That statement is so wrong on so many levels I can't take it seriously. If you are being sarcastic, then follow your own rule. If you are being a dick because you're mad about something I said recently, at least have the decency to admit to it.

Exactly! If Aaron hadn't had fallen into a great situation of those Brett-made receivers and able to sit and watch Brett, a future hall of famer, he would not have put up close to those numbers in '08. Brett on the Packers in '08 would have been 11 - 5 with three playoff wins.

Compare Favres '08 season with his 24 turnovers and 81 rating. Since he was hurt and refused to come out, he would not have improved the record of The Packers and more likely would have made it worse. Since the losses they did have were mostly due to the D and ST failures.

The best way to compare would be side by side. Playing on the same team and against the same opponent on the same day.

That did happen in '07 against Dallas. Favre started the game, threw 2 picks and was knocked out of the game after 20 minutes where he posted a rating under 10. Rodgers came in, threw 2 TDs and posted a rating over 100.

Rodgers did light it up in the '07 preseason and had a rating over 98.

Cowboys were prepared for a statue QB, not a mobile QB. That changes things whether you understand how Rodgers fell into a good situation against the Cowboys or not.

Quit trying to compare apples to oranges to bananas. It's not a good situation to fall into.

Not even considering that Favre didn't want to be here in Green Bay and wouldn't have played with any passion. It would have probably been worse than the '06 season.

The only comment Aaron Rodgers would have is he'd be surprised it took Brett Favre that many years to put together a 13+ win regular season record.

Like the conjecture that Favre would have had a better '08 season in Green Bay than Rodgers?
