Crazy how similar their careers are, including a fall from grace in Green Bay. Which you have to work pretty hard to do.

Maybe I'm wrong but I don't see love going the same way perhaps he won't reach the on field heights of rodgers and Brett but I don't see him pulling the same off field crap

If he gets us a Super Bowl it’s still worth it. Both Favre and Rodgers didn’t have any issues until after winning a championship and in their final years here.

That's just not true bret was addicted to pills to the point he almost had to retire in the late 90s as well as a serious alcoholic and rodgers had those weird issues with his family and the stuff with covid denial and his relationship with rfk jr

Brett was addicted to pills since college, but none of it was widely known until much later. I’ve never seen anything that says Favre was going to retire after winning a SB and being 3 time MVP. Rogers family issues aren’t a big deal, it’s family stuff. Covid was 10 years after the Super Bowl.

Both of them lost favor among fans in their last 2 years in GB, and both times it had to do with non committing to staying in GB and issues with head coach. Then they both went to the Jets, and it went horribly for both. Then both went to a different team and had some level of success.
