Make no mistake, Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre still thinks the Packers made a mistake by drafting quarterback Jordan Love.
At the same time, he can acknowledge that the Packers did the right thing by drafting Aaron Rodgers when he was still there, and enough time has passed for him to admit he could have handled it better.
During an interview with ESPN Wisconsin, Favre said then-Packers General Manager Ted Thompson did the right thing in 2005 by picking his eventual replacement, and that he wished he hadn’t announced his retirement in March 2008, setting the stage for his messy departure.
