There has been a massive shift in the way Green Bay Packers will function from now on. With a lot of uncertainty from Aaron Rodgers, the Packers need to move on and ensure their quarterback situation holds stable. Even some Packers’ legends seem quite fed up with the way Rodgers has been acting. There seems to be a collective consensus that Jordan Love should be QB1 for the Packers. Furthermore, after Rodgers clears up where he wants to go, it seems inevitable. Interestingly, Rodgers’ journey is practically aping the journey of another Packers legend.
While Rodgers worked hard for 18 long years in Wisconsin, he has finally made it clear that he wants to move on to New York Jets. However, it is very difficult for fans to not see the similarity between Rodgers’ journey and his predecessor’s journey. Furthermore, one might wonder if Jordan Love will take the same leap. So what exactly is this interesting coincidence between Aaron Rodgers and another Packers legend?

While there is no way to know what influenced Rodgers’ journey, Green Bay fans are a little shocked at the similarities to the past. While Rodgers has been one of the best quarterbacks for Green Bay, Brett Favre ran the show before him. Favre also brought a Super Bowl championship to Green Bay and had played for the Dairy State for 16 seasons. As per CBS, he went on to New York Jets in the twilight of his career. Furthermore, as Favre was moving to the Big Apple, Rodgers was taking over in Wisconsin.
