This has nothing to do with Favre. It's just nice to see some of the comments from his teammates.
“I’m very happy for him,’’ said Donald Driver. “That was the big thing with him, he wanted to come out there and play. He wanted to prove it to the world. And I said, ‘What better place to prove to the world that you can start to be one of the greatest quarterbacks than on Monday Night Football.’ And he when out and did that.’’
“Aaron’s a natural born leader,’’ said center Jason Spitz. “He always commanded respect in the huddle, just by the way he executed the offense.’’
“I don’t think he could have handled this whole situation better,’’ said Korey Hall. “You can’t imagine the amount of pressure he has on his shoulders right now. He went out and he was collected and calm; he made good decisions and I think he won the respect of a lot of people. I think more people have faith in him now.’’
“I’ve said this all along, he understands what life is about,” Aaron Kampman said. “I think he understands that he plays for a bigger purpose than himself. I think he understands he has something special inside of him.”
“What you guys don’t know about Aaron, he has a lot of confidence in himself,” Nick Barnett said. “That’s what you need, especially at that position and what he went through. He’s got that confidence and composure. Everybody in this locker room had faith in him.”
"People need to get behind him," tackle Chad Clifton said. "He's a good football player. You would have thought he was a 10-year veteran tonight. Very calm, very collected. Played an outstanding game."
"We've always been confident (in Rodgers)," veteran right tackle Mark Tauscher said. "The great thing about it is he's going to stay even-keeled, (even if) people are going to be patting him on the back. He realizes that each week you have to perform. I'm sure we're all going to enjoy this, but we'll move on to the next week, and we have to go do it again."
Tauscher, among several admiring teammates, called Rodgers' coming-out performance "spectacular."
"He came out with a lot of people kind of judging how he was going to do, but he came out and played like we expected him to play," Tauscher said. "I think that's what he expected of himself, and that kind of exudes through to everybody else. Guys have a lot of confidence in him."

"It was Mr. Rodgers' neighborhood officially when we started training camp," Packers receiver Greg Jennings said in hindsight after the game Monday.
"He's young, he's excited, he's fired up to be out there," Packers guard Darren Colledge said. "It's not old hat for him. He's just excited to get out and play football, and you can see that.
"He's pure energy inside the huddle, and he's positive about everything. He thinks we can convert on any situation. That's the kind of guy you want in there."
