    Not really...you are also comparing apples to oranges.

    Nall had one of the best offenses in the league to run when he stepped in for Favre briefly. Rodgers has mostly had nothing to work with the few times he's seen action. Let's compare Favre's numbers in 2004 and 2006...yeah, there's a reason for that.

    I think most QBs in the NFL could look good on the Packer offense in 2003/2004...which is why Nall didn't look horrible. Truth be told, he wasn't all that great...which is precisely why he still hasn't become a starter in the league 3 years after the fact.

    Rodgers is a better QB...he needed reps to become better, which is why the coaches wanted to move him to #2 over Nall. If Favre had gone down to injury that season long term, it is probable that Nall would've moved to the starting slot ahead of Rodgers due to experience.

    Basically, the coaches realized Nall more or less had reached the zenith of his potential...so he was going to remain at #3 unless Favre was injured and the team needed a 2-4 game replacement to fill in.

    Why that is confusing to you, I'm not sure.
    a lot of opinion, not much fact. It may also be the case that Nall was on his 4'th year with the Packers when Ted shocked the shit out of everyone and took Rogers in the first round. Then Ted did the same thing that he did with Harrell, he bumped him up on the depth chart because the fans expect the first round pick to be starter material. That in my opinion was more a PR move than anything. As far as Nall being in Buffalo, Teddy has a record of being a cheapo, it only made sense for him to get rid of Nall before his contract came up. Nall's age may have also have been a factor.
