I don't care if Rodgers and McCarthy are sharing a bunk bed at Lambeau, this argument about offseason prowess isn't going to convince anyone but Aaron's dad.
He didn't roll out of bed last year.
Brett was DRAGGED out of bed wondering if he's gonna play or not...
Wondering if he's gonna have the 'motivation' etc..
and had to be ego stroked and coaxed into it...
AND he had to prepare like crazy w/core training etc...
So he had to bust his *** to keep his SPOT.
He outplayed everyone but Brady???
He outplayed both Mannings? umm...okay..
BRETT hasn't done squat like last year to keep himself in tip top shape.
So while Aaron's been RUNNING THE TEAM...Brett's been loafing around.
All I'm saying is that Brett's gonna have to TAKE the job from Aaron this time around. He's no longer keeping the seat warm.
And just because Brett played well last year doesn't mean he his head and shoulders better this year.
ALSO this "Aaron hasn't played a down yet" is not true. He played
in a regular season game. Phillip Rivers didn't play a DOWN for 2 years
and they still believed he should start.
It's not infallible for the Packers brass to have seen ENOUGH in Aaron to want him be the GUY from now on.
It's Natural. The old lion is not going to give up his spot easily and the young lion is not going to let him have it w/out a fight now.
Also Aaron's Dad's name is ED RODGERS...
not Cal2GreenBay..(my name's Mike)...
and last name's not Rodgers...
One, I didn't know you had a security camera inside the Favre's residence and you know that Favre hasn't done "squat". How do you know he hasn't been working out like any other season?
Two, you honestly believe that Favre wasn't one of the best QB's in the league last year? 4000 yards, 28 TD's? Your reply makes it sound like you don't evne think Favre was that impressive last year.
Three, Rodgers hasn't started a game, relax. "He had to bust his *** to keep his SPOT". HOW do you know that? Based on WHAT? I never read a single thing last year saying that Favre and Rodgers were competing and Rodgers evne had a CHANCE to take the job of Favre.
Your comments are not even supported by links or some kind of source. Your clearly related to Rodgers some how or roomed with him in college or something.
Like some people's comments that they see the potential is Rodgers, etc. Fine, everyone has an opinion. But to talk down to Favre based on no actual support, uncalled for.
I didn't say Brett had a bad season. I just don't buy someone else's notion that the only person that performed better than Favre last year was Tom Brady. Statistically Peyton was up there, and his younger brother BEAT Favre(or some would say Favre beat himself) to the superbowl.
So to say Favre was better than everyone but Brady is what I was questioning. Not that he had a bad season.
Dudes. Brett retired. Even Steve Mariucci on NFL network said Brett's not ever going to get OUT of shape..but he hasn't been training like he did last year.
MAYBE he's starting it now..
But as this article and what's going on suggests. He RETIRED
and now is getting the itch.
Last year he didn't retire and trained like he was returning.
Are you guys saying he's been in training camp shape even though
he retired?
It's neither extremes guys. I didn't say Brett was fat and out of shape, but somehow you guys allude to me saying that.
I'm SAYING..he's not as PREPARED for this season as he did last year
based soley on that he RETIRED.
And if he were to COME BACK..he'd need to catch up or kick up his regiment to prepare.
And while he's been DECIDING..his successor has taken command of the team and has the backing of his coach AND general manager...eventhough certain fans can't claim to do so because "he hasn't played a down".
Glad to see the one's who call the shots in the organization don't base everything on "hasn't played a down" mentality and have a keener eye
than any of us do.
Please don't claim I'm ED Rodgers (Aaron's dad).
