"Favre never understood in the first place why the Packers felt the need to draft a quarterback (Rodgers) in the first round of the 2005 draft even though his "will he or won't he?" routine had already begun. Favre ignored Rodgers until he realized he wasn't a threat to his starting job.
I've read in some accounts (including those on ESPN.com) how Rodgers has earned the opportunity to start for the Packers, but all along, Favre knew that was the furthest thing from the truth. The only thing Rodgers has earned is a modicum of sympathy for remaining in Favre's considerable shadow. I hear people talk about how the Packers will never be able to re-sign him if Favre wins the starting job. Well, tough luck." - Dan Hsiao
