Did Aaron Rodgers learn nothing from how Brett Favre left Green Bay?

In another offseason about him, Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers shows he learned nothing from how things ended for Brett Favre in Titletown.

History is repeating itself to some extent, as Aaron Rodgers is giving the Green Bay Packers another drama-filled offseason, much like his predecessor Brett Favre did long before him.

Their football talents were simply undeniable, as these are two of the greatest throwers of the football the NFL has ever seen. However, these bona-fide superstars played in front of a massive nationwide fanbase in the league’s smallest professional media market. Playing in Green Bay may feel a tad collegiate, but the NFL is big business and there are downsides to not having an owner…

While there is time for Rodgers to prevent a Packers breakup like Favre experienced, the way this saga is playing out feels all too similar.

History is repeating itself, as Aaron Rodgers is quickly turning into Brett Favre

In truth, Favre put the Packers through the ringer for longer than Rodgers has. His shenanigans would be drawn out into training camp year after year. Following the 2007 NFC Championship Game loss to the eventual Super Bowl champion New York Giants, Green Bay finally had enough. It was Rodgers’ team going forward after having served as the backup to a reluctant mentor.

Where this differs a bit is Rodgers is beloved in the Green Bay quarterback room and in the Packers facility. He also is expected to make his decision on what he wants to do in the coming weeks and days. Rodgers can decide to keep on playing for Green Bay, request a trade or retire. It should really be that simple. And that is where it is starting to feel exceptionally Favre once again.

Rodgers has toyed with the media on social media and his semi-weekly appearances on The Pat McAfee Show. It is called Aaron Rodgers Tuesday for a reason. While Favre does not seem to be a panchakarma type of guy, Rodgers abruptly forced that into our vernacular merely weeks ago. So how did your PK go? The great news is it does not end with a Minnesota Vikings spite signing.

Ultimately, there will be resolution in all this. One of those three feasible scenarios will manifest. But once one of those three outcomes happens, the drama must stop. Otherwise, it is just Favre all over again, or lord help us all, it evolves into some type of LeBron James ego-centric, full-blown organizational takeover. Football is a team sport and it serves the NFL to forever keep it that way.

No wonder the Packers have only two Super Bowls to show for 30 years of elite quarterback play.
