I agree but he was celebrating like someone who was happy about more than the W... he doesn't like someone in GB.

 

Of course he was. Anyone would be. Any player facing his old team is going to be a little more happy about the W.

Especially for a guy who isn't a top 15 QB.

 

Love it!! :thumb:

I have AP on my fantasy and I won by 2 pts. Go AP.

That guy just loves to play football, he would probably play for free.

 

Yet, year after year, he can't decide if he wants to play...:idunno:

 

It makes no sense.

Favre pretty much stuck it to his old team this season, he looks real good. The Packers offensive line is terrible, it's hard to belive that Rodgers hasn't missed any action.

 

There were questions about his durability before he took over the job...I think the fact that he's remained healthy with that line is a clear answer. Rodgers is more athletic than expected. And he's pretty fast for a pocket passing QB. I like him, I think he's fun to watch.

I agree that Rogers has turned into a very good NFL QB. VERY good.

 

As far as Favre, I hope this settles it between he and GB. He obviously appreciated his time there. But let's be honest, the GB fans would boo nearly any QB for another team, ... especially in their division. But it is hard for them to see him in another uniform, and still playing well at 104 years old.

 

It is obvious that Favre still has a passion for the game and a cannon arm. He is in the perfect situation in Minnesota with a great RB, solid line and good defense. He carried the Packers for many years and they KNOW that during that time they don't have 2 SB trips and 1 SB title without him.

 

It is funny that they way the Packers and Favre handled the situation made it this contentious. Look at the way the 49ers fans still LOVED Montana, even after he went to KC and took them to the AFC title game. They still understood and appreciated what he did during his time in San Fran.

Obviously those two situations played out differently. Montana's play had declined, and he was injury prone. That allowed Young to play, and everyone saw that at that point he was a better QB than Montana.

 

In Favre's case, he was coming off one of his best seasons, but he continued his indecisiveness and the Packers decided to move on. Obviously, they felt they had their guy in Rodgers, but none of us knew what to expect...Rodgers, IMO, has done perhaps the most difficult thing in sports. Follow a legend.

 

I think this Favre/Packers circus will eventually fade away and the fans will get over it and welcome him back at some point. I'm not as certain that Favre will ever get over it.

 

However, I believe the way this has played out has helped Green Bay and Aaron Rodgers. Rodgers has played well from the start, which helped to win some of the fans over at the beginning. Since then, the fact that Favre has become a villain has taken some pressure from him, IMO. Rather than nitpicking Rodgers and comparing him to their beloved Favre in every detail, its allowed Packers fans to rally behind him and support him because he isn't Favre, the villain.

 

Just a thought.

Watching AP cut is liking watching olf films of the "Kansas Comet." Uncanny.

Isn't Favre in Minnesota just another example of the futility of drafting WR's when you don't have a QB? Look at Sidney Rice. An afterthought before, now he's a big time producer at the position.

 

You absolutely have to have a QB to compete in the NFL...you can win with "solid" QB play, but you have to be exceptional to dominant somewhere else, typically on the defensive side.

 

Tennessee went 13-3 with Kerry Collins because of a great offensive line, rushing attack, and a very good defense. Baltimore and Tampa Bay won Super Bowls with adequate QB play and dominating defense.

 

Conversely, Indianapolis has been to the playoffs like 7 or 8 straight seasons despite changes and turnover nearly everywhere except QB. In a league where games are frequently decided in the last 5 minutes, an elite QB is the difference between a 5-6 win season and a 5-6 loss season. They can easily be the difference in 4, 5 or 6 games in a season...look at Cincinnati. Carson Palmer has been the difference between a 5-2 and a 2-5 start.

Rodgers, IMO, has done perhaps the most difficult thing in sports. Follow a legend.

That is one of the most astute observations I have ever read. I couldn't agree more.

 

5wide, I nominate you as official "BGP analyst"! :notworthy:
