Commanders Post at The Warpath - View Single Post - Favre seeks release from Packers (updated)

The Packers handled this well until they told him (supposedly) they don't want him in camp. If they let him report as 2nd string qb & didn't say anything else, they could still gracefully bench Rodgers if by the end of camp they thought Farve had earned the job back. Or they could just see how he likes being 2nd string.

IMO the latter would've been the smart thing to do, even if it puts pressure on rodgers. I keep forgetting that this team went to the nfc championship last year. You'd think they'd want their vet qb back to get them to the super bowl. This was personal from the get go, they were tired of being jerked around by Farve for 3 years, now they're returning the favor. But the way they've acted this week, they're starting to make it an even bigger problem for the team than it was at the start.
