The scorned veteran may well do it, too. And Rodgers may feel utterly rotten about it. In the end, however, hell leave the Metrodome as the unquestioned leader of a team fully committed to following him, and one with a fan base more supportive of its new quarterback than it was before.

If you still dont believe me, I suggest we meet up at Lambeau Field for the Nov. 1 rematch and assess the situation. The protective cocoon will be rocking to its foundation, and nearly 73,000 devoted fans will be screaming unambiguously for Rodgers to bust out and soar.

Michael Silver draws parallels between the Joe Montana/Steve Young game 15 years ago. Great article.

Incredible article. It pointed out some very nice things to read regarding the effect this game will have on the team, regardless of outcome. I hope it rings true for Green Bay as much as it did for San Francisco.

(I still desperately want to win though.)

He'll benefit from this game just like he benefits from every start he makes. I don't put anymore into it than that. I don't believe there is any sort of monkey on Rodgers back at this point, other than notching up a winning season, and then his first playoff win. But those are the same monkeys that every QB has on their back, regardless of the history of how they became the starter.
The article is well written and does draw some interesting conclusions, I just don't buy into them that much. Seems more that it has to do with how the game will impact Packers nation, not the team itself.

I agree. It's another start. If the Packers win, he gets to enjoy it, as he does any win.
Would it mean even more to him? I bet it would. But win or lose, it's not the end of the world for either team. The season is STILL young, and lots can happen between now and the end of the year.

Agreed, I think it would be huge for his morale with a win this week. I expect very good things from him the rest of the season if we win on Monday. I know he has been playing well but I think this game will really help him grow as a player.

It was a great article. Funny thing is, I can see Vikes fans agreeing that it was an excellent article and also get pumped for the game by reading it. That's what makes the NFL great.

And Tezzy, I think you have to be a little naive to think that this game doesn't mean any more than any other game. C'mon man!

Silver is very hit or miss. Sometimes I want to strangle the guy, and sometimes I think he's right on.

This one I agreed with.

What people outside of San Francisco didn't see was the love for Montana. I don't think Favre in GB got the same love. I seriously don't. Packer fans don't love Favre half as much as Niner fans love Montana.

But even with the Joe love, Steve was loved too. The anger was directed at the front office, not either of the players.

I don't remember what the love was like for Montana in SF, but I know it was big. However, Favre's was huge. Maybe not the Packer fans in Milwaukee or elsewhere, but in Green Bay, Favre was king. He could've retired, ran for congress and got elected in a landslide. Favre meant everything to this city and I'm sure he will again someday.

I know a lot of Montana fans and Favre fans. Judging from that body of work, that statement holds water as well as a strainer. Packers fan's grew a helluva stronger bond for Favre than Montana. Don't believe that? Go through all the hardships that Favre endured, and Packers fans endured with him. Tragedies bring people together, whether it's face to face or indirect.

I think he was saying after he left. Montana was still loved by the fans after he left, while Favre left a bitter taste in a lot of packer fans mouths.
