Brett Favre is back! What will it do for the Packers, help or hurt them in their chances for the playoffs?

I think he'll do really well. Last year, we didn't have all that much to work with! Everyone was on the injured list, how can you blame him for that? Maybe his interception record isn't all that hot, and maybe he's getting older, but the guy is still on fire and he brings a hell of a lot to the game. I couldn't be prouder to be a Cheesehead and I think that even if we don't make it to or past the play-offs, we'll definitely do much better than our 4-12 last year, no doubt. Bring it on!

I think he should return.\n\nLook, last season he didnt have Ahman Green, or Javon Walker which were a major part of his offensive sheme 2 years ago. He is still one the best QB's ever and a without a doubt first ballot HOFer.  Brett Favre could still be an efficient passer given the right personel around him.When teams know you are gonna throw every play because you have no other choice (due to lack of a good running game) then of course they can run more Dime and Nickel packages at you. I believe Brett Favre has done enough for GB that he can reitre when he damn well pleases. I am not a GB fan, in fact I hate the Packers, but I repect Brett Favre and whatever dicision he makes is probably for the best.

I think so, their schedule doesn't look that difficult this year and I don't think Rodgers is ready, and am not sure he will even be a good pro QB, all the other Jeff Tedford QBs have not performed up to expectations (Boller, Harrington).  The new guys on the offensive line have now had a full year with the team, and the odds of them losing as many RBs and WRs to injury as last year are slim to none.  Favre wants to go out a winner, not with the worst season of his career.  I wouldn't be suprised if he cut back on some of his high risk throws this year.

You always get those butt munches that say Brett must retire.  I am sick to death of it!  He'll retire when he is ready!  You would think these posters on here are fricking coaches who know something, but they are just average morons!  Packers did give it away.  Favre could have been benched in the second half of that game.  But Buffalo, they are 3-5 and going to Indy!  Talk about the one two punch there!  Should be a slaughter.\nI think McCarthy is a good choice and hell, he is human!  People make mistakes and his playcalling, while not perfect-had been good.  I knew going into the damn game the only way we were gonna win was to not turn the damn ball over!

well, they have won 3 of their last four...and only got manhandled vs  Chicago and Philly.\n\nThey lost to the Bills near the end...(down 17-10 on the Bills 2 yard line before turning it over resulting in bills TD)...lost to the Rams by 3, and lost to the Saints by a score.\n\nThis young and inexperienced team wasnt expected to be playing as well as they are. If they stay healthy, keep gelling as a team, and Favre stays...I think they can win 10 games next season.

I think that Favre should retire. He has proven himself to be one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play the game, and the Packers will be rebuilding for the next few years, so it would be best for the organization for Rodgers to step in and begin his reign as Packers QB. Although I think that he should retire, I do expect to see Favre back next season to try and prove that he is better than a 4-12 season.

I despise the entire organization. The players, the coaches, and especially Favre. The only thing worse whan Favre is listening to a semi-retarded packer fan explain why it's ok that Favre throws a pick every two minutes or so. I hate the colors green and yellow, and I feel nauseated when I see those retarded cheese-head hats. The words "Lambeau Field" send an almost uncontrollable rage throughout my body. Last years two wins over the packers means more than winning the NFC North. The last game of the regular season this year is green bay at Chicago. It should be the last year of hillbilly bretts career, and I'd like nothing more than to see him driven into the dirt of Soldiers Field on every play. When the Bears D gets done with him on December 31st, another five month retirement debate won't even be an option.

Of course brett farve is going to stay at Green Bay.\nHe wouldnt leave since he had a bad year he will bounce back and lead the packers to a good winning record(prolly not playoff material) and if he does retire in the next year or two Matt Lienart would  replace him if they pick him for the upcoming season.

Brett wants to go out on top like everyone else.  The Packers have been getting progressively worse over the seasons.  Here lies the problem; if Brett wants to go out on top, that won't be with the Packers.\n\nI think Brett wants to be traded.  I think the Packers wouldn't mind trading him.  The problem is neither side wants to pull the trigger.  If the Packers initiate a trade thay will look incenitive.  After all, next to Vince Lombardi, Bart Starr, and Curly Lambeau who else has epitomized the tru meaning of being a Packer other than Brett.  He brought thr franchise back.\n\nThe other problem with a trade is where would he go?  What playoff contender needs a QB and has the money to sign him for one year (which is all Brett says he wants to play).Few good teams need a QB.  \n\nCinncinnati might need someone if Carson Palmer does not come back quickly, but that is a maybe.\n\nHouston might be an interesting fit, but they still love David Carr.\n\nBaltimore needs a real QB, but for just one year?  And would Brett make them a contender?\n\nI doubt Brett would jump ship to any of the teams in his division.\n\nThe Jets have a chance at either Young or Leinart.  Plus I can't picture Brett in New York.\n\nThe best thing Brett could have done was to retire in January.  If he retires now, then he will be criticized for waiting so long and forcing the Packers to miss out on a number of veteran free agents.\n\nHey, what if the Titans and Packers swap QBs.  McNair is looking for a home and he has a few years left.  Brett could train either Leinart or Young for a season.  A trade that will never happen.\n\nBrett will stay one more year in GB, probably retire and the story will fizzle.  The NFL has scheduled several televised GB games this season highlighting Brett's final season, so I think he will stick around.  If they go 8-8 he will at least be able to save some face.

Green Bay Packers. God bless them, they really need it.

Even though I'm a bears fan, I think the Packers are a pretty good team.  There problem extends to last year when they put together a new offensive line.  That caused major problems for a stellar run-team and also problems for Brett Favre.  I was excited to see the bears pound on Brett Favre, the person responsible for giving me headaches season after season. \n\nTo answer your question though, the packers are probably getting more experienced working to together and I'm actually noticing that Brett is playing a lot like his old self.  Packers won't be a contender and it's probably time for Brett to retire, but they are still an ok team.

I don't think so.  A lot of experts are questioning why Green Bay is not preparing for the next quarterback.  Favre is obviously past his prime, and I don't think they see Aaron Rodgers as the next Favre. Instead of letting Brett get destroyed each week, they should have started looking for their next long term QB. Then you take this year (and last year) and use Favre to train him.  It's like they are going through a rebuilding year, but they are not actually doing any rebuilding.

I love the Packers! Great team!! Now that Mike Sherman is finally gone and they have a new coaching staff I think if they don't make it this year they will next year! The Packers have some of the greatest players but the defense coordinator, Jim Bates, called some stupid plays last year! Now for the new coach and new staff the Packers will do a lot better! Mike McCarthy is the head coach and just because he is the youngest coach and never been a head coach don't under estimate him! Packers will do something this year!!

I am sick and tired of him thinking he's bigger than the organization. He needs to stop being such a cry baby and decide one way or another. He called a press conference about his decision and then said,"I don't know what you're all doin' here, I ain't made my decision yet." \nYour actuall hurting the organization because they don't know who to sign Brett. The Packers don't know whether to sign Kerry Collins or not.  And they don't know how many snaps to give to Aaron Rodgers.  At this point, he purposely hurting the Packers. When this all settles, he will be retired.
