Unretirement

Poor Aaron Rodgers. HE has waited three years for this opportunity and then it was handed to him very easily. But lo and behold Brett Favre wants to UN-retire. Can you do that? Of course. Many high profile athletes have done that. But Rodgers will be under tremendous pressure to guide this young, talented team towards the Super Bowl.
Honestly, I don’t think anything changes with Rodgers or Ryan Grant or Donald Driver or anyone else in this offense. If anything, Greg Jennings has been downgraded slightly because people believe that Rodgers won’t throw the long ball as often as Favre did last year. But the wideouts said that Rodgers’ arm was stronger in mini-camp than at any point last year and some even said his arm is as strong as Favre’s. I don’t believe that, but this is obviously his team going forward and we’ll see if he can handle the pressure and can stay healthy. Project a season of 3.000+ yards and 18-20 TDs if he can stay healthy for 16 games
Look for Favre to end up in Tampa Bay where coach Jon Gruden has Jeff Garcia. Garcia is unhappy with his contract. Gruden loves to collect old QB’s.
Where do you think he will go? Will he stay retired?








Seriously.. This guy needs to go away. He’s a legend - yes. But you retired and just deal with that. The first year is hard - than it’s easier i’m sure.
