Back in 2005, when Aaron Rodgers first stepped into the league, the fate of the Green Bay Packers instantly changed because they made the right choice by selecting him.

Right now, the 38-year-old QB is facing a dilemma with Jordan Love, similar to one he had with Brett Favre a few years ago. The transition of powers took three years, and finally, when Rodgers got the charge of the Offensive unit in 2007, he made it seem like a cakewalk.

Over the past two decades, Rodgers played a pioneering role in the development of the franchise, just like Brett Favre, who remains toe-to-toe in terms of accomplishments.

Last year, Rodgers reminisced about the contributions of Favre to the team and the role he played in his life to evolve as a better player. “I have a lot of love for Favrey,” Rodgers said.

Not a lot of young quarterbacks are blessed with the opportunity to go to a team with a first-ballot Hall of Famer in the same room, and to get to watch and learn for three years,” he added to his explanation. Guess what, despite having extensive careers, both of them only have one Super Bowl title to their name.
