[QUOTE="PackPackPackers, post: 487574, member: 3529"] It's laughable that you said "Ron Wolf, Harlan, AND Mike Holmgren" built the franchise when it was clearly Favre. Nobody ask those guys to do commercials or lots of interviews like Brett Favre. Plus, from what I remember, GM's and owners do not play on the field. The reason people liked GB Packers so much during the 90s/00s was NOT because of the owner, GM, or coach. Brett Favre was clearly the bigger picture for that franchise. I never heard anyone say: "ZOMG MIKE HOLMGREN IS COACHING THE PACKERS, CAN'T WAIT TO GET HIS AUTOGRAPH. MAN, THIS GUY IS LIKE PHIL JACKSON OF THE NFL." I recall that it was more like: "Brett Favre: won 1 SB, won 2 NFC Championship games (out of 3 appearances for GB), 3 MVPS. We watch GB Packers because Brett is so fun to watch, and his personality is hilarious." I smell a LOT of Rodgers bias in your analysis (there are a bunch of "AR fans" in this thread too). Yeah, it's easy to compare AR to Brett Favre where it's completely unfair because AR has played way LESS games than Favre. I am pretty sure if AR were to play as much Favre, his TD-INT ratio would be close. ALSO, Rodgers also got a head start in his career rather than Favre. He got to back up Brett Favre for 3 solid years. This means AR got to analyze/improve his skill set, integrate into the offensive system smoothly, and get full support from the staff. Favre was just thrown into his first game once the guy before him got injured. There is a HUGE age difference between when Favre started and when AR started. I am not even going to pretend to say that the defenses NOW were as good as in the 1990s. Quite frankly, the defenses now aren't very good compared back then. So let me get this right...Aaron Rodgers gets to play in the league where a passing offense is favored and CB's can barely touch WR's without getting criticized for throwing interceptions? Not only that, but AR has WAY BETTER receivers than during Favre's entire tenure in GB. Don't even try to argue me on this point because Antonio Freeman is not like Greg Jennings. Bubba Franks is not even like Jermichael Finely. Oh, and BTW, was it Favre's fault for letting the infamous "4th and 26" to be converted? I remember that the 2003 Packers defense allowed the Eagles to come back into that game to win. It's kind of funny that Favre would have been to ANOTHER NFC championship game if the Eagles never converted on that drive. You also forgot about Al Harris getting burned all day long by Plaxico Burress (11 cathes for 154 yards, which ultimately set the NY Giants to get 2 easy rushing touchdowns) in the 2007 NFC Championship game. Lol, so...in reality BF should be 3-0 in NFC Championship games (NOT including the 2009 Vikings championship where AP fumbled it multiple times). Um...so how many championship games has Aaron Rodgers gotten to? Right...only one. He was REALLY bad in that game too by throwing 0 TD's and 2 INT's in that game. The defense had to save AR or else we wouldn't be talking about him right now... [/QUOTE]
