Just watched a couple of quarters of Rodgers in preseason in 2005.  Wow did he look awful his Rookie season. He really did.The commentators made mention of Favre “and that’s what makes Favre so great .. Rodgers makes the wrong read and the wrong throw… Favre wouldn’t do that”.  “This young receiver just doesn’t expect the holes to open like a veteran would”.That just reminded me how people who have no direct experience in professional sports mid-judge, pre-judge potential and have no earthly idea how to properly evaluate a player.  They have one objective. Say what it takes to play it safe. Pet the proven veterans and constantly question those early in a career. Thank the Lord they didn’t write Aaron Rodgers off early on. I also totally forgot Drew Brees backed up Philip Rivers there in San Diego. Brees looked much better than Rodgers and with good reason. He had just had most of a season of experience under his belt.  He had just come back from a serious injury.</blockquote>
