"He had Aaron Rodgers to watch. That's the best type of training, in my opinion." I tend to agree with Brady this is helpful but I have never heard him give credit to Brian Griese (watching him three years at MI while Tom was consulting a sports psychiatrist while being buried 7th on the depth chart. He has given credit the psychologist for his career direction) nor Drew Bledsoe (who he watched for a year at NE) before getting the starting job.

I never heard Rodgers give credit to Favre for his training in becoming a QB. The two had a very cold relationship...even adversarial according to Andrew Brandt (Packer executive when both QBs were on the team).

However, while I have heard Love give credit to Rodgers for his development. I do believe ML, Tom Clements, and probably Stenovich have been providing much more valuable training to him. Jordan giving some credit to Rodgers says more about his character, IMO.

Speed benching sounds like what happened when they let me play in my high school football game.

You'd think Brady would have made enough and just want to take it easy for a little while, but I guess we'll have to get used to hearing from him. Not as bad as seeing a picture and comments daily by our former QB.

I think Stokes will be fine in this new D. Speed kills and if what we've heard is true, Hafley takes all the thinking out of it and just has them play.

Ah yes, the single worst time to be an NFL fan. June-late July. As a teacher, it also happens to be when I have the most free time. Sigh...

This Packer team is going to kick butt. It's deeper than any since 2010. More talented than any since 2014 and has a higher ceiling than any since 1998. And it doesn't have a toxic QB who either loses his head and throws YOLO balls like Favre did, or cared the most about what people thought about him like Rodgers did.

Love will be a top 3 MVP vote getter. He will throw for 40+ TDs, 4500+ yards, 65%+ completion percentage and less than 10 INTs. I don't know who else on offense will break out, because there are so many weapons. The defense will be better. Perhaps much better. There is depth everywhere, although there are some players who need to step up who we have not seen do it yet.

Green Bay WILL win 12+ games and the NFCN and will be in the running for the #1 seed. I think we will win it all.

The torn pec thing is really simple if you think about it. I watched a video on YouTube; nutritionist talked for 11.5 hours about this very topic. He used Max McGee as an example. Max could go out the night before a game and get hammered, then play a full game without getting hurt. His secret was dehydration. Ingestion of ethel alcohol leeched water from his muscles allowing him to be properly hydrated for his athletic pursuits. LaFleur, Kraft, and Jenkins simply didn't get drunk enough the night before they lifted. Hence, torn pec.

It wasn't included on their list, but my favorite play of the year, was Aaron Jones introducing himself to Micah Parson's ribs in that playoff game. Still pisses me off Parsons wasn't flagged for roughing after launching and striking Love head to head early in that game. It looked like the official was looking directly at them and just decided to swallow the whistle to help those down trodden Cowboys.

This is why I absolutely hate the bench for athletes. No carryover to anything athletic and it puts the shoulders and pecs in a bad position while inhibiting the natural movement of the scapula. If you're a powerlifter, bench. Everyone else, there are far more productive things to do. If you just really enjoy benching, fine, work it in as an occasional treat for yourself, but don't make it a training staple.

Seeing info about QB's was in this column, does it seem that the talk of the Packers passing on Higgins for Love the talking of that transaction has become almost sound proofed now since Loves last 3/4 or so of the last season? Or is it just me not reading and seeing the columns about it?

I'm sure Stokes didn't get that option because of injuries.
Still you do have a point with Campbell.
Especially after Gute wanted the Back 7 fixed.

Gute's replacement of Savage to X Mckinney,
And Owens, too Rookies.
Is going to make Jeff Hafley, or break MLF.
My thinking is they want to be like SF.
But the packers still managed to score on them.

Which brings me to Love following Rodgers.
Joe Gibbs didn't need a Brady, or Rodgers.
And spending money wasn't the fix.
It's "Doing more with Less."
And Leadership that makes a winner.

Though the relationship between Rodgers and Favre was frosty, Aaron has admitted he picked up intangibles from Favre. I think Brady is right- And, Love has witnessed much higher level play than any current QB. It's the equivalent of being raised in an environment where parents read, speak well, have larger vocabularies, etc. Those children will absorb those traits and think it is the norm.
