Brett Favre offers prophetic insight into Packers replacing
Brett Favre has entered the chat.
The former Packers quarterback and current NFL Hall of Famer was known for his exit from Green Bay, one in which he seemed unwilling to play nice with future Packers starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers between 2005 and 2007.
Well, turnabout is Luis Aparicio Jersey fairplay in the NFL, and on Thursday nightthe Packers' braintrust selected Utah State QB Jordan Love in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft, thus putting Rodgers in a similar situation as Favre some years ago.
just days before the Lucas Giolito Jersey draft, Favre offered some slightly propheticwordsregarding Rodgers' future with the team and how he and the Packers should handle the future of the QB room.

"Look, no one is going to replace Aaron unle s Aaron chooses to be replaced," Favre said. "There's no Bobby Jenks Jersey worry for him that he's going to be ousted. He's too good of a player.
"It's funny because Aaron and I were talking about it last year, how he gets how I was when he came in, because now he's at that age that I was when he came in. It's getting about time that you start looking at drafting a guy or picking someone in free agency. Not that we think Aaron is at the end of his rope, I think he's got many good years, barring injury, ahead of him. But you do have to start grooming the next guy."
While Favre maintains that Harold Baines Jersey his working relationship with the man who eventually took his job was good, reports and rumors still swirled that things were icy between the two. With Rodgers having to sit behind Favre for several years until getting the opportunity to start, the 36-year-old quarterback finds himself in the same situation. Favre also said that Rodgers can read the room properly.
"Aaron gets it," he said.
Really, it' Danny Mendick Jersey s a situation that isn't unique to the Packers, as historyhas repeated itself in the NFL. In addition toRodgers and Favre, Tom Brady and Jimmy Garoppolo on the Patriots andJoe Montana and Steve Young of the 49ersall immediately come to fans' minds. While those situations all ultimately turned out differently, NFL franchises have never been too shy aboutfinding that next guy atQB.
For now, though, Rodgers is still slated Ryan Goins Jersey to be the guy under center in Green Bay. There's just no telling how long that "for now" actually is.
