Whats everyone think of him?

solid season or season ending injury in week 1?

I think he will have an average season like 60%, 20 td's 3200yds something like that

aaron rodgers reminds me of david carr.

Aaron Rodgers will fail because he is the heir to the Favre Kingdom. No one can fill those shoes so it will take a few years for the expectations to die down and they can have a new king.

I think that'd be a pretty successful season for him!

It seems like the first guy after a legend never really pans out. Todd Collins after Jim Kelly. Jay Fiedler after Dan Marino (although I was a fan). Bubby Brister and Brian Griese after John Elway. But then again, there was Jeff Garcia after Steve Young, and, well, Steve Young after Joe Montana. Usually, the pressure IS a legitimate factor, but with Rogers, he's been around for so long, he's in more of a Tony Romo-type spot than, say, a David Carr spot. This is a well-developed team and Rogers is very familiar with the system. I think a mid 3,000, 20-ish TD season is realistic, but in reality, that's an above average season!

good point..its not like rodgers is a rookie getting thrown into action right away...hes been waiting for this moment for quite some time and i think he will do well. its hard to compare him to carr though bc green bays o line is much better than houstons.
