Does anyone believe that Rodgers and Martin being close friends had nothing to do with Martin getting a fair shot at earning a roster spot?

I think that dynamic is weighed.
I always felt that Favre was a bit "Sharpe-centric". I understood it...friendship, TRUST, etc. (Loved both of them-not going there to fiasco watchers)
One of the things I saw in Favre that I hope to see in Rodgers is the vast improvement in the ability to rapidly go through his progressions.
I have stated in the past that I feel that Rodgers is half-way there, and half-way is an excellent way of putting it, in that my sense is that Rodgers consistently sees about half of the receivers...it is but an opinion, but I think some well-respected analysts have seen this as well.
I am thrilled with the kind of tough decisions that GBP mgmt are going to have to make this off-season regarding our wide receiver corps. It is my kind of problem.
Just to throw this in, my whole Crabtree bitch was mostly about fixing needs on the DL and OL. I was very harsh against him as a person, player, etc. I believed about 25% of the shit I wrote. I just have so much faith in the future of this corps of receivers that I saw absolutely no need for him, contrasted with a profoundly significant need as was addressed in this draft.
We have a high degree of interchangeability in that corps of receivers.
My personal feeling is that their production hinges far more on Rodgers development than theirs. I like that concept as well. Rodgers passed my personal two packs of cigs during game test with flying colors consistently last year. I don't have a stat for it, but my lungs appreciated it. :thumbleft:
