OFFICIAL Favre/Rodgers Comparison Thread

[pbmax]

You are both right and the only way to avoid those threads (and save Mad some bandwidth charges) would be for one of them to have the good sense to get hurt early. Any takers?

An another note I'd rather not compare them in here because I don't have a lot of faith posters will keep it civil without getting in each other's faces and a bunch of "I told you so's" through the whole season.........I guess it's expected though

Yeah, I'm afraid a good portion of the threads this season (whether we're great or not, and whether ARod is great or not) are going to make this a pretty unpleasant place to be, overall, unless a miracle happens or there's some major uptick in aggressive moderation.

Brett's 38, didn't really work out hard this off season and is in a new offense. He does have 17 years of experience and still has a great arm to go with his football knowledge.



Aaron is a 24 year old man in his prime that spent the last few months getting himself in the best shape of his life. He's been in the same system for his third year now and is said to have a very good grasp of both the offense he is running and of NFL defenses. He may or may not last the season. He may or may not have any pocket presence. He may or may not be able to just let it fly on game day. He's really a big unknown but is as prepared as any first year starter can be and is going to give his best shot. He also has the luxury of some pretty great weapons.



Really, at the end of the day we probably lost one year of Brett. Maybe Aaron will play well. Maybe he won't, but it's not like we gave up a HOFer in his prime with 10 years to play and a history of winning championships. We gave up a waffling 38 year old that still has some left in the tank but is getting closer and closer to the age where guys just can't do it any more. Oh yeah, and a guy who didn't commit to the offseason program and set a bad example for a team that is trying to instill good offseason work ethic.

Arod- may, or may not be a virgin

Favre has flopped repeatedly in the playoffs. Arod hasn't.

he made it there

Excuse me, but arod was on last year's team. So, therefore he made the playoffs as well.

[RashanGary]

Arod's a Packer

Brett isn't

Thats a good analysis of the situation. I have to say I agree.

If Aaron Rodgers falters this year, gets injured, misses the playoffs you can forget him ever being a high caliber QB, at least not in Green Bay.

Simply, if Favre excels in New York and Rodgers and the Packers fail, the Packer franchise will be turned on its head. People will completely lose faith with the front office and coaching staff. Their will be no light at the end of tunnel.

Favre hell he has already had a season where he has thrown over twenty INTs, he really has nothing to fear if he flops in NY, not that the man has ever feared anything on a football field but still his legacy is already sealed after 2007.

I think the fact that people actually think this (and that enough other people think in such a way that other people thinking this aren't completely off their rockers) is the reason this place (and other Packer discussion forums) aren't likely to be pleasant places to be over the next few years.

Alot of people I talk to also feel this way. If this season falters and we don't make the playoffs, management will have to deal with the public lynch mob .

I agree with this as well, I don't think its right, but it is the reality of what will happen.

This is one time where the liberal hopes management hires some pinkerton agents to club the mob. And, a few cops shooting them wouldnt' hurt either.

These past 16 years have been the most consistent of any time in Green Bay. Sure the 60s had a hell of a lot more championships but they couldn't maintain. The Packers have had one losing season in 16 years, and all but one of those seasons was salary cap free. It has been an amazing run, but now the last piece of the beginning of the dynasty is gone. For some I don't think they realize this.

Could this be the continuation of the same dynasty, or a brand new one? Well for some their is a lot of fear that the glory of the Packers under Brett Favre, Reggie White, Mike Holmgren, Ron Wolf, Ahman Green, and many more is more over than continuing. One last nail in the coffin.
