As Aaron Rodgers embarks on his third off-season as a pro, leading up to his fourth full-year, I can visualize the Cal-product questioning whether he will ever a get a chance to take the reign’s as a starting quarterback. Under normal circumstances, on almost any other team, Rodgers would have been taking first-team reps by now. No way he ever expected those first six hours in the draft room to feel as short as the four years he’s had to endure holding the clipboard, huh? So one begs the question, has he matured enough? After Carson Palmer was drafted by the Bengals, fans and the media alike predicted a short leash for the once incompetent Jon Kitna. And they guessed right. And though the state of Wisconsin will never succumb to slurping their Brett Favre kool-aid, I feel it’s time for the legend to hang up the cleats once and for all. He’s got all the records, his Super Bowl, and he didn’t walk off with another trophy, but nonetheless, he’s considered a first-ballot Hall of Famer, and would be elected in 2013. Aaron deserves his shot, and if Brett calls for that press-conference launching him to immortality, I will be the happiest Packer fan on the planet. Not that I don’t like Brett, I love the guy, but after living 17 years watching your favorite team have only one gunslinger behind center, you begin a chronic habit of highlighting the negatives, instead of treasuring his rocket balls or shovel passes. Let the youth movement begin!
