Ben Goessling, Minnesota Vikings: I’ll preface this by saying that Favre probably never had the set of weapons -- or the freedom in the Packers’ offense -- that Rodgers enjoys now. But I’d have to take Rodgers over his predecessor. He throws a better deep ball, he’s more dangerous (though probably not quite as creative) on the run and most importantly, he doesn’t kill you with crucial interceptions the way Favre could. It’s easy to praise Favre’s improvisational skills and overlook how smart he was, how good he was at slinging it over the middle and how much more traditional of a West Coast scheme the Packers played back then. Rodgers, though, is probably performing at a level of efficiency Favre never reached.
