Will Rodgers play for Packers Sunday?
He has to, because watching Favre throw SIX TOUCHDOWNS last weekend just shows what a terrible mistake his team made in trusting him.
That’s right, in the same afternoon Brett Favre threw six touchdowns for his New York Jets in a 56-35 win over Arizona, Aaron Rodgers was getting sacked three times, leaving the game for one series because of a shoulder injury midway through the fourth quarter of a 30-21 loss to the Buccaneers.
That was one of those
games that will make you think why the Green Bay Packers gave up on Favre. The Packers were determined to jump start the future by giving Rodgers the starting QB spot, sending Favre to New York back in the offseason but after last Sunday, I have a feeling the Packers are doubting themselves now if they made the right decision.
For what it’s worth, both the Packers and the Jets have identical 2-2 records after four weeks into the 2008-09 NFL football season. But still, after those four weeks, it was clear that Favre was the better quarterback than his successor in Wisconsin.
Of course, we wouldn’t be able to claim that if Brett Favre didn’t have that incredible six-touchdown performance against Tampa.
Because of Rodgers’ injury, the Packers can only hope that the guy they invested on this season will still be able to play. And unlike the New York Jets who could very well win a wide-open race in the AFC East, the Packers still have teams like the Chicago Bears and the Minnesota Vikings gunning for them in the NFC North while they fix their problems at the quarterback slot.
For what it’s worth, Aaron Rodgers remains confident that he’ll still be able to lead his team against the Atlanta Falcons this Sunday. And obviously, Packers head coach Mike McCarthy hopes for just that very very intently.
‘’It’s important to have the strength back in the shoulder,’’ McCarthy said.
