1) Green Bay Packers
I know that they just lost one of the top five quarterbacks of all time in the offseason and now have a guy who has spent so much time on the bench that he probably has splinters in his rear end.
However, the supporting cast around Aaron Rodgers is so good that I think he should be able to transition into the role relatively smoothly. Is he going to be Brett Favre? No, but few are.
One advantage he has over Favre (and it is only one) is that he is less risky; less of a gun-slinger. He is a guy that can come in and run the offense and make the plays when they are there. If they are not there he will not be caught too often throwing the ball into stupid spots or doing anything else that may hurt the team.
What it really comes down to for the Packers is how the other guys step up to help Rodgers out. They have two good, young running backs in Ryan Grant and Brandon Jackson, two good receivers with Donald Driver and Greg Jennings, and a good tight end in Donald Lee to help Rodgers out.
