(can't believe I'm going to defend him...)
yeah, the coverage was a bit much, but is that Brett's fault? did he ask for a helicopter to film him getting off his plane?
Chris Carter had a good point today. "us older players don't retire because we can't play the game, we retire because we don't want to do training camp anymore" going on to say that if someone offered him 10-15mil a year and he could skip most of training camp he might still be playing and same with a lot of older players.
The issue with Brett is not just does he take off most of training camp after telling EVERYONE he wouldn't play again, the reports from NYJ is even during the season he 1/2 practiced, skipped film sessions and didn't try to mentor anyone... which goes back to Rodgers when someone asked him about mentoring him and he responded "it's not my job to coach" or something to that effect.
So yeah, I'm sick of him, my issue isn't what he's doing but how he's doing it.
He's a gun slinger without the good gun he had, will he take the time to "learn the system" in Minnesota or will he just be throwing the ball away in key situations as usual... time will tell, he's in a good situation if he can pull it off.
