Sane Advice for the Green Bay Packers

As today's King Kaufman column at Salon.com suggests, perhaps its time to break Brett Favre's consecutive starting streak to allow him time to adequately heal from his encounters with the Dallas Cowboys defense, last night.

It won't happen of course. But it does make some sense.

I'm as rabid a GBP fan as the next Wisconsonite, but perhaps the TEAM would better positioned 5 weeks from now, if Brett were allowed to heal and Aaron Rogers allowed to gain some playing experience.

In this smoke and mirrors season, where some way, somehow, the Packers have rolled up an impressive 10-2 record, the youngest team in the NFL has been playing above expectations - buoyed by a defense that is proving itself one of the best in the league and supported by a young receiving corps and a new running back that from time to time, show signs of brilliance.

I thought that last night was a pretty impressive show by Aaron Rogers. Perhaps we should give Brett a well deserved couple of weeks off and start thinking about getting everyone healthy for the playoffs.
