Rodgers = Mr. Consistency

[woodbuck27]

I don't think this is so much a pissing match as admitting the different eras. Gun's got it right, the term 'got his bell rung' has a far different outcome now than it did, even just 10 years ago. Smelling salts are no longer the first thing a trainer pulls out.

Of course, maybe Favre never had a concussion. Ever see the Simpson's episode where Homer decides to start boxing, and it turns out his brain is so small, it doesn't crash into the side of his head?

May I take fr. that that Favre may have a small brain? That may be implied based on a resemblance to Homer Simpson (somehow)? or ... Favre's 'drawl' slow talking manner?

That Favre didn't ever have a concussion. Do you think he escaped such a fate? I don't.

SHIT ! Brett Favre wouldn't have the common sense to complain to the HC or trainers that he was concussed.

Agree or disagree doesn't mean a whole lot to me. I loved Brett Favre behind OUR center.

He'd just puke and put his ass back out on the field to produce points for his team. Alot of you wil recall that game where he got his bell rung and was out for a couple of plays and installed himself into the game and engineered a TD right awa as I re-call it. hat man was out on the field. I believe he was concussed but too much into the game to protect himself. He was Brett Favre. MR. let,s go get em. Mr. Gung Ho !

That's what Brett Favre was all about. He just loved to play football, to compete. Brett Favre was a real DANDY and as a QB for the Green Bay Packers he was way beyond 'just' special. Just the fact he was OUR QB makes him special but the way he was OUR QB. Awesome in the HIGHEST.

Agree or disagree doesn't mean a whole lot to me. I loved Brett Favre behind OUR center.

Now I LOVE Aaron Rodgers behind OUR center.We are Green Bay Packer 'super fans'. We come here to our Packer HOME to celebrate the PACKERS and tlk football and on Romper Roo anything under the sun is so well discussed.

e are one bunch of very fortunate people to have PACKERRATS. So let's celebrate Aaron Rodgers as he's totally awesome. Let's not forget any Packer player, least of all that 'a Legend'; all the positive Brett Favre gave to us, or at least tried to.

Damn he let me down at times too, but I love him. I'll always cherish the way that man played the game for my team and to go anywhere else makes ZERO sense to me.

Let's all heal or somehow try to get along better here. To go on squibling over the Favre Vs Aaron Rodgers controversy is simply silly. We are one lucky bunch to have these great QB's; one follow the other to stand behind OUR center and play lights out football.

For the positive memory of Brett Favre and the contemplation of the greatness of Aaron Rodgers.

GO PACKERS!

PS: Now @ 7 wins... ZERO Loss's after defeating the Minnesota Vikings in Minny yesterday Sunday Oct. 23 2011. RAW! RAW!! RAW!!!

Ed, until recently the league didn't take concussions very seriously. I'd wager Favre had a few concussions in his career but went back out there anyway. I recall in one game they gave him smelling salts! Because of changes in how teams will address this I doubt any QB in the future will be able to touch Favre's streak.

yup. Spot on

PB's got it exactly right.

There's no doubt that Rodger's ceiling is as high as Favre's ever was. What remains to be seen is if will be able to have a long career.

The Pack didn't have to worry about who was going to be under center for well over a decade. I remember reading something about the number of QB's Chicago went through during Favre's tenure, and it was shocking. That was something that certainly contributed in a not-insignificant way to how good and central he was to the Pack's success.

No one is expecting Rodger's to have anywhere near the longevity Favre did - I doubt anyone will, ever again.

I'll bite here. Favre had more upside for sure. Favre's physical tools were off the charts even by today's standards. That said if you put Favre's 40 year old mind in his 23 year old body I still don't think I'd take him over Rodgers. Rodgers when coupled with McCarthy is the most cerebral tandem that's ever existed in the NFL IMO. More so than Brady and Belichick, Warner and Martz, or Manning and himself.

Montana and Walsh?

Montana and Walsh?

That's who they look like, don't they? Except Rodgers throws a better deep ball.

After the graphic in the 49ers game that made arod a frankensteinian amalgamation of the best part of the best qbs I for one expect this level of performance.

fixed (I would have agreed with cyborg, but Manning's injury proved that he isn't a robot, as previously believed)
