Here's some interesting stuff from Peter King's Monday Morning Quarterback column in Sports Illustrated this morning:

What I Learned About Football This Week That I Didn't Know Last Week

Aaron Rodgers throws with more velocity now than Favre does.

Not my opinion; it's the opinion of Greg Jennings, who caught balls from Favre his first two years in the league and is in his first season with Rodgers. It goes against the grain of everything we've heard about Favre, who we still think of as Mr. Fastball, and the supposedly average-armed Mister Rodgers.

"Brett threw a variety of balls,'' Jennings told me the other day. "His biggest thing was his ability to lead you into where he wanted you with something on the ball. The biggest difference between Brett and Aaron now is Brett threw with a lot of touch. Don't get me wrong. He had some times when he could really throw it hard. If he was trying to drill one in there, he would gun it. Aaron throws with a lot of velocity, a little more velocity, with good timing.''

The one thing, naturally, Jennings is still establishing with Rodgers is chemistry. "Brett anticipates a lot sooner,'' Jennings said. "He's been playing so long, been around defenses so long, that he dissects defenses quicker. He probably knows where he's going with the ball earlier than Aaron.''

And Jennings sees one other difference, from the Packer huddle.

"Brett's a little more loose in there. You know, not that Aaron's tight; he's fine. But Brett was passing gas in the huddle.''

Yeah..

"Anticipates a lot sooner...AND passes gas in the huddle".

Beat that, Mr. Rodgers.

That's an experience thing, obviously the first thing lol

HOF quarterbacks can't fart because their poop don't stink. :wickedfart:

I liked Favre's on-field persona as much as anybody, but maybe it's time we had a little more intensity in the huddle. Too many late game turnovers off careless passes. Too many 2 minute drills where we didn't manage the clock well and ran out of time. Playing loose is good, but sometimes playing 100% focused is better.

I'd like to add something.
