Message: <blockquote data-quote="Bobby Roberts" data-source="post: 47953" data-attributes="member: 260">There are several reasons why Rodgers didn't play as much at the end of the year.  First off, it was the Packers' job to win the game every week and Favre gave us the best chance to win.  He's the leader of this team and obvious starter.  The next reason is that the Packers had great opportunities to win several games at the end.  You don't change to a rookie QB at the end of the game when it's close.It seems logical to give up on the season when you're out of the playoffs.  Why not lose the rest of your games for better draft picks?  Why not play the young guys more to give them more experience?  The problem is that losing is contagious, just like winning.  These guys are professionals with a competitive nature.  Giving up on a season or a game leads to that losing attitude.  This why teams at the bottom tend to stay there.  Year in and out these teams get the best draft picks and play those young players.  Year in and out those same teams stay at the bottom of the league.  It's not easy to break out of a contagious losing attitude, so it's better to never get there in the first place.</blockquote>
