Am hoping that he's average to good this year and then has a great second season as a starter. I see Grant getting a lot of TD's if we address the o-line or if it improves from within.

Big balls there. Gonna have to remember this thread.Quote:

30. He's gonna bust out like Dolly Parton.
20 seems about right to me...neither Driver or Jennings are big red zone threats, and Rodgers won't be threading the needle 6-8 times a year like Favre did.
I would expect Rodgers to get some decent yardage and a few TDs on the ground though. The naked bootleg in goalline situations will be much more available now.
He broke his foot, and played the rest of the game with it broken, he then strained his hamstring, and he most likely could have played the following week but was held out because his playing wasn't crucial. It would have been the week that he hurt it if Favre couldn't have gone.Quote:

Well, that's not entirely true, according to this excerpt from KFFL:Quote:

I agree with the rest of your post though
[quote="BF4MVP"]Actually he had a partially torn ACL at Cal..But I agree with the rest of your post.[/quoteQuote:

Well, it was surgically repaired before the '04 season which means that his big seasons at Cal came AFTER the surgery..It's not a problem anymore.
30 plus.....the Packers and Rogers will surprise again this year.
After Rogers and the receivers get the timing stuff down in the camps and pre-season they will light it up.
Look out!
24-30. I think he can throw 30 +.
If Thomps can improve the "D' mainly in the secondary I see no reason the Pack won't be back in the N.F.C championship game.
If the weather is ideal in the last part of the year, meaning unseasonably high temps then I think 30+ TDs is possible if Brett Favre was the QB, but most likely Rodgers will not in 2008, regardless of the temp. I think the Packers will be more conservative inside the 10 yard line and in goal line situations.
If Rodgers takes care of the ball and keeps his picks to a minimun, later season, Mac might let it fly in the red zone.
I'm the only one that went with 0-9????
How can he throw more than 10 TD's in one game??? He'll suffer a high ankle sprain getting out of the shower after the first game.
Don't see him being able to take the pounding.
True. If he's injured how can he succeed.Quote:

Thats what am saying, it's not going to happen. Favre played lights out last year and he only got 28. No way does Rodgers get more than 20 IMO in his first season starting.Quote:

Leaper and Wist most be to of the most optimistic fellas around on Aaron Rodgers and life after Favre.
Leaper lept. Got mad at Favre for his reason of retirement, and now poo-poos Aaron Rodgers. Gonna be good season for you two.
I'm not poo-pooing Rodgers. I'm just pointing out that it seems rather over-the-top to suggest he will do BETTER as a first-time starter than Favre did during his HOF career.Quote:
