Message: [QUOTE="J187Money, post: 5309760, member: 718"] Here is the thing though. The Packers were nearly unwatchable before he took over - and since he never took a game off - every Packers fan knew when they woke up Sunday morning that they had a chance to win / a chance to see something special / or a chance that he might snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. For 16 years. I was at his final game as a Packer when he threw the pick in OT to lose to the Giants - but that's what you got with him - the good and the bad. As to him as a person? I don't really care too much about that stuff generally - loved Rodgers as a player but don't care about his personal life either. I was at Favre's Packer HOF weekend - and the stadium sold out (at $4/ticket) in the blazing heat just so people could see him for 10 minutes. Whatever his faults, he is BELOVED in Wisconsin. And his speech at the Packer HOF dinner - where he shouted out everyone from equipment guys to trainers while talking for 30 minutes without reading from a script - he is not the antichrist that people try and make him out to be. I will be surprised if Rodgers gets the same love when he gets inducted into the Packers HOF. Better than Steve Young? No. Brady? No. Rodgers? No. But that wasn't the question. Was he overrated? I don't think so - everyone always talked about his flaws when he was playing. He is a 1 of 1. [/QUOTE]
