ESPN - Favre delays arrival to Packers camp at GM's request - NFL

I would love to see the Packers let him compete for his job. The best QB should be the starter right? I think the QB that gives you the best chance to win a superbowl should be the starter so let them compete... I don't understand why they're so sure of a QB who gets hurt when he plays half a game, when they have a great QB who just had such a wonderful year. I guess i'm just not too excited about having a QB who gets hurt so easily after going 16 years with the "Iron Man" Favre

I think the reason they aren't letting Favre compete is because the already told Rogers he is the man. They had a plan laid down to move on without Favre, because they thought he was retired. Clearly they are ready to begin the post-Favre era.
