Rodgers cast a long shadow in Green Bay, but love is not only dealing with the expectations set by his predecessor.
The packages enjoyed 31 seasons of the Hall of Fame-level QB game before handing over their current marker. For Rodgers, it was Brett Favre, who also posted albums that called Lambeau Field Home and won the Super Bowl before the controversial partition led him to the Jets.
Both Sagas, Green Bay who left Favre to Rodgers and then Rodgers to love, took the heir to the obvious waiting in the wings for three years as a surprise in the first round.
Since they are different, except for Gotham’s Favre career to play with Minnesota Vikings rather than Steelers, the magma is between QB.
Although Favre-Rodgers’ relationship has been very cold early, love has no complaints about how Rodgers approached unpleasant conditions.
“I definitely appreciate how A-Rod just handled to be in that situation,” said Love. “I think a large part of what he told me, he knows what it was for him to be in the same position as things he went through and just how the situation might have been treated.
“In my time with A-Rod we had a great relationship. It was wonderful to be in the room with him, can learn. He was incredible with everything.
Thanks to Favre, who ended his career in NFC North for two years, he and Rodgers had a variety of opportunities to get started. They went 2-2 heads to the head, though Rodgers technically got the last laughter by winning the last two competitions, as well as the Super Bowl XLV in the final year of Favre.
Rodgers and love will probably only have this one meeting to break the rights.
You will come out to the top, but maybe both will come from old friends.
