Can new starter Aaron Rodgers succeed behind center under the huge microscope?
Talk about big shoes to fill, A-Rod must continue to build on last year and guide this young team into the playoffs. But will he turn out like a few other QB’s that eventually replaced legends?
Last season in limited action Rodgers looked impressive with a 109 QB rating and a 71% completion percentage. Rodgers even replaced an injured Favre in November against the Dallas Cowboys and completed 18 passes for 201 yards with no interceptions.
While one game doesn’t make a QB, he’s had three seasons to learn and grow under the watchful eye of one of the greatest QB’s in history. Rodgers knows what kind of pressure he’s under and has to stare at it everyday, literally because Favre’s old locker is less than 10 feet away.
But as Rodgers had to look in front of him for three seasons with Favre in the lineup, he now has to look behind him with highly touted rookie Brian Brohm on the roster. There’s nothing wrong with a little motivation on the sideline.
