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?
The biggest difference is that 12 was throwing to vets and wasn’t surrounded by the youngest team in the league. GB has always been a draft and develop team, they just don’t usually have a whole team of 1st and 2nd year players.
Yep. 2007 Packers were 13-3, and if anything the packers should have won 9 or 10 games a year later. Lost a lot of 1 score games along with overtime games. 6-10 was not a very accurate record for the 2008 packers.
