McCarthy has said it was a very close call but the 9’ers decided on Smith because they thought he was more athletic than Rodgers. I also remember reading the concern of some that Rodgers was a “Tedford” QB, which wasn’t a compliment at the time, but I don't know if that figured into the 9ers' evaluation.  Regarding Favre, the story goes that Wolf had evaluated his senior season and was about to leave when an assistant coach at Southern Miss implored him to look at tape from Favre’s junior season. (Remember Favre had a pretty bad car accident before his senior year that affected his play.) So Wolf went back and looked at his junior season and that evaluation convinced him Favre was the best player in that draft. I’ll bet Wolf was the exception and other teams were evaluating Favre on his senior season. </blockquote>
