Phenomenal athletes do things that shouldn't be taught because they wouldn't work for the other 99.9999 percent of us.

As a Pack fan (only behind my beloved Raiders) I just don't have the love for Rodgers as I did for Farve. Wish I knew why.

Favre is more likeable in a few different ways. He was somewhat more of an underdog (played safety in college) He had more personality, he’s labeled a “gun slinger” by the press which people like.

I’ve always been a Pack fan and have always rooted for Aaron, but lately all my friends tell me they hate him lol. They say he’s whiny/entitled and all that. A lot of QBs want calls for their guys, I think it’s cuz he’s a beast is why they hate him.

Farve was likeable because he was an awesome quarterback who loved the game and it showed. He was a warrior and a great teammate. It made me sad when he retired.

Huh? Favre played QB for Southern Miss. Not sure where you got that.

he started out as a safety for Southern Miss. Was recruited as a safety.
Favre was recruited to play defense, but he never played a down at Southern Miss as a defender. As a true freshman in 1987, he took over the starting duties in the third game of the season, working his way up from the bottom of the qb roster.

He has a very, very quick release. Mechanics be damned.
He had PERFECT, text book mechanics in college. I think he picked up his current style from being around Favre, the ultimate gunslinger!

Favre always seemed to be the guy you could go grab a beer with and he’d pick up the tab after a long night of BSing and booze.

Rodgers seems like more of a wine and cheese kind of guy. His done with people attitude as well and not speaking to his family hasn’t made him any more approachable or like able to many.

He never played defense in college. I don't care how he was recruited.

oh I didn’t know this was about you. My bad. But now you know “where I got that” since you said yourself, you didn’t know. Most college QBs are not recruited as safeties, I was speaking to a certain chip on his shoulder that that may have given him. AKA he wasn’t a “good enough” QB to be recruited as QB. But here he is.

Never said it was. You need a little work on reading comprehension. It's understandable. You seem to have a very intimate relationship with Favre. So, I can understand how emotion might overwhelm your ability to make coherent dialogue.
