I love the guy and he would most certainly win more games than anyone else available if Rodgers goes down but it is time to move on. Even if Brohm were absolutly terrribel replacing an injured Rodgers we need to find that out. We can't keep going back to Brett as a security blanket it only hurts us in the long run at this point.

"Which Packer's jersey are you going to purchase to replace your Brett Favre jersey?" Now, I know you would get a lot of "I'll still wear #4's jersey" or "no one will ever replace Brett" answers. But you know what I mean. Personally, I have no idea. At least we're not lacking for candidates: Hawk, Jennings, Driver, Barnett, Bigby, Rodgers, Kampman, etc. When you think about it, the whole "the Packers all of a sudden lost their identity angle" media story kind of has a point. For example, who will ESPN bill as the main player for MNF? As in _________ and the Packers take on Adrian Peterson and the Vikings. I would guess they would go the Aaron Rodgers route... something to the effect of "Aaron Rodgers, the first QB to start under center in GB other than Brett Favre in 16 years takes on..."

It's what is keeping from getting his jersey. Although, my buddy who is a Lions fan told me that we have the best two QBs in division, which I think is more of an indictment on the division than a compliment for our QBs. Most definitely.

Just nervous about your last scenario, esp in light of Mr. Glass.... And since Rodgers’ current consecutive quarters started streak is at two… ;)

Basically, I see there being 3 scenarios: 2 where Ted's decision would be easy and a 3rd where the decision would be quite difficult. If we're halfway through the season and we're playing well and Aaron goes down, that's a scenario where you should bring in Brett. However, if we're halfway through and we're struggling/mediocre, it probably makes more sense to just go with Brohm and see what we have there. The more difficult decision would be: what would Ted do if Rodgers goes down for the season in the second half of the Monday night game? At this point you would have no idea about the direction of the team, but Brohm likely wouldn't be ready to play by then and neither would Flynn. Should he bring in Favre? Should he just start Brohm/Flynn? It would be a really tough call.
