Re: College football fans...any here??
Thread hijack warning!!
Brett & the Packers - the Green Bay area take from one guys view!
HE RETIRED!!
We still love him but HE RETIRED! He left on his own accord & then mere weeks before training camp he decides that the entire team must dump all the redone plans, redone offensive schemes, etc. because he now wants to come back.
Oh, & he wants to start so 3-years-on-the-bench Aaron Rodgers must put his career on hold......again.....so Brett can come back.
This would not have been too much of an issue but he's done this to us for the past 3 or 4 years. Will he, won't he, will he, won't he. Does the coaching staff plan without him or not.
Granted, he had a wonderful season last year but that's only because McCarthy stuck to the west coast offense: short slant passes, draws, screens, throw in a few runs, get the first down.
Everytime Brett threw downfield, at least in the past few years, Packer fans would collectively hold their breath 'cause you knew it would be outstanding or picked-off..........usually picked off.
The man IS one of the all-time greatest quarterbacks & his on-field streak MAY only be matched by Manning (if he's lucky) but after nearly a half decade of this me first syndrome it was time for Brett to either stay retired, take a back-up position or move along.
I wish him well & hope he can take the Jets to somewhere they haven't been in awhile. Just be prepared for him to not be there next year!
IMHO............
