The schism in your wife’s family is happening all over Wisconsin and Packer fans, but the Chico boy Rodgers will do good. By the end of the year he will have the packer fans eating out of his hands. That kid is going to be a head ache for the NFC North for the next ten years or more. My guess is he will retire with a couple SB trophies.
Hate to admit it, but he is real good. He is better than Favre ever was. Favre was always real easy to rattle, that is why he never did very well in the Dome. Too loud and then the defense would do the rest and before long he was throwing ints to the wrong players.
Remember, a majority of the Packers seasons ended with Favre throwing interceptions as he tried to do it all. He never has been a real good team player, he has always been about Favre. The antics he pulled this past summer and the way he skipped training camp just to join after he saw we had a good team after the first Pre-season game says it all.
I will have to cheer him as I said, but mark my words, by the 10th game of the season he will be forcing things and losing games, just as he did with the Jets last year and the Packers in their last NFC championship game.
I am afraid that the Packer fans will be having the last laugh as Rodgers wins the division and takes them farther than Favre does the Vikings.
Ask me after the season starts and I will deny I said any of this. As a matter of fact, this comment will self destruct at the beginning if the season when I become a dies hard swallow the Kool-aid Viking again and I again lose all sense of objectivity.
I am after all a Viking to my death.
Go Vikings!
Having watched Rodgers playing youth football and high school football (he played youth football with my sons), I’m not so optomistic about his long term career. We’ll have to wait and see. He also has a tendency to become rattled in the pocket, but that might go away with experience. It will also depend upon the tools he has in his running backs and receivers. A QB can’t do everything as evidenced by Farve’s post-season performances.
Wow. Proclaiming Aaron Rogers a sure shot HoFer with a grand total of one full season behind center? A guy with 59 passes in the NFL prior to last season. Led his team to a grand total of 6 victories last year.
But I know what you’re really up to. Trying to get the pack to be overconfident. Very clever.
Just a question OneVike - you stated throwing int’s to the wrong players. How do you throw an int to the right player? ;-)
