A fans' plea to Favre, Cheeseheads...

The following is a letter that I will send to Brett Favre:

Dear Brett,

I understand when you say that you have "itch" to play again. However, my friend, you did retire and the team has made preparations without you. You had your hay day. With a tumultuous start with a trade with the Falcons, you arrived in Green Bay. It was one hell of a ride. It's just time to stay down. For the past 4 seasons, we've gone through this song and dance about retirement and leaving football. It's been the calling cry for you to try and get agents of change. However, you're probably realizing now, that the team is going to go on without you.
Many sports writers and others are clamoring for your return, and states that the Packers would be crazy to not take you back. Let me, as a fan, make a clinical judgment though. Brett, you've always been a double edged sword. You've gunned the pigskin down field like a cannon. However, for every 80 yard pass in the closing minutes of the game. There are 2 to 3 interceptions thrown in the closing minutes of a game. You've gotten us 1 Superbowl in your tenure. However, it's time for a change. We need to see what 20 to 30 yard short passes do, with a high completion percentage. The days of the gun slinging are over. We've got a young team, and they're hungry. It's the re-invention of the team in the early 90's. So, Brett, please stay down. You've got a bunch of old people, who are fans of yours, who are scared of change. Take one for the team, and just stay down bud.

Dear Packers Fans,

It's time for you to just put up, or shut up. It's time to test young quarterbacks. We've got a chance that the couple we've got are no good. There's a chance that they are very good. However, it's better to find out in the next year or two, than to drag it out. Look at the Bears. They've got one of the worst quarterbacks in the league, and he's still "their guy". We need to get our guy for the next 10 years. The Pack traditionally don't spend a ton of money on the team, so we're not going to be signing any high profile free agents.
Don't hold out for Brett to come back. Let's be honest, it's been a fun ride, but it hasn't been the most productive outing. Brett holds the record for touchdowns and interceptions. That's just how it goes. He threw as many INT's as touchdowns some games. Even more in some games. For Brett to be effective, we really needed to spend a ton of money on some Receivers, something the Pack hasn't done for years.
So, Packers Fan, stay down. Don't be angry at Rodgers. He needs some time to get in the role, and he might not be half bad. We're gonna lose some games. Deal with it. We could always take the route that the Bears do and just say, "If we don't do anything this season, we'll beat the Bears." I know that line of thinking is extremely retarded, but we gotta do it if needs be. So, suck it up, and let's just get through this process of finding a new QB. It might end up being better than the headache that Brett would give us.
