[QUOTE="easyk83, post: 895229, member: 8895"] Favre played in a harsher NFL, where diving into a QBs knees was acceptable and roughing the passer was much looser in its enforcement. Rodgers played much of his career getting love taps in situations which would have seen Favre get blown up. I wager that Brett had significantly more wear and tear on his body at this point of his career. Based on what I'm seeing Rodgers looks like he could play at a high level for another 5 years. Love was taken with a certain measure of ruthlessness in mind, Rodgers could be lost permanently in any snap and quite frankly Love probably will not succeed. So you grab Rodgers replacement while he still has atleast a couple years in the tank and if said replacement doesnt pan out you can hedge your bets and draft another and another after that. As for Rodgers performance, he's playing in a much better offense that plays upon misdirection and balance to slow down the pass rush and to prevent defenses from loading up against an offense obsessed with pushing the ball downfield. Now we work the checkdowns when there's room, consistently, and run whenever teams spread their D-lines out against passing sets on early downs. Rodgers has, as a result, taken the fewest number of sacks in his career as a starter. If you take his average over the past 3 years his takedowns have been cut in half. I guarantee that has him playing with more juice. It also bodes well for his performance playing into the future. Rodgers is more patient with the run game than he has been at any point in his career and maybe he's finally accepted that a balanced offense will extend his career. [/QUOTE]
