Will not make the critical mental mistake that loses you a game. Calm in tense game situations. Demanding of those around him, just as he is demanding of himself. Rodgers seems to be the same type of gentleman that Starr is.

    For me, a football fan and Packer fan who witnessed the Packer dynasty of the 1960's it is the a biggest compliment I can think of.
    From comments he makes, it seems Rodgers strives to be what Starr was to the Packers.

    And if Magic Johnson is looking for a Packer who reminds him of himself, that might be Charles Woodson - who could play multiple different positions and roles, including the leadership role to take a team to a championship - in college and in the Pros.
