[QUOTE="Hauschild, post: 255299, member: 1638"] Well, as I've stated several times before, Favre gives you 1 to 3 critical plays at critical junctures that Rodgers does not. That translates into moving the sticks, which then leads to points. Favre had a boatload of them again today - that pass to Harvin for the TD - Rodgers would never had attempted that throw. The sweet pass to Berrian for the TD where he put a bit of air underneath the ball and threw it to Berrian's backside, thereby giving him time to react and reach back to adjust and make a play. These plays often go un-asterisked in the play books, but they are what separates Favre from Rodgers. Where Thompson erred was in not understanding this within the context of his O-line. Rodgers is steadfast and deadly with time, but he's not good when he's made to feel uncomfortable. Green Bay's current line was built - for the most part - assuming Favre was under center (the injuries to Cliffy and Tausch notwithstanding). Thompson thought Rodgers would do as well or better than Favre, but he completely misread these "extra plays" Favre gives the offense. At any rate, Green Bay is still pretty doggone solid and remember they don't face a Minnesota-like D-line every week - although I'm sure Rodgers doesn't mind that porous secondary Minny fields. Even when Winfield started, they still gave up huge chunks of passing yardage and passing TD's. [/QUOTE]
