Aaron Rodgers? - tsmalldon - 06-18-2008 01:22 PM
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 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.
