To be honest with you, if their situations were exactly reversed today (yards, TDs, sacks, pressure, won/lost), you'd likely say Favre was better but that his offensive line, defense, and/or receivers let him down.You know, people still keep pushing that Rodgers is clearly already better than Favre and frankly I still don't see it.Watched the game today and honestly could not say that Rodgers had given my Packers a better chance than Favre would have.

Not me man. I said I wanted Favre from '07, and it looks like we got the Favre "All Star" instead. 4 TDs against the Pack?

Umm. Evidence suggests you're right. It isn't close. Rodgers is nowhere near as good as Favre.Thanks for playing.That 56% completion rate for Rodgers is a bit misleading. The Packer receivers have really let the team down this year with way too many drops. (I believe its about 10 drops now, a ton on 90 attempts.) Rodgers also has been betrayed by his offensive line, which up until the last 3 quarters vs the Rams was offensive. Favre was better in his MVP years than Rodgers is now, but as of right now, this one isn't close. Rodgers all the way.
You shouldn't be. Rodgers has had numerous opportunities to show he has "it." He doesn't. Sure, some of it is not his fault but I'm tired of seeing the Pack get down 14 or 21 points, manage some sort of comeback and lose in the end. Happens too often. Killer instinct. It isn't there. I hope the Favre saga doesn't curse the Pack for years to come.Pretty much.Even after today..>Im still taking Rodgers any day of the week.Favre played well, no doubt....but Im happy with who GB has as their QB right now.To be honest with you, if their situations were exactly reversed today (yards, TDs, sacks, pressure, won/lost), you'd likely say Favre was better but that his offensive line, defense, and/or receivers let him down.You know, people still keep pushing that Rodgers is clearly already better than Favre and frankly I still don't see it.Watched the game today and honestly could not say that Rodgers had given my Packers a better chance than Favre would have.
Exactly. Favre is Peyton; Rodgers is Eli.I think Favre is better right now. Rodgers is a good QB, but he doesn't have "IT" yet. He doesn't seem like the kind of QB who can be the difference in the game yet. He makes mistakes under pressure.
you have got to be kidding .... that comparison is ridiculousExactly. Favre is Peyton; Rodgers is Eli.I think Favre is better right now. Rodgers is a good QB, but he doesn't have "IT" yet.

What Woodrow said.Wow...was shocked to see this 70% in favor of Rodgers. Really shows you how much Favre hate there is out there, and how much people didn't understand the significant of his injury last year on his fall off.
I agree 100% ... Rodgers, though, is farther along then SO MANY other qbs in only their second season starting. The guy is going to end up with numbers comparable to Carson Palmer season 2 ... who was pretty damn amazing before his knee injuryRodgers is damn good.Farve is damn amazing.

Both guys are excellent at throwing the ball... The difference between their performances boils down to getting rid of the ball. In 2007, Favre took 15 sacks for 93 yards. In 2008, Rodgers took 34 sacks for 231 yards. It's probably some combination of the inexperience of Rodgers and the supporting cast, but just about any Packer fan will tell you that Rodgers is holding onto the ball way too long right now. The whole offense in 2007 was based on Favre getting rid of the ball quickly on slants, etc. Not really sure why the Packers aren't running that style offense anymore, especially given their troubles with the O-Line.Compare these 2 QB lines for comp%, TD:INT, and YPA:QB1: 67% 28:15 7.3QB2: 64% 28:13 7.51 of them is Favre/2007 and the other is Rodgers/2008.

The last time Brett Favre was a Packer, they were 13-3. This is the same team that we've been told is the "youngest in the league." So now it sounds like you can take your supporting cast and blow smoke all over it for '07 and now you can be as critical as you like now that they've been revealed to suck. They sucked then too. And as far as being "100% confident," that doesn't have much sway with me because you and other Packer fans were "100% certain" that good ol' Bert Farve was gonna throw a bunch of Pick 6's to your superior cover corners and run those back in for TDs and cost the Vikes to be swept by the Pack this year, but that didn't happen. So what it looks like to me is sour grapes. Yeah, sour grapes. You obviously wish you had the old man back so he could be the one to take the blame when the Packers season falls short after he would have been forced to shoulder the whole team on his 40 year old shoulders, just like he did his whole career in Green Bay.Compare these 2 QB lines for comp%, TD:INT, and YPA:QB1: 67% 28:15 7.3Pretty much says it all.

