Brett Favre believes that Aaron Rodgers should have won a Super Bowl sooner with the talent he had. I honestly believe that he is a bitter man because Rodgers ability is leaps and bounds beyond anything Favre could produce. I also believe Aaron Rodgers didnt throw interceptions almost every time the game was on his shoulders during a final drive unlike Favre in New York and New Orleans. Hes better than you ever were Brett and Packers fans couldn't give a damn about missing you now. Crawl back into the sticks

Eh, I kind of read it as a compliment stating that Rodgers is that good that Favre was/is shocked Rodgers didn't accomplish it sooner.

Yeah, but then he goes and says A-Rod "fell into a good situation" and that "The talent around him is even better than when I was there. So I'm really kind of surprised it took him so long." He took an unnecessary shot at Rodgers and it's sad to see what Favre's become...

I believe it was taken totally out of context by the media , surprise surprise. They just want Rodgers-Favre drama.

[Ravens Beast]

When he said the team is "even better than when I was there." that is a compliment.

Taken out of context of course.

Media can't go a week without scraping more drama out from under something.

Favre is sitting on his tractor waiting for calls from Indy and Minneapolis.

To be honest GB probably could have won 2 years ago if their defense was any better. Remember that shootout in the desert? Yeah Rodgers missed Jennings deep to win the game, but GB's defense is what held them back.

Seeing how he was guilt tripped into playing last year, I seriously doubt it.

I heard the sound bite last night on the way home and I have to agree that is was meant as a compliment. It wasn't stated in the best way but what I think he meant was that he thought Rodgers was good enough to win a super bowl sooner. With football being a team sport Rodgers can only do so much.

I doubt it too but his ego might kick in and hope they do call.

Typical non-story blown into a drama by the media. I don't think highly of Favre as a person but I don't think this was a personal shot at Rodgers.

[ravensdfan]

I kind of thought it was a compliment as well. Favre isn't exactly well spoken and all that.

No worries because the Pack has a nice set up by the NFL scheduling gods to represent the NFC once again this year. I mean, outside of the Chargers do they face anyone with a winning record? Oh...my bad...the Falcons wooo hooo. Please.
