The correct answer to this question is.....


NOTHING!!!!

Talk about some thread jackage.

No kidding. Let's get back to the discussion of Packers over Bears, or sex, or whatever this thread was originally intended to be about!

Aaron is batting .500, 4 good games, 4 bad games since game footage has become available of him. The offense was still extremely vanilla, but they established a strong running game which allowed for Aaron to be moderately effective.

Kudos to the running game. Where has that been all year?

yes, by all means take out the 2 awesome games to start the year.

How about this...when aaron actually gets to practice all week and study the game plan he has played very well everytime. You forget all the practices he missed with the bum shoulder.

That is certainly something to consider.

The only thing better than beating the Bears is as you said, kicking their asses. I especially like how this was Grant's first big game for the year and we ran all over their defense. Hopefully this can continue on through the rest of the season!

And for the record, I think Favre was every bit good enough to win the SB with the Packers last year and is every bit good enough to win the SB with the Jets this year. He's more than good enough. He's a great player.

However, I believe the defense last year was not good enough (post JOlly/KGB injury) and the OL/Running game was not good enough. It's team games and team wins IMO.

I think the same thing this year. I think Favre is better than Rodgers. I think he does some sublte things to help the offense like not screw up his cadence when he's confused (causing false starts) or set protections or recognize exotic blitzes and beat them. Favre is a hell of a savvy player at this point in his career and can still chuck the ball as hard as all but a few NFL QB's.

That said, Rodgers is doing more than managing the game. He's playing really good football. Not too many QB's are playing up to his level. He's a quick learner and seems to be developing savvy quickly. When we get into these conversations, Rodgers gets unfairly compared to a fairytale legend that has been exaggerated through the years and then FAvre gets torched by the same fairy tale. It's just skewed beyond reason at this point. It's to the point that some Packer fans that love Favre cannot give Rodgers credit for his probowl level season.

You are very wise. However, I believe that it is TT hatred, that drives this unfair comparison because by saying that Rodgers does well you then have to admit that maybe TT made the right decision. ITs unfortuante, but I think ARod is handling it just fine.
