OFFICIAL BRETT THE LIVING LEGEND THREAD

[RashanGary]

Favre is long winded. There are a lot of “uh’s, ah’s, you knows and I’m like’s.” It can get confusing. Each part of his interview, I just took the content. Let me know if you don’t think a part of it is accurate.

“Brett, talk a little bit as far as what was going through your mind when you saw Aaron Rodgers and the Packers go on their Super Bowl run last season.

“I’m going to be quite honest, I was not surprised. The biggest surprise to me would be that he didn’t do it sooner. “

I wasn’t surprised he won. I was surprised he didn’t do it sooner.

Because it’s funny how people forget over time, my last year in Green Bay prior to the first game, really at the start of training camp, I made the remark that this was probably the most talented team I’ve ever played on. And of course everyone kinda looked up and [was] like, ‘You know, this guy’s off his rocker.’ My last year in Green Bay I thought it was the most talented team I’ve played on. our season kind of ended up being a reflection of that. We came close, and I think we took a lot of people by surprise, but we were — you know, guys emerged rather quickly. “

My last year in Green Bay I thought it was the most talented team I’ve played on. Outside of me, we were the youngest team in the league. When we lost, it was a reflection of that youth.

Aaron had a chance, you know, even though the last couple years it’s seemed like he’s almost a rookie, he’s been around for a while. And I’d like to think that, you know, he watched, he learned, and then when he got a chance to play, he brought in his, you know, his ability which obviously is very good or they wouldn’t have drafted him in the first round. “

Aaron took over that team. I’d like to think he watched, learned and then when he got his chance he would show is ability. He ended up playing like a rookie those first two years. Obviously they believed in him or they wouldn’t have drafted him.

He’s got tremendous talent, he’s very bright, and he got a chance to sit and watch and he saw a successful team do it right. And so he just kind of fell into a good situation. On top of that, he’s a good player. I don’t think anyone would question now the talent around him is even better than when I was there. So I’m really surprised that it just kind of took him so long.

He has tremendous talent. He’s very bright. He fell into a good situation. He’s a good player. The talent around him is better than the talent when I was there. I’m surprised it took so long.

And really, the early part of last year season, again it’s surprising to me ’cause I’m like, you know, it just hadn’t quite — it hadn’t clicked yet and I didn’t know if it would. Last year, I just figured when they hit their stride, they’re going to be hard to beat. And that’s what happened.”

Last season I knew they were great. If it started to click I knew they’d be hard to beat and that’s what happened.

Favre Paraphrased: I wasn’t surprised he won. I was surprised he didn’t do it sooner. My last year in Green Bay I thought it was the most talented team I’ve played on. When we lost, it was a reflection of the youth. Aaron took over that team, but with experience. I’d like to think he watched, learned and then when he got his chance he would show is ability. He ended up playing like a rookie those first two years. Obviously they believed in him or they wouldn’t have drafted him. He has tremendous talent. He’s very bright. He fell into a good situation. He’s a good player. The talent around him is better than the talent when I was there. I’m surprised it took him so long. Last season I knew they were great. If it started to click I knew they’d be hard to beat and that’s what happened.
