[QUOTE="Cal2GreenBay, post: 116863, member: 682"] Troy Aikman was booed in his first year in Dalls as he went 2-14. He then turned it around and went to the playoffs. Brett is playing well and gives us the best chance to win. The BALANCING ACT is trying to keep Brett in there to win, and giving time for Aaron to take his licks and get stronger for the next run. Example. Alex Smith in San Francisco too a lot of licks in San Francisco's 3-13 season last year. Lots of fans wanted him out too... The fact is, losing brings some raw emotions out of people, not exactly logical at that. All I am saying (not speaking for others)..is that if Brett is in..he's in...that's great. But if he's out for some time, it may be good for Aaron to get a LOT of experience this year...and then he can then make that same turnaround that Alex Smith did this year. BUT if the packers WAIT..till next year if/when Brett retires, then that stunts Aaron's growth until next year. My personal opinion is that pro QB's can learn in a year sitting on the sidelines. Anymore than that..you are wasting their talent for that extra year or two. Steve Young wasted his late 20s waiting behind Joe Montana in San Francisco. Imagine what kind of records Steve Young could've added to his resume if he were to be the starting QB in San Francisco instead of sitting 3 plus years.? Now back to the Montana/Young analogy. People HATED Steve Young replacing Joe Montana WAY MORE than people on here hate Aaron Rodgers replacing Brett Favre. Being from San Francisco, that QB transitition took some time, and divided the locker room, the organization, and the city. Steve Young couldn't do ANYTHING right in the eyes of the 49ers fans. If he threw one incompletion..it was PULL STEVE OUT...Bring in our third stringer! So I've been through that sentiment and understand it. I'm just seeing the same cycle happen w/the Packer faithful now..and it's new to the Packer fans watching the HOF QB transition right now. NOW for the record..I am NOT comparing Aaron Rodgers to Steve YOung. But at the same time, NO ONE KNEW how good STeve YOung was either. When he first got to play when Joe Montana got injured..Steve was not an accurate passer and had happy feet....and ran too much..a LOT LIKE..MICHAEL VICK. The thing is..Steve reinvented himself into a pocker passer and then became a HOF QB. Aaron Rodgers needs time and a fair shot. Judging him in a lopsided game vs the New England Patriots..who's stout defense troubles every QB not named Peyton Manning..is not a fair indicator. As many people said...Brett/Aaron's stats in the game were not that different. Let's just hope BOTH GUYS do not have serious injuries and can make it back really soon.. [/QUOTE]
