Favre and Rodgers

Most of us Packer fans have kept an eye on Brett over these opening games of this NFL season. We hated that he left the way he did. We felt bad about it and were not very happy with what appeared to be his presumptuousness.

How would a prime athlete hold up with little or no active conditioning program during the off-season?

How would a declining talent be rejuvenated?

How would the drag of all the in-season preparations feel once the newness of being with a new team wears off?

How would the cold weather affect those older joints in his hands and knees?

By the end of October, the answer to those questions should begin to be defined.

With Aaron, the questions are also still not fully answered.

While he has proved he can play with great pain, has he proved he can hold up for a whole season?

As some of the better teams prepare for the Packers, will they now have enough of a body of Rodger's work to be better prepared for him and thus be able to make him look like the first year QB he is?

Will his smaller hands make it harder for him to function in the colder weather he will encounter after the bye?

Let's hope both do well during the rest of the season. It will be interesting to watch.
