[QUOTE="Clay's Jock Strap, post: 268637, member: 1977"] Actually, it is pretty hard to praise Rodgers for doing things that are more leader-like than his predecessor without naming favre or bringing him up indirectly. Favre didn't like to participate in camps and OTAs, that is documented fact. Although there was a big age gap, he did a lot of things both in Green Bay and NY to be distant with his teammates, that is documented. Rodgers does things to bond with his team mates. Also, it is hard to deny that it puts a bit of a strain on a team's front office when, for several offseasons in a row, they need to go through free agency and the draft without even knowing who their starting QB is going to be. That is why I made the retirement comment. Favre put a lot of strains on the team his last few years, and right now, with AR you don't have any of that. It makes preparation a lot easier and McCarthy doesn't have to worry about looking like the QB's caddy (like the guy in Minnesota right now does) to the rest of HIS team and looking like a court jester. Again, if Thompson and McCarthy were wrong about Rodgers, they would look like complete assclowns right now because they would have in effect cut off their nose to spite their face. It is hard to win without a good QB and to kiss off one of the best of all time solely because he had become a diva simply would not have been a good enough reason - they still need to WIN. Rodgers' development makes it look like they made the right call - and IMO it took serious stones to be the guy(s) making a decision like that. If the Packers would currently be floundering with ****** QB play and no end in sight, those two would have been tarred and feathered. Even with Aaron proving to be one of the best young QBs in football, some still want to lynch the management. Again, a very tough business decision had to be made and I sure as hell wouldn't have wanted to be the guy to have to do it. [/QUOTE]
