The NFC north has finally gotten attention, but not in a good way. The Brett Favre era has ended and the Aaron Rodgers syndrome has begun. Aaron Rodgers will be fine, nobody expects him to come in be good old Brett. The packers probably won't make the playoffs, and I highly doubt they will resign Aaron Rodgers after the season is over. Aaron Rodgers reminds me of Alex Smith of the 49ers, except that Rodgers has a good team to build around and Smith was left with no help at all. The Chicago Bears are in a rebuilding process, with their new opening day starter Kyle Orton.  I think the bears have finally listened to me, I have always thought Orton was a decent QB. Orton will not win games for you and he won't lose games for you also unlike Grossman. The bears will just a bad team this year period. The Minnesota Vikings should come out first in the weak NFC North with their superstar Adrian Peterson, and a stellar run defense. QB is kinda shaky, because Tavaris Jackson should not be the starter and they should just trade for Brady Quinn. The surprise team of the conference will be the lions, well its not really a surprise because the conference has downgraded alot of Favre gone. They should be a high powered offense with just Ernie Sims on defense. With a weak conference anybody can come out on top.
