Hey, we'll see. I hope I'm wrong. Just that there's a history of durability problems.

haha. Aaron Rodgers has no worse a durability problem than Favre had.
Fav-re
- 275 consecutive starts including playoffs.
Rodgers
- Broken his foot in first game he played in in 2007, out for season
- Had a great game filling in for Fav-re against Dallas in 2008, then pulled his hammy in the first practice the following Wednesday (Necessitating Fav-re to start, although he probably would have anyway)
The only two times that Rodgers has seen significant playing time, he was unable to start the following week. Now, I don't buy into the whole "injury prone" thing - I think it is more coincidence than anything else. But to say that he is a durable as Fav-re was is laughable.

Just for the fun of it...

How many starts has Favre missed due to injury = 0
How many starts has Rodgers missed due to injury = 0
they have the EXACT same durability.
Favre was injured 80% of the time. but he strapped up and played almost every time when it came time to start. Until Rodgers faces the same situation, its blind *** stupid speculation to call him injury prone or having durability issues. And judging from the 06 game in which he continued to play the rest of the game on the broken foot, saying he has durability issues is "laughable".

In Nodak's defense, NO ONE has had the durability of Brett Favre. No QB who ever played the game. Suggesting ANYONE does is ludicrous.
I'm of course hoping Rodgers does and goes on to be a Hall of Famer and more importantly winning us some SBs, but suggesting anyone is as durable as Favre is far fetched.
QB's with good offensive lines stay around.
whats ludicrous is suggesting in any way that Arod is injury prone.
we have 0 evidence that Aaron won't try his best to play through every injury. Brett Favre was injury prone. he stayed injured. he just played through it. the only evidence we have of Aaron so far was 2 quarters playing on a broken foot which is very much so Brett Favre esque. It is entirely possible for Rodgers to stay healthy for a very long time. Brady has done it... Peyton has done it. QB's with good offensive lines stay around.

I think neither Nodak nor I were suggesting Rodgers is injury prone. We were both implying that starting 275 straight games is kind of a once-in-a-lifetime thing.
how many BYE weeks allowed Brett to get an extra week of rest?
I would..........but that would cover my tattoo of Trom.bozz_2006 said:cheesy should get that tatttooed on his butt cheek.
Rodgers is our qb and we need to support him no matter what ... I still don't actually see why people are on the brett's ship ??? helloooo you've retired mr brett ... and just for the record if he actually cared for green bay ... and does want to return he should demand for a trade like it's not right for rodgers he has been waiting for his time 3 years now ... should of tought about it twice brett but it's to late to qb the packers ... and im so happy TT gave him the answer that we have moved on ... Rodgers my man im on your side and i wont shut up cause im a fan of yours *his msg was sent out to the doubters wich im not ... im not saying his the best qb and he will win a sb (yes i do hope he becomes the best and wins it) but how do you expect him to perform if the fans are going to be ***'s like why would he actually want to perform if their like that ... the least the fans could do are to encourage him and if does actually suck then call for his head then i wouldn't back him up

I have nothing against Rodgers as our QB, but you ask why people are still on Bretts ship? HELLOOOO!! Because again he can still play, he proved that last season, and he would still give us the hope we need to go back to the Super Bowl or get close anyways. I cant say that about Rodgers as of yet, he hasnt proven himself, nor was he ever given the chance either to be fair. But when Brett was our QB why would we put Rodgers in? Brett was having the season of his life last year. I would still be on Brett's ship if he decided to return. If he doesnt then thats okay to, because eventually we do have to move on without him, and I do wish Rodgers the best of luck and hope he does prove himself as a Packer.
