The huge difference between those two right now is:
Rodgers plays *NOT* to lose ... and *NOT* to make mistakes ... (which is why he is getting sacked so much actually)
Favre plays to (TRY) to win ... - Also meaning that old Greybeards isn't intimidated by the possibility of throwing a pick ...
While Rodgers probably won't lose any games for the Packers, like Favre has in some games in the past (by throwing the INT), Rodgers at the same time - AT *This* point in his career, will NOT win any games either ... Because that would require him to risk a little more when it is needed ("Clutch plays") ...
Then again ... the win vs loss ratio Favre has pretty much speaks for itself don't you think ? ...
Traded to NY Jets ... had to learn a whole DIFFERENT offensive system ..., yet Favre was a huge factor (not the only factor, but a huge factor) that the NY Jets was as succesfull as they were - untill his arm gave out ...
No matter how much anyone dislikes Favre, not being able to understand and acknowledge what he brings to any team he is on, is ludicrous ... and either goes to show that people know very little about football, or just don't get it ...
There were several times in yesterdays game where Rodgers had AMPLE time (at one point as much as 6,5+ seconds) - Yet Rodgers was still sacked ... - I'm sorry, but no matter how much anyone may dislike Favre ... - that isn't the offensive lines fault ... but the quarterback ... anymore than 3-4 seconds is practically and "eternity" in the pocket ...
This is right on the money. Rodgers is scared to take the neccessary risks to win games. Even in Brett's earlier years, he was a gun slinger and won many games he had no business winning.
