For those that say he's played well, led them to 13-3,etc., I agree he played well this year. But remember the game vs. Skins, ST got 2 but also dropped 2 int.s. Remember the dallas game, Rodgers came in & played better than Farve & got them back in the game. He's still good but is he as good as Rodgers might be by the end of next year? That's the question you have to answer if you're the packers. Despite Farve's iron man appearance, all older players wear out by season's end & I believe he did too.

I understand what you're saying but to be honest with you I really can't see Rodgers beating Favre as the starter. I especially don't think Rodgers could take the youngest team in the NFL the same way Favre would. He would have to go through a lot of those "Growing Pains" since it would be his first year as a starter. You're right though he did play well against Dallas and even better then Favre was playing that night but every QB has there bad days. Against the Skins he threw 2 int's but 2 is the most he threw in any game what about Peyton Manning who threw 6 or 5 against the Chargers that doesn't mean he should loose his job. I think the bottom line is that almost every Packers fan wants Favre back wether he has another great year or not. I think Packers fans are loyal to him for everything he's done. I guarantee A LOT less people would watch the Packers without Favre. If he's on the roster we want to see him start. I like the comment about him being like Michael Jordan on how he will be missed and I think that's excatly how it would be with Packers fan the Packers just won't be the same without him he pretty much is the Packers... just my opinion as a Packers fan...
