    After catching passes for two years from Brett Favre and spending the past four seasons on the receiving end of Aaron Rodgers' throws, Packers wide receiver Greg Jennings is comfortable picking which quarterback is better: Rodgers. "They both bring different things to the table, but, honestly, right now, I definitely have to go with . . . Aaron," Jennings said on a New York 1050 radio show on Sunday. "His body of work at such a young age, his attention to detail, his discipline, I think it's really second to none — it's unparalleled." Jennings was drafted by the Packers in the second round of the 2006 draft. He played alongside Favre in the now-retired quarterback's final two seasons in Green Bay. Coming off a bye week as the NFC's No. 1 seed, the Packers will face the Giants after New York beat the Atlanta Falcons 24-2 on Sunday in the wild-card round. It was a game between the Packers and Giants in the NFC championship game in 2007 that ended Favre's 16-year run as Green Bay's starting quarterback and allowed Rodgers — the team's first-round pick in ‘05 — to get an opportunity to start after three seasons as the backup.

    It was an answer he HAD to go with simply because of who is throwing him the ball now...

    but I mean yeah. The season he had this year was amazing and destroyed any type of season Favre ever had.

    Most of us agree Rodgers is a better version of #4 but I still wouldn't discount the difference in eras.

    Living life in a pass happy NFL & enjoying the type of QB league sanctioned protection makes for better working conditions. :icon_wink:

    Farve was having near 40 TD season in a running NFL. Rodgers play's in an era where its hard to defend the pass

    This is a comparison you gotta wait probobly another 6 years to make and judge both by what they've won (which Rodgers has already equaled) and how they stack up with other QB's in there era.

    I would say right now, Rodgers is in stride, but he still has a way's to go
