Can't disagree with the things he says really. Ofcourse people will compare them, but Rodgers will just not be Brett Favre. They're different players.

Also, pretty funny story.

Isnt it odd DD calls him AROD

People here have a fit when that nick name is used

And also there have been some that said he doesnt command a huddle

Well I guess if DD says he does do you doubt him?

People have a fit when Aaron Rodgers is called Arod? The majority of 'people' call him Arod. It only fits since I believe he's had that nick name since he was a youngster.

Anyone got a transcript of this? I'm blocked by Websense, again! lol

ya nice video - makes you see how the QB is the leader of the offense and one needs to have good leadership skills let alone a good throwing arm.

I agree with DD assessement thou - arod seemed to be a little rocky at the start then he went into full swing. Sure the end of the season he had some setbacks. But he's still new and hes learning.

He has some great receivers to throw too; now he just needs a bit better blockers.

hoping for a nice OT in the draft

Wait till you get home then dork LOL

DD said Rodgers didnt feel like he didnt have the team on his shoulders,players didnt believe in him..or be the leader of the team..

He then talked to him on the back of the team bus and said...he wont be Brett, dont compare yourself to Brett... just like no one will ever be Troy Aikman and etc...

He said make your own legacy and identity..

A while later in practice they were in a huddle and up until that point DD said Rodgers was very queit and never really spoke..

Driver told him to take over the huddle and be the leader...

Rodgers told him to shut up LOL

Driver said his reaction was to choke him LOL

but he stopped and listened to him tell the guys to shut up and to let him call the plays..

Driver then says that he looked at him, smiled and said now you have taken over and are being a leader

Ahh, I've seen this one before then. Or at least those comments. I remember Driver saying that Aaron needed to 'TAKE OVER' the team and not wait for it to be handed to him, or something to that effect.

I think it was aired after the 49ers pre season game.

Good stuff, once I get home I will have to watch it! 🙂 (punk!)

Well, I like how Driver hasn't missed a beat with the QB change. I imagine he's probably a great guy to have on your team. Good sense of humor, always positive. Things like that, you don't miss until they're gone.

My man Donald Driver

Yes it was the niner game and it was in the papers last year in articles..That is how you knew about it..

This video is from THIS past fan fest..so its just re-visited

In fact DH and I ( surprisingly ) got in a riff about Rodgers leading the team in the huddle..He said he can't do it and when I brought up Dd artcile from last year he then back tracked and said it was only a pre-season game :thumbleft:
