First of all, no-one ever forced to him to retire - it was purely his decision. If he hadn't retired it wouldn’t have been as if they wouldn't have played him. Green Bay knows what Favre has done for that franchise. But at the end of the day, FAVRE was the one who decided to call it quits, and IMO, when you say you're done, you should never show up again. Don't say you're gone and then play with everyone's minds about if and buts and put Rodgers under pressure. You know, none of this is helping Rodgers. He's trying to get geared up to be the new face of the packers, you think it helps to have Brett on his back and in the media about wanting to come back?

They have a guy in place who can ultimately become a top QB in the league. He has the potential. Sure, he is millions and billions away from Favre right now, no question. But Favre himself didn't become what he is now overnight. No QB did.

If Rodgers never gets the chance, how will anyone know what he could've been capable of? They drafted him, and with Favre out the equation, why shouldn't he get a chance to lead that offense for the next decade? He certainly has the weapons around him.

As far as I can see, this Favre charade is not a help for Rodgers by any stretch of the imagination. I said it before, Brett has made his decision. I don't think he should be the one who gets to decide if he wants to come back; it should be Green Bay. The Packers organization should tell him, you've made your decision Brett, and we're moving on without you. Aaron Rodgers is our future.

Otherwise, what in the world is the point of "retiring"? You might as well "retire" after every season and come back again.
