I think some people have a selective memory of Favre. He was a very good deep ball thrower, but not a great one. I think Rodgers is a little better, at least so far, but you could probably make a case for either. Stats only tell part of the story. Certainly the throws to Jennings on Sunday and Driver the week before were perfect. Neither receiver was very much open.
I still think Favre is the best I've ever seen at throwing slants and timing patterns. But the fact that we can even have these discussions is evidence of how well Rodgers is playing.

I agree with everything you said. Technically I think Rodgers is "good" at slants and curls, maybe even VERY good. But I don't think there was any better then Brett Favre in his prime at slants and curls. I think Rodgers may be a bit better at throwing out routes and deep balls. I'm very happy knowing that for the next 10 years or more, I can be hopeful that we have successful passed a torch onto another up and coming QB. Do they play the same way? nope, but they are both very good at what they do. I was the biggest Favre fan and now I'm a Rodgers fan. Can't we all be proud to have brought up 2 good QB's, proven thus far? I think it speaks volumes for this organization.
