So who exactly would Lombardi be starting? Rogers? Drew Stanton?

The packers would be better off to fill other needs this offseason, then see what they can find in next year's FA/draft.

That is the big question. I don't think he would be playing anyone they have now. Or the back up. But I do know that if Farve played like he did this year and Lombardi was the coach Farve wouldn't be playing. Under Lombardi you played well or didn't play at all.

Why exactly would the preference be to be led by an untested QB (in GB or in NFL game play) when you have a leader who is the heart of this franchise? Especially when any significant diminishment of skills is highly debatable?

With Favre back, Pack won't spend wildly

CHRIS JENKINS

Associated Press

GREEN BAY, Wis. - With quarterback Brett Favre committed to another season in Green Bay and the Packers' salary cap situation in good shape, it must be time to go out and sign free-agent playmakers to make one last playoff charge.
Right, Ted Thompson?
"Whoever the quarterback is, whether it's Brett or whoever it might be, we're going to try to get better," the Packers general manager said. "And if we can do that in free agency, we'll do that. And we'll try to do that. It doesn't always work out. It takes two to tango."

Brett Favre has minor ankle surgery

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -- Packers quarterback Brett Favre had minor ankle surgery Monday and is expected to recover in time for offseason workouts.

Favre, who plans to return for his 17th NFL season, has been bothered for several years by a buildup of bone spurs in his left ankle. He kept putting off the procedure, and skipped out on a previously scheduled surgery Jan. 1.

Sounds like he said he wanted out, but has since changed his mind...

Report: Favre's agent requested trade after NFL draft


MILWAUKEE (AP) -- The Green Bay Packers left Brett Favre fuming when they didn't pull off a trade for wide receiver Randy Moss during the NFL draft. But was the three-time MVP angry enough to ask his way out of Green Bay? Amid public grousing from Favre about the state of his team over the weekend, a report on the Fox Sports Web site, citing anonymous sources, said Favre's agent called Packers general manager Ted Thompson to request a trade a few days after last month's draft.

According to the report, Packers coach Mike McCarthy later called the quarterback and was able to calm his anger, getting Favre to admit that he didn't really want to play elsewhere....

Favre asked for trade after draft

Jay Glazer / FOXSports.com
Posted: 8 hours ago

 Incensed that his team did not acquire wide receiver Randy Moss as he wanted, Brett Favre asked Green Bay to trade him, several Packers and league sources have told FOXSports.com.

Just two or three days after last month's NFL Draft, Favre's agent Bus Cook phoned Green Bay's general manager Ted Thompson and asked that his client be traded, the sources said. In the conversation, Cook railed off on how his client was fed up with the organization and wanted out.

 The trade request was relayed to head coach Mike McCarthy, who immediately phoned the Super Bowl-winning quarterback. However, the quarterback ignored all his calls for a week, letting the request fester and perhaps showing the team how upset he was this time.

 Finally, in the middle of this past week, the two connected. Sources close to the situation said Favre asked McCarthy if he was aware that Cook asked for a trade but McCarthy immediately insisted that would not happen.
