My guess is that, barring injury, Rodgers will just edge Favre in yards and touchdown passes with Green Bay. I don't think he will pass Favre's overall numbers though. It's unlikely he'll get to 500 touchdown passes or 70,00 yards. Those three years on the bench to start his career, plus his two injury-riddled seasons, will probably cause him to come up short of those milestones.

I think Aaron comes up short.
I have a gut feeling that he will retire inside of 3 years.

 

[XPack]

It'll take him 4 seasons based on his current trend to break yard and TD numbers.

I think he'll do it.

At this point, I'd just like to see him match Favre's number of Super Bowl appearances.

I have a feeling he will get it in 4 seasons, passing TD's in 3.

Appearances? I'd like to see him get another ring.

You know, I tend to agree with you on the retirement thing. His comment to the effect that "this year was FUN again", says that game hasn't been fun - perhaps he was just saying that the new guys in the locker room livened things up. Perhaps because of the injuries. Perhaps because he can't put up the god-like numbers he did as a younger man, and yeah ... Aaron, I think, has a HUGE ego (not a bad thing)...

Notice how we've gone from "The window's wide open, Rodgers has plenty of years left, he'll win multiple Super Bowls before he retires" to now: "Wow, it would great if Aaron could even get to one more Super Bowl".

If he just plays through his current contract (which is likely) in 2023 and he doesn’t succumb to a season ending injury. I believe He’ll surpass both.

Aaron should get the TD record if he's allowed to play through the contract.

I kind of think it's more likely that he retires himself than the administration forces him out. Of course, he could always be forced to retire for health reasons, God forbid.

I hadn’t thought about his bench years behind Favre or the two injury-shortened seasons. And then factoring in Favre’s incredible starting streak, gonna be tough for Rodgers to catch him.
