[QUOTE="TJV, post: 576146, member: 4300"] :rolleyes: From the article: [B]Aaron Rodgers’ first extended regular-season playing time in the NFL was a disaster[/B]. … Rodgers played quarterback for the last play of the third quarter and the entire fourth quarter of the Packers’ 48-3 loss, four full series in all. [B]Three of those series ended in Rodgers turnovers and the other in a punt[/B]. … [B]At the time, [U]the Packers still thought Rodgers was a promising player but had little idea whether he’d pan out[/U][/B]. He’d shown the intelligence and arm talent to think he could win games by making good reads and accurate throws. But there would be no knowing until he was at the helm for several games or more. [B]As for him becoming more than a capable player, there weren’t yet signs he had the intangibles or “It” factor that separate upper-tier NFL quarterbacks from the rest[/B]. … Still, to suggest that general manager Ted Thompson and coach Mike McCarthy knew they had Favre’s long-term successor by the end of that night would be overstatement. They selected Brian Brohm in the second round of the ’08 draft the following spring as a hedge against Rodgers’ shaky durability (ACL surgery in college, a broken foot in ’06 and pulled hamstring late in ’07) and fallback if Rodgers didn’t pan out a year or two down the road.
