Rodgers first year starting >>>> Favre's first year starting.
Really? They went 9-7. Get back to me when that happens.
They went 9-7. You're right. THEY. THE TEAM.
Favre? He threw 13, interceptions. 24 a year later.
Dumb fuck.
Whats the montra? Just win baby. Rodgers isn't favre. Favre is not Rodgers. You can't compare how they play, as they play the position completely differently, especially young in their careers. Favre didn't even know what the heck a nickle defense was at that age.
Yet, Favre kept winning. Leading comeback win after comeback win, and bringing excitement to watching GB football again. It is about the W's, not the stats.

They are both 3-3 thru their first 6 games of their career.
Favre is playing well - no doubt. But Rodgers is also playing very well, and has kept pace enough that Ted must be pretty secure in his decision at this point.
I don't think Ted is insecure with any decision he makes. Just like Col Jessup from "A Few Good Man", he made a command decision and thats the end of it.
so your telling me theres a chance we can get rid of TT then? awesome! haha dont take it too hard, it was merely a joke
Well, TT wil die one day so he won't be the Packers GM forever. Nice try, you fail(again).

So, thats tied.
Tie breaker = Stats.
Which goes to Rodgers.
Time for bed.
Haha. You realize they started their careers also in two completely different eras. Favre was in the era when hitting the QB late, or really hitting the QB at all (such as nailing him as hard you can, helemt, arm, etc.) was allowed. ANd boy, did BRett get hit.
AR started in the era where hitting QB's draws penalties. Lots of them. Usually considered the Peyton Manning rule, because manning only really excelled after that rule was put into play.

Well, it's true. Favre and Rodgers started in two completely different eras in football history. A lot of today's QB's might not be able to make it back then. Could rodgers? Don't know.
Their records are the same through the first 6 games of their first season starting true, but favre also plays what was it, 3/4 a season prior to his first season as a starter?

theres no use in comparing the two.. theres a very slim chance Rodgers could even come close to what Brett has accomplished in his career and still is doing... but that doesnt mean Rodgers cant be one hell of a QB too...
Honestly, Favre has had a HOF career. He's one of the all time greats. It's not fair to Rodgers to compare him to Brett and at this point it's insulting to Brett to compare him to any QB with less than 3 probowls and a SB win and even that would be a stretch.
To Rodgers credit, he's playing great. To Favre's credit, so is he. This team has a very bright future that looks brighter with every drop back from our 24 year old quarterback. We have some work to do on the DL and OL. We have to continue locking up or core before their UFA years. Things should only get better for thsi team and for Rodgers as he gains experience. Life is good as a Packer fan. The fighting and comparisons are getting very old. Favre fans are pissed off abotu how it went down. TT fans are pissed off at how it went down. Really though, it's over. It's worked out pretty well for the Packers and pretty well for Brett too. I think that jet team is pretty good (defense, offense and ST's). In the down AFC, he has a chance to win a SB (and fetch us a 1st round pick). Life is good for everyone here.

Yes, they do get old. My main concern for the packers if if a new deal doesn't get struck between the NFL and the players association, there will no longer be a cap. That being the case, it's going to be hard to keep players in GB.

a guy like Jerry Jones will ruin the NFL and make it real hard for the packers

A team in ANY big market area is going to ruin it for the packers. NY teams, NE, etc. Just look at baseball to get the picture of what areas for football teams are going to start drawing in the most money to pay people.
It's not just jerry jones. Cap has kept teams like the packers able to compete year in and year out in the NFL. It puts everyone on a nice even playing field.
The problem is that the players association wants the players to get payed as much as possible, while the nfl wants it to stay the norm.
I don't forsee an agreement being reached. Either the NFL continues with no Cap, or the nfl forces Cap and normal standards WITHOUT a deal with the players union, and the players union goes on strike.
Wow, just think, something like the movie "the replacements" could actually take place in today's NFL.
"So, what ended Favre's career again? What? A 2 years strike after leading the jets to the playoffs? Greedy bastards."

The TV money coming in will provide a better balance to all NFL franchises compared to the situation in MLB where teams search and locate there own contract or like the Yankees and Boston own there networks. The Packers for the last 15 years have always been in the top 10 in merchandise sales, which might just happen to be the same years Favre was in Green Bay, gee I don't know, but hopefully the trend continues and the Packers can stay ahead in the uncapped market.
The Packers simply don't have the deep pockets of an individual owner like Jones or that Scmuck in Washington in Daniel Snyder, but the Packers should be alright I suppose, players will want the best contract available but they also like going to play for a winner and for franchises that take care of them in other ways. They will also be all right because they have been sound fianacially for a long time.
This is going to affect teams like Jacksonville, Buffalo, and possibly Minnesota before the Packers ever feel the real impact of it.

Packers are technically owned by the people.
Anyways, the packers will feel the effect. TV contracts only go so far - as even the teams in the bigger markets with big pockets have the exact same sort of tv contracts as we would.
Minnesota will feel it too, of course, and we will try to alleviate the pain somehow because we love the packers too much to let greedy teams ruin our hopes... but it will be a vastly different NFL then it is today.
Hopefully, everyone can come to an agreement on a new deal. Cap is one of the best things that has happened to the NFL.
