Tonight will be a major step for Aaron and how he will be judged on his first year by Packer Fans.
Chico has had to break off many tags that have been put on him by some Packer Fans as he has endured his first year behind center.
1. He is a light weight, made of glass, and will never go through a season without missing games due to injuries.
This was flying around Green Bay all off season. Ever since he broke a bone in his foot in Dallas, then was injured again, and especially when he first injured his shoulder this year.
I think he has ripped off that tag.
2. He has no leadership qualities.
This crap started after he called out the O line in a game a few years ago, then made the famous comment about the fans getting on board.
I think he has ripped off the NO Leadership Tag.
3. He does not have the arm strength of the former Q.B.
I read that so many times, my God people are silly.
I know he ripped that arm strength tag.
4. He's from Chico California, the kid will never be able to play in the cold.
He already has, and played well.
BUT TONIGHT...
I pray he will play great in the cold again- IN CHICAGO and blow them away by 38 points.... I will gladly wait til next year for him to pull off the 5th tag...
YOU KNOW... The Game Winning Drive with less than 2 minutes left.
Tonight is going to put a cap on a great year for the Kid From Chico.
The future of this kid is racing along faster than he can pull off the tags that some Packer Fans have labeled him with.

Good post, RP.
1. Proven wrong. :)
2. Not his fault that our D keeps blowing leads.
3. Proven wrong. :)
4. Well, people who think this don't know Chico. We were a 10 minute drive from snow and Chico winters are a heck of a lot more harsh than SF Bay Area winters. It's because the rain is fierce. You cannot own an umbrella for an entire winter in Chico. Chico rips umbrellas to shreds. You will see a lot of broken umbrellas in the downtown garbage cans in Chico.
It occasionally snows as well, but not often.
Let me tell you about Chico storms.
Last winter (January 2008), we had a storm so fierce it took down a 30-year-old tree with deep roots and it fell on the neighbor's house. This was a completely healthy tree too. Two winters before, the creek flooded and the houses immediately by the creek had flood damage. We were far enough away that we got secondary effects - a rat infestation. Not fun.
Chico's not exactly a town for lightweights. Summers extremely hot, winters not really cold, but storms can be brutal.
EDIT: Wanted to add - for those of you who ski/snowboard, Chico's only 45 minutes from the slopes. š
