(this is just my opinion, I easilly,possibly,probably, could be wrong, but I think this is something to throw out there. Lets try not to make this a bash thread.)
Favre(the 2006 Favre) is probably better than Rodgers. Yeah. That is a pretty easy assumption we can live with. But still, could A-Rod be the better choice to play QB?
With our line the way it is(unfinished at this point), which is not very good, we could easilly see Brett throwing 29 interceptions again. He's the gunslinger. He makes things happen. He turns nothing into something. Sometimes.
But his "all or nothing" attitude (which I personally love, and will miss when he retires in 2 years) seems to definitely have it's drawbacks. 29 interceptions drawbacks. Yes, the line sucked, and his WRs were hurt and nonexistent. But nobody made him throw the ball. Nobody put a gun to his head and said "You throw that ball or your little girls are gonna get it, you son of a *****." He threw it, because he is the gunslinger and throws the football through a window that only a brett favre throw could get into.
29 interceptions though. Not all his fault, yeah. But, nobody made him throw the lobs up there when he was getting sacked. Nobody made him force the throws. Why not take a sack? Why not throw it away? The only guess I(personally) can make is that favre is a PROUD competitor.
With a top 10 offensive line(which we've had for a while until last year) Bretts zingers and gunslinging antics were great. But now(2005, but hopefully NOT 2006, but we dont know yet) the aggressive ways seem to be a disaster. His WRs(Who he barely knows cuz they were just signed) arent getting to the spot he wants, and is being picked off. The throw he is forcing because he is about to be sacked...picked off.
Would it be possible that a more calm,conservative approach would be better? Taking a sack isn't the end of the world, not when you have a top 10 defense. Throwing it away doesn't make you a coward(brett STILL barely throws the ball away). Most coaches want you to throw the ball away when you don't have anything instead of throwing a lob pass up, and last year..brett didn't have anything (WRs or Oline help).
We do not know much about Aaron Rodgers in the NFL. We don't know how aggressive he is, if he forces the issue like Brett does. All we know is he is a (supposed) young talent, with tremendous upside.
If Aaron Rodgers IS that calm,conservative QB, and the offensive line is once again not great...should Rodgers get the nod?
I personally hope the line gets fixed, we get a good WR for Javon, and Brett changes his mind and says 2 more years instead of 1, but I thought this was something to think about.
