Rodgers held the ball too long. He couldn’t come back against any good teams. Wasn’t/couldn’t win a big game. The standard stuff for new qbs in the league.

Right out of the gate he didn’t turn the ball over like Favre, for that alone, half the Packers fan base was on board with the guy.

Anyone who says they weren’t a believer was probably a Favre apologist. The Packer were also a different franchise then. Before Favre there was nearly thirty years of bad teams, a lot, and I mean a lot of people in the city of green bay were worried a downfall was coming again and that was why Favre was wanted by a lot of fans. As the season progressed and Favre had his typical(at the time, he would get good again Minnesota) playing through injuries and turning the ball over a lot season, more fans were won over by Rodgers.

To quote myself in 2008, “When Aaron throws a deep ball and on the television copy you can’t see the guy he’s throwing to, in that moment when ball is in the air, you expect our guy to be on the other side and catch it. When it was Favre and that ball was in the air, you were just hoping it wasn’t picked.” That was the big difference in my eyes.

QB Killer

Hell yeah. Minimum eight peat upcoming.

It’s ok to have fun being a fan.

hubie is an absolute chad. legend.

Wait, people are complaining about the offense running the ball? My main gripe is we don’t run enough.

I agree it’s not an exclusive green bay issue. My comment is that it’s got to be more prevalent for the green bay front office than other teams.

1. the draft is a crapshoot. even the “obvious” picks don’t become obvious until 2 years later usually.
2. the green bay packers are not like any other franchise in american sports, we as fans are not privvy to how many players walk into the meetings at the combine and simply say, “i don’t want to live in green bay and if you draft me i will leave as soon as i can.” i can guarantee that the packers hear that more than any other pro sports team in the us.
