Rodgers

[superfan]

At the time he was drafted, I was pretty happy with the pick, considering a potential #1 overall pick had "fallen" to us. (copyright Brady Quinn, 2007)

I've been up and down on the pick since then. One thing I will say is that this is the first time in a long time I've been confident that we could even win a game should the unthinkable happen - the unthinkable being Favre going down with an injury.

Yes, preseason games don't really matter, but at least Rodgers is showing this year that he can play NFL football. Ever since Hasselbeck left, I have felt that a Favre injury would be disastrous. Now, a number of factors are there that indicate that GB can be at least competitive should Favre go down - a decent QB waiting to take his spot, a very solid defense, and some semblance of a running game.

The post-Favre era is beginning to look brighter.

I get the feeling AR knows the MM version of the WCO better than Favre, and he prolly has a better feel for his receivers right now as well. He must get better in the pocket though. Favre is a master of avoiding the rush with subtle step ups in the pocket. AR must get better radar fast, and hold onto the rock. But I agree, we could win with AR.

Don't let the "ARod is a bust" camp hear that. Incidently, that camp has been very silent this year so far.

A-Rod can have it in 2009. Until then........as GBR would say.....

Rodgers has now played two CONSECUTIVE good games. If he plays well the last to pre-season games, then I will get excited about him.

When was the last time Favre played well in 4 consecutive games?

Rodgers will be the QB in 08.

When was the last time Rodgers played in 1 regular season game without getting hurt?

Sometime back in 04

My comments had nothing to do with durability.

If you're going to wait until Rodgers has 4 consecutive preseason games to get excited, you might be holding the bar a little beyond the reach of decent production. He's flashed. He hasn't flashed before. It's a good thing.

Here's my feeling on the team.

We're good, getting better, but still young. In another year or two, these young players should have developed into a strong team. Especially the receivers and offensive line. If Jackson is a player and everything gels, we could potentially give Favre another shot at the big game. It probably wouldn't be until next year.

On the other hand, if Rodgers starts playing next year, he can take over the team and grow with them as well. I could see him making the playoffs or coming close with the talent we have. I could almost picture it like the run we had we Favre in the early 90s. Getting better every year, making it to the playoffs but losing, making it to the divisional game, making it to the conference game, etc. It was like we were constantly knocking on the door and getting closer.

In other words, I think we have a shot if Favre comes back next year. If he doesn't, I think we have a shot 2-3 years down the road. The only question is which is better. I think if Favre leaves, Rodgers gets field experience quicker, and his performance overall will be better.

Its nice to sit here and talk about, but for a team that only just won a preseason game its a lot of wishful thinking.

Rodgers looks like a player. He looked calm under pressure, atheltic when he needs to be, strong armed, decisive, poised and accurate. He's got everythign you need in a QB and a good coach to teach him the game.

Favre is still here and I'm happy to win with Favre but Rodgers looks like he could be a winner and Favre is old so we need to start looking at the next guy. Listening to the women here knock Rodgers it just reminds me how emotional and blind people can be when they fall in love with a player. No wonder people complain about how TT is building. People really do have an emotional attachement to Favre that prevents any type of rational thought.

Rodgers fumbles bothered me. However, the first was a bad snap. Favre has lost bad snaps, this one we just didn't recover. The second was poor protection. Favre has fumbled plenty of times when getting hit from behind like that.

I actually like watching Rodgers play better than Favre. Not saying Rodgers is better. For some reason I just enjoy watching him.

People had an emotional attachment to Green too. And Gilbert. It's a pretty natural thing for most people.


But Ted can't.
