Of course I understand that, but at the same time, trying to discredit everyone else for the fact they did not win, when for YEARS, people tried to blame Favre for the Packers not winning is just hypocritical to me. For years I read how Favre needs to go, he wasn't cutting it, etc., and Favre was on teams that were vastly inferior to the one he turned over to Rodgers. But now, suddenly, people want to blame a crappy team instead of the Quarterback. Why? Because they just have it in their head they Favre was to blame for their problems, and that turned into disdain of Favre, clouding objective opinion. And now that the same exact circumstance has happened when Favre isn't there, suddenly it's the team's fault...not the QB. Favre has proven that he wasn't the problem in Green Bay, with his great play over the last three years (barring the time with injury), but people just can't let go.
As far as the Packers thinking, I can certainly understand that. There were a whole host of things the Packers could have done that would have kept me a Packers fan. But they did none of them. They pressured him into retirement, they tried to pay him to stay away, they wouldn't give him a chance to compete for his job, they wouldn't release him, and they wouldn't trade him to where he wanted to go. And this is for the guy who made them meaningful again, the guy who delivered their first Superbowl in 30 years, the guy who played on absolutely atrocious teams, for which he took the blame for by the fans and the media, and never said a word against the team for their awful mismanagement of personnel. He played for them for 16 years, gave them everything he had, never publicly complained about management, and the Packers basically tried to screw him. THAT'S the part I had a problem with.
People want to talk about how Favre is a traitor, but the Packers were a traitor to him long before he left Green Bay.
