Should the Redskins take a run at Favre?

Let's not kid ourselves, Favre would give the Packers a shot at the Super Bowl, Rodgers probably won't give them that same shot. Just saying. I'm glad I'm not a Packers fan because I would be very torn on this issue.

Good point, guess I've been focused on what the pack needs to do for its long term future more than just this year, considering the team made it to the nfc championship last year.

Apparently though (at least for now), the Packers & T. Thompson don't agree, since they've told him he's the backup.

That's the rub. Who gives you your best chance to win now? IMO, it's Brett Favre. I don't think the Skins should pursue him, but I think that he should be the Packers starter if he decides he's going to play for them.

A Packer fan called into Sirius and made a good analogy: "If you have a winning ticket and another one that looks like a winner, which one do you play?" I think that pretty much tells the tale in the Favre vs. Rogers debate.

They can say that all they want, I think the Packers are hoping that Favre will stay retire and won't show for camp. There is NO WAY they want him showing up to camp even as the backup. Can you imagine the pressure on Rodgers with Favre looking over his shoulder, the potential divide in the locker room and amongst the fans?? If push comes to shove Favre is going to win this battle.
