Brett Favre continues to make waves this summer, and I am not talking about hanging ten on the beach.Favre, who wants desperatly to be wanted back by the Green Bay Packers, went on Fox's Greta Van Sustrien news show, and admitted that he feels unwelcome by the Packers, and, again, mentioned that he wants his outright release from the club.
Favre was quoted as saying:
‘Well, playing here is not an option, but we can’t envision you playing with another team, you know, either.’ And I thought, so basically, I’m not playing for anyone if I choose to come back.”
So you can tell that Favre thinks that he is a prisoner.
What the Packers need to do is not tell Favre that he will be the backup quaterback, otherwise Packer fans will continue to protest in the parking lot. The Pack should just trade Favre out of the conference, or to a team Green Bay does not play on their schedule.
By making Favre look bad, by not bringing him back as the starter, almost certainly will spell the end for coach Mike McCarthy and GM Ted Thompson. If they trade him, the Packers can say that they had no choice, but to make Favre happy, by trading him to a team that needs his services.
The Packers are right to feel that they should move on; they built in an offensive scheme that fits the needs of Aaron Rodgers, and doing a sudden about face in favor of pleasing Favre and a few druken fans is ridiculous! Eventually Green Bay fans are going to have to accept that Brett Favre can no longer play with the Packers; and more importantly, Favre has to realize this as well.