I don't know what kind of math you use to explain how a team's W-L record would be drastically affected by the difference in those QB lines, let alone "say it all."What Minnesota fans are experiencing now is the good Brett Favre. The same one that led the 2007 Packers to the NFC title game. The same one that led the 2008 Jets to a 8-3 record. This Brett Favre is admittedly playing better than Aaron Rodgers right now. Its not that he has a better arm, or anything really physical over Rodgers. He just has a ton of experience. He's seen it all, and knows how to deal with every blitz. Add in a solid o line and ADP, and its a great situation for Favre.
What I am 100% confident in saying is that they will get the opportunity to experience the bad Brett Favre too. The same one that threw away the Divisional playoff game in 2003 to the Eagles. The same one that threw away the NFC title game to the Giants, and the same one that led the Jets astray down the stretch last year.
I respect the man's ability to play the game. He can be brilliant. This downward spiral has happened in each of the last 5 years however. Favre is now 40, and prepared less for this season than any of the others. Not seeing this coming is just being blind to what's in front of you.
In the first 11 games of the 2004 through 2008 seasons (55 games total), Favre completed 64.8 percent of his passes with 97 touchdown throws, 61 interceptions and an 89.1 passer rating. In the last five games of those seasons plus three playoff contests (28 total), he completed only 57.9 percent of his passes with 27 touchdowns, 46 interceptions and a meager passer rating of 66.3.
Enjoy it while you can.

Thank you, I've been enjoying it all season, but especially the last month where he swept the Pack, throwing SEVEN touchdowns and NO INTERCEPTIONS.
I won't argue that, but I also don't understand how the youngest team in the league can regress so much when the only significant turnover has been trading Favre away. In one year they went from 13-3 to 6-10. I think between some lucky breaks and Brett Favre magic, the team was never really as good as it looked.Favre definately is a huge upgrade over what they had in Minny last year, and he has made it very difficult to defend against the Vikes. He could be the missing piece to take them all the way...
But...
He would be doing nothing on GB the last two years. The defense regressed greatly from '07 - '08. And the offensive line is not the same as it was two years ago. Tauscher and Clifton aren't the same players they were two years ago. Tausher just got back with the team and is backing up due to knee injuries, and Clifton when not out due to injury has been a disaster this year.
Favre is playing great on Minnesota right now...but if you think throwing him behind center on GB would miraculously turn that team back into the 13-3 team from two years back you are fooling yourself.
They were a good team that year. But like I said, there defense has been poor since then. Last year they were just horrible. This year they'e just ok. If you ask any Packer fan what the biggest problem with this team is, they'll tell you it's the Offensive Line. Something that was a strength when Favre was in GB. Their two tackles have been in the league 10+ years and age caught up with them. TT's plan to groom replacements didn't quite work out.They weren't as good as advertised in 07, weren't as bad as advertised in '08....and right now are about what people think they are....an average teamI won't argue that, but I also don't understand how the youngest team in the league can regress so much when the only significant turnover has been trading Favre away.

Are you more concerned about numbers or wins(FF or real life)?I think a better comparison is to Phillip Rivers. Both players had to wait 3 seasons until they got the starting gig. Much different than saying his second year starting. They both could be better mentally prepared and used to the NFL in their 4th seasons.I agree 100% ... Rodgers, though, is farther along then SO MANY other qbs in only their second season starting. The guy is going to end up with numbers comparable to Carson Palmer season 2 ... who was pretty damn amazing before his knee injuryRodgers is damn good.Farve is damn amazing.

Flipside: Give Minnesota Green Bay's whack excuse of a 3-4 hat pulls pro bowl players out of position and Rodgers doesn't get touched at all over two games.

“We tried to put pressure on them with blitzes,” Packers cornerback Charles Woodson said. “And he either pointed them out and set the protection the right way, or threw the ball quick and we weren’t able to get to him. We felt like we had enough things called -- and still we can’t get to him for whatever reason."
The reason the team is regressing isn't just because the players forgot how to play, is because the decisions made this offseason are not panning out.Cullen Jenkins: “Basically, we have good players on this defense. We've got Pro Bowl players on this defense and they were sent to the Pro Bowl doing certain things. And they're not doing those things. It's tough. We have players who are good at doing stuff and we're not doing it. You want to win, and when you're not winning those things you start questioning, is it that people really want to win or they really want to accomplish another goal, just running what they want to run? I don't know. It's tough, though.”
Don't forget about Brooks, Chmura, then Ahman Green... IMHO the current cast for Green Bay is no better but not much worse than what Favre had in the late 90s. But, Favre was better then than Rodgers is now. Doesn't make Rodgers a bad QB by any stretch.My point is excuses.

