[QUOTE="porky88, post: 215484, member: 489"] Cal, It's not a matter of anyone or at least myself doubting Rodgers ability to carry a team and win a game, it's the fact that the Packers have a great team and Rodgers shouldn't have to win a game on his own. The one thing Favre did last year better than maybe ever is manage the game. He was very efficient with the ball and was patient. It didn't come until really the Denver game until the deep ball started to develop for the offense followed by the running game. That was really when the Packers became an elite offense. Rodgers should be able to step in do what Favre did early on in the season. Be effcient and do enough to win the game but not over do it. When a QB specifically tries to win the game on his own you're going to get bad results. Favre in 2005 really did that and mostly because the level of talent around him wasn't very good. That's not the case with the talent any longer. I don't expect Rodger's first start to be a 4 TD day. I wouldn't mine it but that wouldn't be fair to Rodgers if I expect that. However I expect him to do enough to win and I'm not doubting that the Packers will attack the field. I do think he'll execute the game plan really good. He actually might be a better fit for McCarthy's offense than what Favre was and you're hearing things like that from around the NFL. Over the course of the season Rodgers should go from "game manager" to one of the better QB's in the NFC possibly. That's IF he lives up the the hype and I definitely believe he's capable of it. Really my only concern is if he can stay healthy but then again injuries happen to every player, even Brett Favre had quite a few. [/QUOTE]
