Aaron Rodgers Packers stats are eerily similar to Brett Favre’s

The two Green Bay Packers quarterbacks are tied to the hip forever, and this stat proves it

The Green Bay Packers are lucky to have had two longtime starting quarterbacks for the majority of the 21st century. The team had Brett Favre up until the 2008, when they opted to move forward with then young signal-caller Aaron Rodgers. Of course, the two will always be tied to the hip by media pundits from here to eternity, and as it turns out, the two share more in common than starting under center in the bright lights of Lambeau Field.

According to Pro Football Focus, Favre had 119 wins in his first 182 games with the Packers, while Rodgers has…119 victories in the same number of games.

Favre and Rodgers may face similar fates

Both quarterbacks would have had the same amount of losses, but Rodgers mustered a 29-29 tie against the Minnesota Vikings in 2018, giving him the edge thus far.

While the two quarterbacks had the same number of victories, Rodgers arguably has better statistics. Through his first 182 contests, the 2005 first-round pick completed 64.7-percent of his passes for 48,870 yards, 387 touchdowns and just 85 interceptions. Meanwhile, Favre threw for 43,755 yards, 329 touchdowns and 196 picks on 61.2 completion percentage.

In terms of individual accolades in that span, Favre has the edge. The Hall of Fame quarterback won three consecutive NFL MVP Awards (1995-97) and was the NFL passing touchdown leader four times (1995-97, 2003). Additionally, Favre has the edge in taking the Packers to more Super Bowl trips (two) than Rodgers (one).

Packers fans are lucky to have had ideal quarterback transitions over the last three decades. Trust us, it doesn’t always come so easily. Pour one out for Jordan Love, because he’s got some lofty expectations to live up to once he eventually takes the reins from Rodgers.
