Brett v2.0

$20 million bucks to stay home instead of come to work?

Earth to Brett, "Take the bloody $$$!"

Sounds like a duh thing, I know, but here's something even duhier, if you ask me anyway. Packer management is making a mistake. What they should do is invite Favre back and start him in the upcoming season. Yes yes I know, management has already committed to starting Aaron Rogers and investing in him for the long haul. But so what? Favre changed his mind. Packer management should do the same. Why? Because the decision will be an instant hit with the fans, and no team in the NFL enjoys more fan involvement than the Packers. Isn't fan support correlated with the Packer's performance? Packer management will subsequently be cheered, and ever more so if Brett v2.0 'n Co. bring home the Lombardi trophy this year, something Aaron Rogers, despite expectations, is unlikely to do. Plus they only have to pay Favre $12 million. A savings of $8 million!!

The only loser so far as I can tell is Aaron Rogers. Everyone else concerned wins. On purely utilitarian grounds, I say it's the way to go.
