I get the rule changes and stuff but there's still no way I would take Favre over Rodgers.

I think it’s basically impossible to compare quarterbacks from this era to previous’. The average passer rating is up ~15 points.

I wouldn't say not in the same league. Just not as good.

I grant Favre was good, but nowhere near as good as Rodgers.

Rodgers is just on another level.

I would also agree that Favre wasn’t quite as good as Rodgers. But I wouldn’t say he was “nowhere near as good” or that Rodgers was on “another level.” I think it’s much closer than you give Favre credit for. How many QBs have won 3 MVPs?

The QBs back then were tougher! Hell, men were tougher in general if you ask me.

Some of it's in what you value.

I put a premium on accuracy. Favre was always more of a general vicinity guy, with occasional lasers and occasional "what the hell was that?"

Yeah, let Rodgers and Favre swap eras and see what happens. It's always tough comparing two players from different eras.

Man why'd they have to put the hurricanes right now.

Granted, but Rodgers is a pretty physical guy too.

All I care about is neither tampa or New Orleans getting to super bowl....figure Green Bay has best chance against either

this game is not over yet

Yeah I’m kinda annoyed the Rams made this a game, was hoping it was enough of a blowout that I wouldn’t be missing anything watching the Canes... oh well

I'm primarily talking about just how much different the passing game in general is between the two eras. The protection QBs get, the protection WRs get, how much tougher it is to cover, the more spread out attacks, etc. It's just a different game now.
