Isn’t it great when everyone gets along? Brett Favre spoke with SiriusXM NFL Radio yesterday and said something about Aaron Rodgers that surprised some fans. Check it out…
Via ESPN:
“I understood that they had a young quarterback who had tremendous potential, that they had to find out what he could do,” Favre said Thursday on SiriusXM, according to ProFootballTalk.com. “And, quite frankly, I had probably my best year in 16 years that past season and there’s two ways to look at that. If you’re in the organization and you’re making decisions you got to feel like, ‘OK, he had a great year but he’s probably maxed out.’ That’s kind of what I would have been thinking. Now, obviously my side of it is, ‘I think I still can play.’ The way it went down was not the best of ways and I think people have learned from it and, again, I’m over it.”
All parties have been moving toward a reconciliation, and that continued Thursday as Favre praised Rodgers.
“Aaron has played extremely well, probably even better than anyone anticipated, but I knew he was capable of that and that’s why they drafted him,” Favre said. “Barring any injury he’ll shatter everything I ever did there except for maybe consecutive games.”
Favre holds the NFL record for consecutive starts, with 297 over 19 seasons. He left the game after the 2010 season as the career leader in victories (186), yards passing (71,838), touchdown passes (508), attempts (10,169), completions (6,300) and interceptions (336).
Rodgers has played 85 games over eight seasons, with 21,661 yards passing, 171 touchdown passes, 2,665 attempts, 1,752 completions and 46 interceptions.
