl and Green Bay put Rodgers up on the pedestal he used to own, you're crazy. He could have been classy and said "No, I wasn't surprised. Aaron is a talented guy." But instead, he had to toss in there the only negative thing he could find.

This. "The biggest surprise to me would be that he didn't do it sooner"Packers success is what Favre is referring to because we know he's not talking about Rodger's stat production since taking over. And based off of going 6-10 and knocked out as a wild card after inheriting the team, I don't see anything controversial about his statements.

I'm not going to say those who think Favre was intentionally dissing Rodgers are dumb....

I'm guessing Brett is LHAO right about now. He seems to be petty like that.
