I think the BRETT FAVREs Oline is better, but not consistent. And looking at the stats, I think the WRs even themselves out... Rice & Harvin are pretty on par with Driver & Jennings. You guys have more depth at TE, so I give you that edge. Our RBs, statistically are only a tiny bit better than yours.. But it's pretty obvious that once you factor historically, we have the superior RB corp.
Favre uses his TE.. There's really only one the team as a whole uses (the backups are blocking TEs more than anything else), and that's Shiancoe. When compared to Finley, they are comparable.. But it's silly to imply that Favre doesn't use his TE this year as he would if he had the Packers TEs.. (BTW, Shank has 10 TDs, you guys have a total of 5 for the TE position).
I do agree with you on Berrian and Favre's chemistry. That can be attributed to Berrian's glass legs (he was injured all of pre-season and most of the first half of the season), though. I think Rice would be more comparable to Driver than Berrian, considering the chemistry Rice and Favre have (even after a handful of games to get in tune).

I'm very impressed with Rice and Harvin but I'm also very impressed with Driver and Jennings. Those 2 are a wash. You talk about Berrian's injury, well, it's an injury. I'd take a healthy James Jones over an injured Berrian. Plus, we got a 4th guy in Jordy Nelson who is consistently good. So I'd take our WR corps over yours.
I'll also take our TE corps over yours. I'm going to disagree with just about every Packers fan here, but I heart Lee. Everyone else seems to hate the guy. He was a stud under Favre. Rodgers simply has a different style and doesn't use him at all. I don't think anyone would argue that Finley isn't a stud. He's tits.
Yes, I do like Shank too, but that's one guy. We got 2. Despite the 5 vs 10 TDs, I'd still take our TEs. Has nothing to do with them and everything to do with Aaron's style vs Brett's.
You do have a superior RB corps. I'm not going to argue that if we're talking historically. If we're talking this year, I'd take Grant's consistency over AP's fumbleitis as AP, who was the best RB in the NFL before Chris Johnson came along, seems to fumble at the worst possible times.
That comeback by Favre against da Bears reminded me of Rodgers last year, how Rodgers would engineer a brilliant comeback only to see someone else blow it. Last year, it was Rodgers coming back then the D would blow it. Well against da Bears, it was AP once again fumbling at the worst possible time.
What really irked me about that is it cost Favre a shot at winning his 4th MVP. You probably already caught on, but I'm rooting for Favre to win the MVP but the Packers to win the Super Bowl, as I have been all year long.
Anyways, back to your RBs, Chester Taylor is a stud. Favre loves him and knows exactly how to use him. I'd much rather have Taylor on the Packers than Jackson, Green, and Wynn put together. Heck, let's do a trade. Just kidding. Would never happen because Taylor's chemistry with AP is not replaceable and Taylor is a genuine football player - more concerned with winning than his own personal agenda. He's glad to be #2 behind AP.
