Why hadn't any national sportswriters mentioned this--at least not any that I know of? Elway's Broncos were crumbling, with Terrell Davis succumbing to injuries, and they also lost John Mobley and other key defensive players. The Dolphins were already halfway down the toilet when Marino retired. Ditto for the Cowboys when Aikman left, as well as the Steelers, Bills, and so on.Steve Young is the exception that proves the rule. The Niners still had Jerry Rice and a lot of great talent, which is why they kept winning when Steve Young took over. The tricky part for Rodgers is that he still has to play almost as well as Favre, just as Steve Young played almost as well as Joe Montana. I think he can.</blockquote>
