Brett Favre, perhaps the most celebrated player in Packers history, is no longer a Packer after the team traded him to the Jets late Wednesday.

Now that the controversy is over, who was more at fault — Favre for undoing his plan to retire, or the Packers, if you believe they pressured him to retire in the first place? I saw one bit of news that apparently the Packers didn’t think Favre could lead them to the Super Bowl (as if Aaron Rogers can) after he stunk in last year’s NFC championship. Perhaps the whole mess was as much about GM Ted Thompson’s ego as Favre’s.

There is now even more pressure on Rodgers to fill Favre’s shoes. There is pressure on the Packers, whose management were content to let Favre go but will face criticism all season if the team struggles. There is pressure on Favre to show he can win with another team. This whole mess might turn out badly for everyone involved.
