It's Long Passed Time to Stop Comparing Rodgers to Favre

There have been a lot of different takes about moving oin from Aaron Rodgers this offseason. Some more immediate, some down the road, but all of them misguided.

There are a number of reasons for these "taeks", but today I'm just going to address one.

One of the arguments brought up when suggesting that the Packers start a "transition" from Rodgers is that Brett Favre was 35 when Green Bay drafted Aaron Rodgers in 2005.
