"Surprised he didn't win one sooner." Trying to win us back over.

Edited by Zero2Cool...

I’m going to be honest, I was not surprised. The biggest surprise to me would be that he didn’t do it sooner. It’s funny how people can get over time, my last year in Green Bay prior to the first game, I made the remark that this was probably the most talented team that I’ve ever played on. And of course everyone looked up and was like ‘this guy’s off his rocker.’ We were very, very young; take me out of the mix and we were by far the youngest team in the league. But I could see the talent pool across the board was outstanding. Now our season kind of ended up being a reflection of that. We came close, and I think we took a lot of people by surprise, but guys emerged rather quickly. Aaron had a chance…even though the last couple years it’s seemed like he’s almost a rookie, he’s been around awhile. And I’d like to think that he watched, he learned, and then when he got a chance to play, he brought in his ability which is obviously very good or they wouldn’t have drafted him in the first round. He’s got tremendous talent, he’s very bright and he got a chance to watch and see successful teams do it right. And so he just kind of fell into a good situation. On top of that, he’s a good player. I don’t think there’s any pressure on him now, the talent around him is even better than when I was there. So I’m really kind of surprised it took him so long. In the early part of last year season, it hadn’t quite clicked yet and I didn’t know it would. I just kind of figured when they hit their stride, they’re going to be hard to beat. And that’s what happened.

Reading Brett's comments, sounds kind of ... like he's not wanting to give Aaron Rodgers much respect. Saying there is more talent now than when he was playing with the Packers and saying he's surprised he didn't do it sooner ... I'm just not sure how to take that.

Hey Grizz, nice win by your special teams last week. They could of just kept Orton and been the same. Do you think the boys can bring it and beat the Kitties with bigger teeth this year on Monday night?

In listening to the interview Brett is Brett. He always seems "pained" when he talks.
As if he's not sure he is getting across the thought he wants to get across.I believe he always had trouble talking about other GB QBs. At least it seemed that way to me. And because of his and Aaron's situation at the end it's magnified. This team did/does have more talent than he had except for the SB year. But this team won the SB with, probably, less talent(because of injuries).

Favre seemed complimentary, to me. There was no backhandedness to his words, and it is apparent in the mp3.
