Sarcasm off now, here's my take:
Rodgers>Favre

40 year old Favre is a little better than 26 year old Rodgers even in his wide open offense that is geared to make a QB a star.

1995 season Favre? That man was on fire. Can't argue much with that. Although he wasn't way better. He was slightly better.
I don't know if 40 year old Favre is better than Rodgers.
And I'm pretty sure that second season Favre wasn't even close to Rodgers. Not by a long shot.

I say way better. Look at the offense they ran back then vs the wide open spread they run today. I just don't see Rodgers putting up 39 td's in that offense back then, or anyone else in the nfl today for that matter. No way, IMO. Lots of I formation, 2 back sets, 2 receivers and 1 or 2 TE's, less down field options.
Also, this was Rodgers 5th season. Favre playing those first 2 or 3 years only forced him to go through the growing pains while trying to win games and make the playoffs, which he did. There is much evidence that a good qb who sits and watches will perform very well when given his chance and avoid growing pains. Top of my head, Hasselbeck, Rodgers, Cassell, S. Young, Culpepper.