Favre is just playing so well though.Back like 2007 and years before that. Where was this Brett for his last 5 or so years in GB though?RIght now, he is playing damn good...then again, Rodgers is the #1 rated QB right now.C. Carter on Mike and Mike today was saying that if you flipped the two QBs...put Rodgers in Minny and Favre in GB...things would be interesting. He did not think GB would be any better off because of the Oline and thought Minny would be right about the same with Rodgers.Pretty interesting.Or it shows you how much you don't understand the difference between the supporting casts. Either way.Wow...was shocked to see this 70% in favor of Rodgers. Really shows you how much Favre hate there is out there, and how much people didn't understand the significant of his injury last year on his fall off.What a difference having the ability to handoff to ADP and his running threat that opens up the passing game and having a better OL. He actually has NFL quality starting wrs this year. Don't forget Minny really good defense. Aikman touched on his belief that Favre did not want to play for the Packers. I wonder if he has some inside knowledge? I know everyone has turned this into a Favre vs Rodgers, but Rodgers right now is the better qb. Right now Minny is a better team than GB. Favre has the superior supporting cast.
13-3 might not have been as good as it looked. But they were also pretty lucky that year as far as health. Did not miss much.Injuries were nto the only reason for last year's record...Id put it down about #5 on the list of things that lead to the bad record.I won't argue that, but I also don't understand how the youngest team in the league can regress so much when the only significant turnover has been trading Favre away.

He would be doing nothing on GB the last two years. The defense regressed greatly from '07 - '08. And the offensive line is not the same as it was two years ago.

Tausher just got back with the team and is backing up due to knee injuries, and Clifton when not out due to injury has been a disaster this year.

Did you read the quotes from the players themselves? Maybe they weren't whining last season, but sure looks like the dam is breaking now.Scotty, your talk on the 3-4 is pretty funny.Kampman is slightly out of position...but Minny also did well with him.And the scheme seems to be doing some very good things with stopping the run this year. Pressure is what they hope will come, Mattews is proving to be pretty darn good at that though and getting in the backfield.But nobody thought it would be an overnight change in adapting to the 3-4...yet you expect it should be.The team regressed in the 4-3 last year...were you whining about the scheme then?
Not making any for him...he has to keep progressing and gain that pocket presence.He also needed to use his legs early in that game. He had the sideline and the first down on that drive after the bad snap turnover for the Vikings...he tried going for the TD and ended up getting sacked...they settled for the FG.2 of the what, 6 last night, were all on him. The other 4...not so much.But do you seriously think the line has been giving him enough time game in and game out?When are people going to be tired of making excuses for Aaron Rodgers?
You have been going on about the 3-4 before the year even started.And Jenkins should be complaining, he has been invisible. But don't blame the scheme for that.The only complaint should be about Kampman. Jenkins was supposedly excited about this move early on and was playing pretty well into it.But players will complain after a loss. Its expected...they are frustrated.But its 7 games in for this team and this scheme.There are bumps in the road for sure...but some aspects of it are working quite well at times.This defense is still better than last year's...even with the complaining, even with all of these people supposedly out of position.Did you read the quotes from the players themselves?

How is Rodgers winning the poll? Favre has beat the Packers twice in convincing fashion. What is Rodgers Win Loss record as a starter? Is winning not the object of the game at it's most basic level? Come on now, Ted Thompson must be voting multiple times here to save face, speaking of Ted Thompson, I wonder how stupid he's feeling today, probably more than usual if that's possible.![]()
Just wins?Well, I guess Vince Young is better than Aaron Rodgers...since he is something like 19-11 or 19-12 now.Rodgers is winning because the poll started a while ago.Record is part of it...but people actually take all aspects of the game into consideration when they voted.Right now, Favre is playing better and on a better team. But Rodgers is playing pretty darn well too (and has the #1 QB rating right now).Thompson probably is not feeling all that stupid...the QB he chose played pretty well.How is Rodgers winning the poll?

lets hope so, they were god awful last year. I think I saw Favre get hit once yesterday and that's against a line you like to say is bad in pass blocking.You have been going on about the 3-4 before the year even started.And Jenkins should be complaining, he has been invisible. But don't blame the scheme for that.Did you read the quotes from the players themselves? Maybe they weren't whining last season, but sure looks like the dam is breaking now.Scotty, your talk on the 3-4 is pretty funny.
Kampman is slightly out of position...but Minny also did well with him.
And the scheme seems to be doing some very good things with stopping the run this year.
Pressure is what they hope will come, Mattews is proving to be pretty darn good at that though and getting in the backfield.
But nobody thought it would be an overnight change in adapting to the 3-4...yet you expect it should be.
The team regressed in the 4-3 last year...were you whining about the scheme then?
The only complaint should be about Kampman. Jenkins was supposedly excited about this move early on and was playing pretty well into it.
But players will complain after a loss. Its expected...they are frustrated.
But its 7 games in for this team and this scheme.
There are bumps in the road for sure...but some aspects of it are working quite well at times.
This defense is still better than last year's...even with the complaining, even with all of these people supposedly out of position.
