Rodgers comment from earlier…clarified…

Earlier, I made the comment that I worry Rodgers may be a whiner and that that is one area of contrast between he and Favre I’m not looking forward to watching. I stand by that comment as I do have that worry. However, I want to make it abundantly clear that I support Aaron Rodgers, believe he is talented and will be rooting hard for him to be a successful Packer. While I have concerns re his injury issues and wonder if he can physically handle the demands of the NFL quarterback position, I think he is talented and confident in what he’s doing. And, I also think we’ll all begin to admire his intense desire to win - he seems like a fiery competitor. And, while I’m at it, I also recognize that he may add a dimension to quarterbacking that perhaps Favre was missing in the latter stages of his career - gaining positive yards on the ground. (Now, this is not to be mistaken for Favre’s ability to escape pressure in the pocket - he may have been the best in NFL history at doing this. I’m referring here to actually running forward for yards).

Still, I’m saddened by this news because he was the most enjoyable NFL player to watch in my lifetime (with Barry Sanders a distant second and Walter Payton a distant third).
