I'd like to give him at least a year to get up to speed. In his first year he needs to show that he CAN be a very good QB, even if he is inconsistent. It will be harder for him than for Starr and Favre for a few reasons. Mainly, people have shorter attention spans nowadays than they did even in the early 90's, especially with the 24/7 media coverage. Also, Starr and Favre were on up-and-coming teams, so there was a good argument for letting them grow with the rest of the team in spite of their struggles. The Pack's 13-3 record last year means that fans will be hoping for a fully-formed NFL QB right from the start. Also, Starr and Favre did not have highly-regarded draft picks playing behind them. I don't think that will necessarily make things harder for Rodgers on the field, but if Brohm looks good, there will be pressure for a quick hook for Rodgers if he falters. Notice that all of these factors are about fans, though. The key will be the coaching staff. They need to keep their heads on straight and stick with the best approach, even if it is not the most popular approach with fans right at the moment.</blockquote>
