The Packers have made it pretty clear that they don’t want Brett Favre back as their quarterback, but Mike McCarthy reiterated that sentiment in a recent press conference [video].
I’ve said over and over that I don’t really understand why the organization has been so reluctant to bring back Brett Favre as their starting quarterback. The guy can still play and he gives them the best chance to win.
More importantly, I haven’t heard McCarthy or GM Ted Thompson speak to that topic. I am still waiting for someone to ask one (or both) of them, “Doesn’t Brett Favre give the Packers the best chance to win?” We’d probably get some sort of “I don’t deal in hypotheticals” kind of an answer, but at least it would have been asked.
I never thought Favre would end up playing for another team, but it’s looking like a strong possibility right now. The pundits have moved on from the “Favre should quarterback the Packers” talk, and are now asking the question, “which team is the best fit for a Favre trade?”
As a Packer fan, this is a sad state of affairs.
