I was only 7 when Aaron took over, so I don’t remember watching him play that season. I’m sure you’ve all seen the stat comparisons this week with Jordan and Aaron almost identical through 11 games as the full time starter. But I’ve heard over and over that people could tell right away that Aaron had “it” and that Jordan has looked bad. There has been some more positivity after the last couple weeks, but still a lot of skepticism about Jordan and his potential.
Given all that, what was Aaron doing differently that made him look so much more impressive to the fans?
Personally, I see more Brett Favre in Love than I do Aaron Rodgers minus his release. Aaron’s main goal was to limit turnovers as much as possible. Whether that meant taking a sack or throwing it away. Love kind of has that Gunslinger mentality where there is always a play to be made, just can be a little reckless. Kind of like Josh Allen
