Are we in trouble with him, can he do it?
I say that Brett should reduce his playing time and let Rodgers in on some snaps, sort of a transitional phasing. Prepare for life after Brett.

Well, my real estate agent's parents are season ticket holders to Cal, and really hard-core fans. They rarely miss a game. They're both convinced Rodgers has it. We'll see if that translates to success in the NFL. I hope so, but I don't expect him to play for another two to three years because Favre's not retiring after this season.
Rodgers may be gone by the time Favre retires.

I agree. Starr wasn't a "great" QB by todays standards. I think he only threw 156 (or something like that) touchdowns in his career. But he was smart, and a great on field leader. He called all his own plays. (I really miss that!)I have no reason to believe that Rogers cannot be a great quarterback. He has a good arm, throws accurately, is somewhat mobile,and seems to be very bright. What we don't' know about yet is can he do it at this level? He has proven to be outstanding at Cal. Will he be another Brett Favre? More than likely not, but if you surround him with great players he can have an outstanding career here. Bart Starr was probably an average talent who was surrounded by great athletes and all he had to do was execute and be smart. He could do both. I believe in Rogers.
yeah who knows. dont know either way really. I wouldnt write him off.
I continue to remind my friends here that if MM and TT were concerned about Rodgers, they would have picked Brady Quinn @ 16. They didn't though. And last year they could have picked Leinert or Cutler at #5 but didn't. I choose to believe that they picked Hawk and Harrell because they didn't feel another QB was needed. That gives me hope for the future of our team.
Well after the static between TT and Brett, I expect that this year will be Bretts final year. I say the Packers should just go with Rodgers and then make a run at Brian Brohm, Senior, Lousiville next season. This guy is pretty damn good and will be a franchise QB somewhere in the pros.
Like Detmer, Brooks, Brunell.....and on and on the list goes!LOLOLOL!!!
Hey, i don't care WHO replaces Favre, they are gonna have a hard time. He's a tough act to follow.
And look how many other teams have gone through QB after QB just since Favre became our starter! It must be in the hundreds by now. So our chance of having another QB like him in my lifetime is slim. I got to see Starr AND Favre, and feel blessed being able to see them both.

This is another reason that whomever says that aging is a curse if full of it. I envy older people. I wasn't alive when Lombardi was Coach. I never got to see Randy Rhoads play live before he died either.
Age is a blessing. The next generation will say the same thing to me. "Man, you're so lucky you got to see Brett Favre play. I wasn't even born yet."

yes but Favre was still playing for us so we didn't need a QB so we picked Hawk and Harrell as our number 1 picks in the last 2 years.
Raider Pride said:Arron has not had a chance to prove himself as a STARTER. By STARTER I mean the chance to start 4 or 5 games in a row and learn, adapt, overcome, and achieve.
When he did have a chance, he played on a broken foot and did not come out of the game. I remember that game. He showed the guts of a gazelle getting eating alive by hihenas on the Serengeti.
For any of us here on a forum including R.P. (As idiots who know very little about player evaluation compared to the coaches.) to suggest the Packers draft a QB in the first round next year is just jabber talk.
I just can not, in my heart, in my mind, and in my sanity suggest that the Packers give up on this kid and draft a QB in the first round next year until Aaron gets his chance to prove what he can do in a game situation in 4 or 5 successive opportunities to start.
The fact is so many people have sold him out based on his limited opportunities is so fan like. It is The Brett syndrome and it is sick.
Aaron has played small parts in 5 games and thrown the ball 31 times. Yep! Let's move on.
As you were gentleman...
Continue on about whatever....
I love Brett Favre as much as anyone on here if not more lol. I dont think he is learning how to be a quarterback from Favre. I think the future of the Packers would be in HUGE trouble if he was learning strait with Favre. Favre is a once in a team history kinda guy. I dont want anyone but Brett to try to do things the way he does(forcing passes, throwing across field with three defenders in his face..ect..) No one else in the league can hardly do the things Brett does, and Favre can hardly even do them anymore! I think Rodgers will be fine. But i hope we move into a pure style of west coast offense! I think it fits Rodgers good, plus I think it is a good style for a young quarterback with Talent. Which Rodgers is.Green_Bay_Packers said:he will have learned from the best in Favre so that should help him and hopefully he will be a great quaterback in the future, we need to build for the future as Favre will have to retire one day :rubeyes: .
