Rodgers vs Favre do it here

You can call someone a "chicken" and a "douchebag", and make all the pathetiic "excuses" that you want for Mr. 31-33...but it doesn't change the fact that TT and AROD haven't accomplished sh*t yet...and once Favre and the Vikings kick their asses 2x this year, and the Pack finishes out of the running, it is you who will be the pathetic laughing stock of the NFL...

Good luck with that!

ha:jester:

Lets just wait till they play when Rodgers has the best game of his career and favre has his worst

OK, so i've been watching this debate for a lil while, and found it amusing. but now its getting PERSONAL! how DARE you say we'll be the laughing stock of the NFL, that is a cheap shot at the Lions who worked SO HARD for that honor, the packers aren't worthy of said title!

@longtimefan-

Agreed. Hell, Favre didn't do anything spectacular either. Simply showed up and handed the ball off.

A win is a win. Glad we were able to get it done, no matter how sloppy. Lets hope we can fix our issues and get back on track.

That is very very weird... Favre did do that, however he openly admits he ran out of gas the second half the season (aside form the injury).

And obviously your an idiot since 5 out of 6 games were decided by four points or less last season. Everyone (but you obviously) knows it was the Defense who could not finish last year, hence the reconstruction of it.

and Im not worried about favre, prolly will get hurt b4 the pack play him. And if he doesnt he will prolly cough up a bunch of interceptions like he always seems to do. Adrian is who the packers will need to focus on primarily.

Go Pack Go

Roger ONLY had to get it to him. ONLY!??? Roger came from behind to win a TOUGH game.

Sometime I wonder if the guys still holding Favre Jock Strap have a bunch of Favre memorabilia and don't want the prices to drop. LOL

I think I could have beaten the Browns at QB with AP and the Vikes D. Favre did nothing special, but if you watch the News you would think he personally ran the ball for the TDs. Vikes beat a bad Browns team and all of a Sudden Favre is BACK to MVP form. Whatever.

Yeah, Favre tosses a desperation pass into basically a covered receiver who makes a hell of a great catch. The balls should have been picked off. But Favre gets the respect. FAVRE IS BACK, LORD FAVRE STILL HAS IT!!! What a bunch of crap. If he the receiver had dropped that everybody would be second guessing having him as their QB as they would be 2-1 and have struggled in their game against Detroit and San fran.

I'll take Rogers over Favre at this point in their respective careers. Rogers has great opportunity in front of him. Favre is on his way out. If the Vikings really wanted to win a SB, they should have gone after Rogers, not through the Jet's trash dumpster and try to refurbish Favre.

As soon as Minnesota faces a good opponent in the regular season or post season you'll see little Lord Favre try to win it and blow it all. Gonna be fun to watch that train wreck in Minnescrota. Favre looked like crap in the 49ers game, but got lucky at the end.

Luck sometimes is better than skill.

Neither does Ted Thompson...

Why anyone respects that egotistical douchebag is beyond me...

Tauscher is working out for Kansas City, and do you think Teddyboy will sign him?

Not a chance!

Ted is too infatuated with young "boys"...

(When are you guys going to catch on?)

Everyone has downplayed Greg Lewis's catch but it was still a great throw as it was right where it was supposed to be for him to make the catch. Favre did show good poise in order to buy more time to complete the pass.

Rodger's at this point and time is the better QB as far as skills but his book is only beginning where we are on the last chapter with Favre.

You've (and many others) have been saying that crap for 5 years now!

What if Rodgers never delivers and Thompson blew his last best chance by chasing Favre out of Green Bay.

How will you feel then?

How will you feel if Favre takes the Vikies all the way to the SB this year?

So, why will for some reason Brett Favre be better around December?


Am I missing something?

I vote for BAN because it is change we can believe in.

Yes you hate TT but bring some facts to back up your argument.

What if...
What if Rodgers wins 3 SBs,
What if gets voted MVP 4 times and
What if the vikings finish with a losing season?

What a dumb thing... Asking questions based on extremist hypotesis...

I don't know.

He's making an assumption that you are going to WIN WITH RODGERS..so.

and LT, to answer your question.

It's all relative.

Ted Thompson has a big ego. You can see that just by the fact that he LOVES him some of his own draft picks, but does not want to sign "outside" or veteran guys, like Wolf did. Yeah...he's going to cut some of his own picks, and sign some of Sherman's...but if he didn't, he would be a TOTAL frickin' Homer, and would have been sent packing already....

So it's not black or white, to my thinking.

There is no doubt that Aaron Rodgers is a very talented and gifted quarterback ... however ... Going from being talented to "full-fledge-star" are two very different things ... Some talented players (in any sports) never make that transition ... and "earn" the title "Eternal Talent" (not sure what you call it in english, so I translated a danish saying lol)

Fact is:

Favre "made it" from being "talented" into a "full-fledged-star" ...

Rodgers is still making his way from being "talented" ... but not yet a "full-fledged-star" ...

However, personally, I think it's time he earns his 60(?) million contract and start producing some more wins ...

- IF the Packers end up with another losing season, I wonder if the media will be all over him like they currently are on Romo in Dallas ? Because in my view, Romo has actually produced something, since he started (as a "starter") as to compared to Rodgers, who is still having to "prove" his (real) worth imho ...

Right now ... in my opinion Rodgers is NOT the better quarterback of the two ... - he still makes way too many mistakes that he (Rodgers) should know by now not to do (I'm referring to pocket awareness, reading the blitz, getting rid of the ball faster and also his seemingly(?) lack of periferal vision on the field) - and I'm one of those who believe that the WR corps of the Packers have also helped in making Rodgers stats better than what they really should be ...

Will Rodgers become the better quarterback ? - Perhaps ... but not untill he weeds out those mistakes ...

Now I'm not saying Favre doesn't make mistakes, because we all know he certainly does heh (part of why he is so interesting and fun to watch play), but right now Rodgers is in fact making more mistakes and mis-reads than Favre ... and currently that means Rodgers "loses" that match-up, and also because comparing those two at the current stage in either of their careers is kinda moot at this point ...

And before other people start bringing up quarterback ratings ... - those are numbers and statistics, and as such, you can always bring up numbers that support any arguement ... In the end many years from now ... compare the wins vs loses (because those are what counts) and then we'll all be more the wiser ... (I seem to recall an "all time great" who never won a super-bowl ...)

Personally what I would like to see is the quarterback ratings incorporating sacks and fumbles too ... because that would show a "better" (statistical) view than currently ... (like minus 2 points pr sack and minus 5 pr fumble - just an example)

Just a few thoughts from Scandinavia ...
