I think you're right, Thompson and McCarthy definitely wanted to move on without Favre, and start Rodgers, but they don't have that luxury now that Favre is back.
Fan reaction is fairly split... it's hard to gauge accurately. I guess I'd say 60 Favre / 40 Rodgers.

I suspect that if they do release/trade Favre, and Rodgers totally sucks, the fans at Green Bay are going to be super pissed. Oh, how ironic and bitter it would be if Favre propelled the Vikings to a 11-5 season or something, and the Packers went 7-9.
Who knows...the Vikings have a running game with Adrian Peterson. Having veteran gunslinger Favre calling the shots might put them in a position to win some big games.
