Brett Favre and the Packers

It’s not going unnoticed that Brett Favre and the Green Bay Packers are creating a large drama in the state of Wisconsin. It’s no secret that Favre is not only the icon and hero of many “cheeseheads,” but also a living legend. The Packers are fine if Favre wants to come back, however, they would like him to come back as the number two quarterback.
Favre is seeking a release from the Packers in order to take his game to another team, where he can be the starting QB; not QB2 behind Aaron Rodgers. I doubt that Favre (or any Packer fan) expects Rodgers to complete the entire season as the starting QB, especially if Favre is on the roster.
Maybe the Packers were just calling Favre’s bluff. However, I can’t see #4 on the sideline as a backup. He’s got a couple more good seasons left in that gunslinging arm.
