He knows what that's like. If he stinks the first few games it will be the pressure he puts on himself, not what's coming from the fans or media, that he has to learn to control. How many first round QB's get three years to see how everything works and experience ups and downs and how the fans and the media deal with losing and seeing the pressure losing puts on teams and the players?What I am saying is he KNOWS that if it were still Brett Favre in there and HE stunk it up the first two or three games the fans would have started the "he should have retired" gig. It's not like he's a rook just suiting up and going in and taking over for a legend. There's not another guy in the NFL that has earned and deserves the right to get up under center opening day for the Green Bay Packers than AROD and he wouldn't have made it this far if he didn't know something about handling pressure.</blockquote>
