This is the second installment of the Brett Favre vs. Aaron Rodgers match-up. Let’s kick it week two style.
The Packers had a solid victory over the Detroit Lions, 48-25, making the Packers' management look like geniuses so far for deciding to go with QB Aaron Rodgers.
I'd like to stress, just like I did last week, that it is too early to clearly see how well Aaron Rodgers will perform during the course of his career. However, we can say that he is 2-0 as the starter for the Green Bay Packers. For now, all is well for the cheese heads.
Brett Favre suffered his first loss as a New York Jet this week, 19-10, against the defending AFC Champions, the New England Patriots.
Before we hand Rodgers a victory this week, let us consider the fact that the Patriots are a more valid opponent than the Lions. Green Bay was supposed to win the game, while the Jets were supposed to “give it all they had” to try for the upset. Before we declare a winner, let's review some stats?
Passing Yards
With 328 yards through the air, Rodgers crushes Favre’s total of 181 this week
Completions
Rodgers completed six more passes, getting 24 to Favre’s 18. This is the second week in a row that Rodgers wins this category. He now has nine more completions than Favre on the season.

Perhaps you should add that you are comparing what some "experts" call one of the best QB's to ever play the game VS. a Quarterback who is starting his first season. Also, Favre gets paid $12 million a season. When are you guys going to figure out what the GM and coach of the Packers have already figured out? Favre is an overrated, overpaid, over the hill, mistake prone HYPEMASTER.

All time leader in TDs, YDS, Completions, Attempts, and WINS.
Overrated? You haven't been watching football long have you?
Overpaid? 3 MVPs? Again, how long have you been watching Favre
Mistake Prone? He's only had 1 losing season his entire career. Nobody can even touch that.
Over the Hill? beat out Tom Brady for the FedEx air player of the year, and was 2nd in NFL MVP voting last year.
Hypemaster? Is that why his best games come during primetime?
Come on man, someone from California should know more about football to be spewing such nonesense.
Then again if your a 49ers fan, Favre has done some damage to your franchise.
Or if your a Raiders fan, your just mad because you haven't had a franchise quarterback in 3 decades.

Good stuff, if Favre had posted...250 yds...2Tds... i may have been inclined to give him the win. BECAUSE he was playing one of the best defenses in the league. You made some good points. nice work.

david's response to john is hilarious and oh so true! By the way you have to take into account Favre is learning a new system and thats why he's not throwing that much a game. by week 6 he'll be on fire. I would be surprised if he torches San Diego.
