I’ve been a Packer fan since I was 8 years old (circa 1966). I’ve been through the glory years and the “let me hide and suffer in misery” years. As much as it the current situation might be be difficult or uncomfortable due to poor communication, lack of understanding and (gasp) ego – Brett can still play the game, and play it at a level better than most QBs in the game.
Let the man play…

Hi, my name is Jason Whitlock. I'm sure you've heard of me. My reputation in football circles is well established.
I'm the guy who told Bill Belichick to stick with Tom Brady over Drew Bledsoe years ago. When Bill Polian was debating Peyton Manning vs. Ryan Leaf, I was the voice on the phone at 2 a.m. the morning of the draft assuring Polian that Manning was the right choice. I told Parcells to take a long look at an undrafted quarterback from Eastern Illinois.
I know quarterbacks, how they think, what motivates them and whether they're any good.
You're in a jam in Green Bay with Brett Favre. You need me. You need my guidance, my expertise. If you're not careful, you're going to continue to mismanage this situation and go down in history as the dumbest general manager in the history of professional sports.

I knew there was a reason I liked you. I lived in Milwaukee for several years, and you can't live in Wisconsin without getting Packer religion.
Go Pack! And hell, Brett is only a month older than I am. He's not too old. :)

It just gets worse ... ANYONE who lived through the "dark ages" should be willing to cut the guy a break and let him play out his career. If Brett can give two more years, then I would trade Rogers and place bets on Brohm (who strikes me as being more in the Favre mold).Even Flynn might work out.
