Aaron Rodgers - Can he fill in Favre's considerable shoes?

There is no doubt; Rodgers' shoes are still bigger!!

Perhaps Aaron Rodgers (filling for traded Brett Favre) and Matt Cassel (filling in for injured Tom Brady) should enjoy an afternoon coffee together and share season war stories on how they carried a load of charge on their backs for the 2008-2009 campaign.

Aaron Rodgers complemented a few matters Brett Favre (on the odd occasion) did in his ending scarce caducity in Immature Bay on Monday night, rushing for antecedent downs and pushing into the end belt on a quarterback sneak to nuzzle a 24-19 victory over the Minnesota Vikings.

Given all the episode show of Favre's stepping down account at the alpha of familiarity camp, Rodgers was cooperate to shop for his first regular-season start out of the way. Still, he gives the idea to be living it up as the starter.

For those who witnessed last Monday (8th) eventide Football and proverb Rodgers running absent of the tunnel; looking positive, assured and assertive, into the captivating atmosphere, was actually something to remember, specially after 4 extensive years for Aaron. Rodgers hang out most of the past three seasons backing up Favre after the Packers drafted him in the first round in 2005 and passed his anterior essential test Monday, going 18-of-22 for 178 yards with passing and rushing touchdowns.

He was not alone, got guidance from punt returner Testament Blackmon, safety Atari Bigby and running back Ryan Grant to claim the Packers' fifth straight victory in a harsh division rivalry, one that became much amassed extreme, when the Packers accused the Vikings of messing encircling with the then retired Favre in the offseason, an allegation that was dismissed by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, however hardly let of by either side.

It is hard to describe a true Green Bay fan why he or she should trust Rodgers to guide this duo thru a ace season, especially after so many years in Favre's shadow. Brett has inclined the Packers fans 16 agedness of astonishing memories, a Super Bowl championship among them that will breathing on forever. Brett's many accomplishments on the area are legendary. He leaves the team holding virtually every career passing record, plus his consecutive starts streak, which may never be duplicated. Favre is now playing for the New York Jets and Rodgers seems to have won over the fans, at least for this week. Can we ask for a little understanding and patience from the fans for the moment? Or maybe we as sports fans should interrogate ourselves... why does it always come to a single man in a group of at least 45?

The dope is that this is not about Brett Favre anymore... we yet believe he is and will be one of the greatest QBs in NFL history, on the other hand this is a new chapter and it is about Aaron Rodgers now!! We hope Brett Favre has a successful year as a Jet. Having that said, we conjecture Aaron Rodgers can cook what Favre did ultimate year and that he can haul this team yet further as long as he stays arctic under pressure.
