Sorry guys - Tromadz more closely nails this than anyone else....
I agree Rodgers didn't have much time, nor opportunity, to prove himself.
I think the one thing he didn't count on, was the intensity level in the NFL.
Rodgers didn't come from that big of a College - not like Matt Leinart will.
I would say if the Pack thinks they have a chance at Matt Leinart? Go for it.
Rodgers will eventually make a name for himself - pending injuries - in the NFL.
As for Favre speaking up now (?) Uh-huh, I wouldn't be asking him anything about it now. Like everyone else, he's "trying" to focus the next game, then the game after that. We are, after all, still (basically) in the mid-season, ya know!
What bites my backside is why won't the Press drill Doug Flutie and Vinny Testeverde about retirement...? Why only Brett Favre? In fact, I appear to be the only guy online asking THIS question.
I think the man deserves to be left alone with that nonsense. Certainly, Favre is a bigger story, on any level, than those two. But, when it comes to retirement - isn't it about the age of the player? Hence, why are we all skipping past asking those other guys the same questions...? And, what about Trent Green? He's 35, for cry iy iy....! Highly frustrating!
Truth be known, I bet Favre cares as much about Rodgers as he cares about all the other Players on this Team - on an equal basis - only Henderson, in my mind, would get a possible closer private fealty - they've been thru some trying times... (as well as Gravedigger, before he was booted un-necessarily by Sherman) I think, if anything, Pederson was probably one of his closest buddies in the last few years.... You don't go hunting deer with just anyone - not if you plan on bagging anything....
In the day, Favre has made fast friends with hundreds of guys.
Have any of you seen those Deer Hunting pics of Favre, Pederson and Wells.??
That's one good example right there....
The frustrating part is not being able to get just a tad bit closer.... certainly.
But, then that'd be the soap opera, wouldn't it?
I don't see this Locker Room imploding, either. If it does, it will be the rookies and the younger egos - it won't be the veterans. So, relax you guys - enjoy the game....
