Aaron Rodgers has praised Jordan Love’s play several times throughout the season. But he’s not the only former Green Bay Packers player excited about the team’s future at the most important position in football. Hall of Famer Brett Favre also enjoyed watching.”All I can say is wow,” Favre told TMZ.
“Right now, he’s playing like any other quarterback in the league.”Brett Favre admitted in an interview that he thought the Packers wouldn’t make the playoffs before the season. The Packers ultimately failed to advance to the postseason in 1992, Favre’s first year as a starter, or in 2008 when Aaron Rodgers took over. Favre’s first playoff game came after the 1993 season.
The Packers defeated the Detroit Lions 28-24 after being a wild card team in Michigan. That was third in the old NFC Central. Green Bay lost 27-17 to the Dallas Cowboys the following week. Now the Packers face the Cowboys and Brett Favre faces a tough matchup. At the same time, Favre is confident in what Green Bay can do. “Dallas will be a tough opponent,” the former quarterback said.
“But I don’t want to be the team that has to play the Packers in the playoffs.”messageFavre is 12-10 in 24 career playoff appearances, including 22 with the Packers, including the 1996 postseason Super Bowl championship. That experience will allow Favre to offer important advice to Jordan Love.
“You only get to play the first playoff game once,” Favre said. “Enjoy the moment.”consistencyBrett Favre was acquired by the Packers as a first-round pick in 1992, a year after being drafted by the Atlanta Falcons in the second round. He became the starter after Don Majkowski’s ankle injury and never looked back.
The Packers’ succession plans have been similar ever since. Green Bay drafted Aaron Rodgers in 2005, when Favre was still playing at a high level, and the rookie quarterback was benched three years later. The same thing is happening now.Jordan Love was a first round pick in 2020.
Things got more difficult as Rodgers won the MVP the next two seasons, but the Packers still stuck to their plan. Interestingly, both Favre and Rodgers were traded to the New York Jets. Favre lasted just one year in New York before retiring after two seasons with the Minnesota Vikings.
