You're all missing the point. I know that he's unproven, but we know what Favre brings. I don't think he can take us to the big game. Hopefully he proves me wrong, but I don't think he can do it anymore. I've seen too many playoff games over the past few years to give me any confidence. I'm willing to take a shot with Rodgers, despite whatever "fragility" you all claim he has.
As unproven as he is, he does bring a shot of hope into the future doesn't he?
As for having him replace Favre, we have a quandary... When does youth overtake experience? Isn't that really the question?
Fvre made some not so good throws vs the Giants but he made some good ones as well... USUAL Favre. The throws he DID make were not good enough to overcome a stifling Giant defense and an overall poor performance by the Packers.
Giants BEAT the PACKERS just like they beat the Patriots... They did not beat just Favre, or Brady, they physically and mentally outplayed us.
Favre's throw at the end was a culmination of the Giants stifling play.
Packers as a team was outplayed just as the Patriots were outplayed.
2 things I am reflective about. Packers, as poorly as they played the Giants, scored 20 points and lost the game in OT because of a turnover.
And Favre's play was better than that of the rest of the team.
Would the Packers have won that game with Rodgers in at QB? I doubt it.
GIVEN that Favre will probably return, A-Rod will be a very highly paid clipboard holder yet again.
Will the Packers win the Superbowl with Favre next year? We really don't know.
Will the Packers win the Superbowl with A-Rod next year? Chances are slimmer.
