Ignore that it's Colin Cowherd and answer this ... does he make a point?

Ignore the extremely stupid shock jock that throws every theory at the wall, praying something will stick? Cowherd was hoping to become Bayless and he's failing!

Question: Is Rodgers becoming Favre?
Answer: IMO quite clearly a HELL NO!

Rodgers is doing what Rodgers has always done... ignored the check downs, hold onto the ball forever, betting on his legs and mobility to hold the ball until someone comes extra open down field for him to make a fairly safe throw.

Favre is similar in throws down field (what top 10 NFL QB doesn't?) and maybe AT TIMES ignored the check down (lots of passes to RB Green, FB Henderson, and TE Franks) ... but Favre would also hit the check downs a lot more often, Favre bet on his arm strength, not his mobility, and Favre sure as hell didn't wait until someone came extra open... the guy could be tripled covered and if Favre thought he could fit the ball in, he'd pull the trigger!

We haven't even seen Rodgers pull the trigger on tight single coverage that often this season... he holds it and wait for something better... (then throws the ball away or gets sacked, because no one is open in his eyes). Where with Favre, someone was ALWAYS OPEN!

To say their playing styles are similar is simply ridiculous! As they're closer to being complete opposites... other than big strong arms and willing to run, great QBs that play for the Packers. But Favre was a gambler, he was gonna make something huge happen, you didn't always know for which team, but something big was gonna happen! Rodgers is the guy that won't check it down, but he's also not gonna gamble...

I think the real question here:

Is Colin Cowherd becoming Nerd?
😂😂😂😂

Even before i saw this the thought flashed through my mind and as beast said I decided the answer is no for so many reasons.

The only correlation I can see between the two is QB doing what they want at the line of scrimmage and during the play. Rodgers would rather get hit by a mack truck than throw an interception whereas Favre didn't give two shits. Favre's mindset was you don't get any big plays if you don't take a chance here and there.

imo, Rodgers still takes chances, just in different ways with different results. Every time he attempts to scramble and buy time, he's taking a chance at hitting a big play. He may end up throwing it away, but the whole point of buying the time is a big play. It's still taking chances because he may be passing up short gains, may get sacked, or injured rather than throwing multiple interceptions.
