This debate will rage until the end of mankind. So let me make it simple for all of us - Favre fans, Rodgers' fans. Packer fans. Old and young. The rational (like me) and the idiots (you know who you are). Got these already-prepared stats from someone online. The game of football is about wins and losses, correct? Fine. Now put down the kool-aid the Packer GM "the Reverend" Ted Thompson gave you and let's talk "wins" and "losses", dear hearts...16 years before Brett Favre: Packers were 97-143-2; 3 winning seasons, 0 Playoffs
16 years with Brett Favre: Packers were 161-95; 13 winning seasons, 11 Playoffs
1 Year after Brett Favre: Packers are 5-9; 0 winning seasons, 0 Playoffs
I realize it's too early in his career to judge current Packer QB Aaron Rodgers - and I should be fair. My beef was never with Rodgers but with Green Bay management who just threw away a 13-3 regular season last year for spite, control and ego. Statistically, Rodgers had a good year. But we all know stats can be skewed, and a good year for Rodgers did not translate into a good year for the Packers.
And after all, no one person is bigger than the team, right Packer fans?
0 for 5 or 6 in games decided by 5 points or less. You play to WIN the game!

Its a team game, quit trying to make it a Favre versus Rodgers. I know you like to b/c it feeds your passion for hating Thompson, etc...but please leave out the QB position, b/c it has nothing to do with the Packers current state of affairs.
Rodgers isn't CLOSING games. and if you-read my post, i give Rodgers some credit. in the end, it's about wins and losses. 5-10 is not a pathetic season compared to 13-3. big, BIG step backwards.
ReplyDeleteand considering what happened in the off-season, the QB comparisons are inevitable. TT can suck my schlong!
