But the point of his job is to strongly commit to a point of view. There are many other Rodgers- and Thompson-bashing columns by Whitlock from 2008 and 2009 (I haven't been able to find them.) But it sure was fun to read Whitlock's Twitter account during Rodgers' playoff run. He was making ridiculous comments -- that weren't meant to be taken seriously -- that Favre would've perfomed better in the Falcons game. And he would tweet something like, "Long live the Dongslinger." My point is, I take Whitlock seriously and not so seriously. He's a fun read. And everybody can be wrong. Let's not forget; Rodgers, considered the greatest QB today, was not even considered one of the Top 3 QBs in the NFC one year ago, according to the Pro Bowl.</blockquote>
