The Tampa Tribune has reported that the Packers and Buccaneers have a deal in the works that could result in Favre being a Buc as soon as Wednesday.

If the deal is finalized, Favre will likely replace 2007 Pro Bowler Jeff Garcia. Garcia has already been outspoken about his role as the Bucs' starter in terms of Favre rumors, but Buccaneers head coach Jon Gruden loves quarterbacks, and has long been rumored to be drooling over the thought of Favre running his West Coast offense in Tampa Bay. Now it looks like it will actually happen. Ironically, Garcia replaced Favre last year in the Pro Bowl, and now Favre will replace Garcia as the starter in Tampa.

Once Favre is traded, the Aaron Rodgers Era will officially begin in Green Bay. Rodgers was drafted in the first round (24 overall) of the 2005 draft, and has been Favre's backup for his entire 3-year career so far. The Packers players have shown an excellent amount of support for Rodgers, and he has some huge shoes to fill in his first season as the starter.

Now, the natural questions arise:

Does this make the Bucs the favorites in the NFC? Or just the NFC South?
How will Rodgers do as the starter in Green Bay?
Who will win in the week 4 matchup, when the Packers play in Tampa?
How will the Packers' fans react, and how will they treat Rodgers if he starts to struggle?

no way they are the favorites in the NFC, probably not even the South, I still like the Saints to bounce back.

Cowboys still the class of the NFC imo.

So what happens with Jeff Garcia?
Do you guys think he gets traded? Does he stay in Tampa and back Favre up? Is there even a point to backing Favre up?

Garcia has done nothing but win the last few years and could still be a valuable starter in the league. I know 1 NFC North team that could use him...

What do you guys think?

I think he and TO announce they are lovers, and then run off together into the sunset.


Not that there is anything wrong with that of course

Fogell: Seth, Seth, Seth. Listen up, ass-face: every day, hundreds of kids go into the liquor store with fake IDs, and every single one says they're 21. Pssh, how many 21 year olds do you think there are in this town? It's called f*cking strategy, alright?

What ya got something against the blacks ?

the avatar is josh clottey... 2nd highest poy

I have had my share of whities up... farve was one of them laying on the ground after my boys put him out... The first avatar I ever had up when I joined was Pistol Pete for a long while, and also the reason "The G.O.A.T" was originally my tagline... Then someone ( pretty sure it was rjb ) assumed "goat" was there talking about myself... so I decided it may very well be true so why not keep it up

Any other questions ?
