Better With Rodgers Than With Favre?

When you can't run the ball and can't stop the run, you don't win. Romo is a better QB than Rodgers right now, but he as great support. That offense is loaded. The Packers' offense didn't look so hot - they got whipped in the trenches - poor blocking in both running and passing games.

Rodgers has now started three games. Not too many guys look as good in their first three starts. he's going to have growing pains. Better sooner than later.[/b]

It's probably a wash. Favre's experience at reading defenses before the snap gives him a mental edge. Rodgers' mobility and arm strength gives him a physical edge.

Favre does not look good to me though. The lack of an intensive training program which he had in previous years may be affecting his play. I fear the chances of Favre finally succumbing to injury is greater than it has ever been.

Regular season - probably Favre untill December. From thereon out it's Rodgers.

Well, When Romo has a bad streak, let me know. He is a guy that gets picked a lot (like favre), yet he has one of the best winning percentages of anyone over the last two seasons.

Here's a little know fact. Rodgers has won just as many playoff games as Romo over the past 2 seasons.

It is a VERY rare occasion that I agree with Texas on anything, but I have to agree with his statement.

Though I will always be grateful for the many contributions and fond memories that Brett Favre brought to the Packers, Aaron Rodgers right now is the better quarterback for the Packers. He is much more mobile both on eluding the Dline and doing rollouts. He is capable to running QB sneaks.

He also does not force the ball into coverage like Favre. His arm right now is as strong as Favre's. Rodgers appears to pass with greater accuracy than Favre does. Overall, he has had a very solid first three starts in his pro career. I am confident he will only improve as the season progresses.

One day after a loss and the focus is shifted off of the Packers and onto a boring and old discussion. You simply cannot compare anything anymore. No one knows how Favre would have been had he been with the Packers and no one can take Favre's performance with the Jet's as a comparison to Rodgers.

Ladies and Gentlemen, it's time to discuss the Packers and cherish watching one of the NFL's all time greats continue his career with another team. It isn't time for kindergarden all over again.

I vote all of the above.

I haven't seen anyone talking about the long td to Austin. I guess this is as good a place as any. It may be in the game thread, but I'm not sifting through that mess. It was a close game at that point, 3rd and 20. I don't know who, but one of our DT smoked Davis I believe and he basically tackled him from behind. Giving Romo enough time to throw. It wasn't even a ticky tack hold, it was an all out tackle. This play turned the game from manageble to a laugher. This pretty much sealed the deal. Greenbay probably still wouldn't have won, but they had no chance after that play.
