In your dreams, could you imagine him as a Panther, with the skill players to throw to?

(and I think the writer meant IMPERIOUS.  If you're gonna spout uncommon words, learn how to use 'em right.)

..."Momma, hand me that dictionary..."

Can you imagine selling the Franchise down the river trying to surround Rodgers with enough talent to win a Super Bowl, with all of our issues, and hoping that he can keep his stupid mouth shut long enough to keep everyone playing together hard enough to win a Super Bowl?

I was dreaming, not imagining.  And, of course, what you just described is exactly what the Packers are doing, isn't it?.

To be fair, most people liked Favre.

General consensus regarding Aaron Rodgers is that he's an a--hole.

A few years ago my sister worked with kids with cancer.  There was a dying teenager who loved the Packers.  Someone in her office had an in with the team.  Her cousin was on training staff (or something like that).  She asked if he would ask Farve would host the kid...get the kid and parents some tickets.   Answer was that Farvre is an ass not even worth asking him for anything.  The inside guy went to someone else on the team, who agreed and  gave the kid a wonderful experience. ( Was not Make a Wish because the kid had just turned 18)

So...just telling this story because seems like Farve also had a bad rep with some of the people he worked with.  The two..Rogers and Farve may have some things in common.

That wouldn't surprise me all that much.

Public image and private image are all too often very different things. Heck, there are plenty of people who think Dan Marino is a nice guy.

Lafluer's going to be out of a job in three years if they get rid of Rodgers. Jordan Love is three years away from being three years away.

I was going to say, lol.

I spent a lot of my teenage years on the Mississippi Gulf Coast where Favre is from. When it comes to Brett (and his family), there are quite a few people on the coast who don’t think too highly of him and say he isn’t the nicest guy. But then again, he is also treated like a king down there.

I honestly think what separated Favre from all the negative publicity over the years is two fold:

1. Social Media wasn't nearly as prevalent when he was playing.

2. He kept to himself and never really became quite as out going media wise as Rogers has.

He may be all of those things, but he has something going for him.

Olivia Munn is 100x hotter. She probably left him bc she was tired of his crap too

Rodgers is a complete asshole. Glad Lefleur is going something about his ass unlike McCarthy

I had a professor at App that taught Favre in a class at Southern Miss. He said he never went to class but magically ended up with a B in the schools system.

He wasn’t too fond.

Marketing plays a role too. Favre always cultivated a folksy sort of image that made him seem likeable.

And yeah, social media makes a difference. These days there are loads of stories about people meeting celebrities who turn out not to be anything like their image.

When you're incredibly rich and famous and practically your entire family STILL writes you off, you have to be an incredible asshole.

And just to revisit the draft, being an a-hole was a major factor in why he wasn't the #1 pick.

I can say that perhaps the nicest Panther I ever encountered was Jake Delhomme.  I was walking my children to an OTA (under the bridge) and he saw us and waved like Forrest Gump from his shrimp boat.  Then, after practice, he came up to us and started talking to us.  Nice guy.  My kids had full sized autograph helmets and wanted to get everyone they could--but Jake just stood there and talked and talked.  He was great, but we wanted to get rid of him because a few players were approaching.  That did not stop him.  I finally gave up and just decided to enjoy whatever it was he was talking about. I kept thinking, "Does he know me?  Does he think I am someone else?"  But that is just the way he is--he did the same thing to another group. 

He worked hard to get where he was in life--an NFL starting QB---and he loved and cherished every minute of it.  I wish they all had that kind of appreciation for their supporters.
