During Jermichael Finley's rookie season, he spoke out saying Aaron Rodgers needs to the throw the ball over his other shoulder or something to that effect. I think during the 2011 he said something about their chemistry and I believe he mentioned something about being on the same page with Aaron Rodgers prior to the 2012 season.

If Finley doesn't think Rodgers is a good leader, it wouldn't surprise me. How many times has Rodgers led a come from behind victory in the 4th quarter?

I think the numbers are skewed by Rodgers being on better teams those first 4 years, thereby being ahead more in games. Favre experience a similar dipping in those totals between '95-98, where he only had 2 4QC and 6 GWD.

I'd say, both had similar talent around them over this 4 year stretch, and both won SBs, with Rodgers having 1 more 4QC than Favre and same 6 GWDs during that run.

Can't say who of the two was/is a better leader, but I would pick Rodgers over Favre, based on 4 QCs as the barometer. I just think he has better leadership qualities period.

Now, if the barometer was 4th quarter throw aways....

Aaron Rodgers called it “silly.”

Mike McCarthy called it “ignorant.”

And Jermichael Finley said he had nothing to do with it.

When Blake Baratz, the agent for Finley and Packers linebacker Desmond Bishop, tweeted over the weekend that he didn’t think Rodgers was a great leader, it was worth wondering whether that may have come from Finley.

After all, Finley has talked before about how his chemistry with Rodgers hasn’t always been what he hoped.

But in his first public comments since Baratz’s caused the stir, the Packers tight end said none of it came from him.

“I’d say zero percent of it,” Finley said. “Like I said, he’s got his own opinion. He’s an agent. He has tons of clients around the league. It’s not my problem what he sends out. I could (not) care less as long as he takes care of my business at the end of the day.”

For what it’s worth, when Finley was asked about Rodgers’ leadership ability, he said: “He’s a leader, man. Me and him talk and meet often, so I know his leadership role. I know what he can do. He’s a leader at the end of the day.”

Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)
Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!
earthquake (1-May) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage
beast (1-May) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position
dfosterf (1-May) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.
dfosterf (1-May) : I hear you dhazer, but my guess would be Gilmore Colts and Howard Vikings from what little has been reported.
Mucky Tundra (30-Apr) : S learn from McKinney who learns from Hafley who learns from the fans. Guaranteed Super Bowl
Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : could*
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Safeties should learn from Xavier.
dhazer (29-Apr) : And what about grabbing a Gilmore or Howard at CB ? Those are all Free Agents left
dhazer (29-Apr) : out of curiosity do they try and sign Simmons or Hyde to let these young safeties learn from, they can't be day 1 starters.
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : I miss having Sam Shields.
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Not that he's making excuses, just pointing it out
