[QUOTE="Greg C., post: 227908, member: 195"] "Rodgers hasn't studied it closely, but he has a theory, that in many cases, when a great quarterback retired or moved on, the team around him had grown old and its so-called window of opportunity was closing, anyway." This is so obvious that it's kind of pathetic that Rodgers himself is the first person to come out and say it. Why hadn't any national sportswriters mentioned this--at least not any that I know of? Elway's Broncos were crumbling, with Terrell Davis succumbing to injuries, and they also lost John Mobley and other key defensive players. The Dolphins were already halfway down the toilet when Marino retired. Ditto for the Cowboys when Aikman left, as well as the Steelers, Bills, and so on. Steve Young is the exception that proves the rule. The Niners still had Jerry Rice and a lot of great talent, which is why they kept winning when Steve Young took over. The tricky part for Rodgers is that he still has to play almost as well as Favre, just as Steve Young played almost as well as Joe Montana. I think he can. [/QUOTE]
