Whefff... idk.Hypothetical question.
2005 NFL draft, Alex Smith and Aaron Rodgers are rumored to go 1-2. Of course we know Rodgers fell on the first round until the Packers game to the rescue with the 24th pick.
It would be easier to list the teams that did NOT pass on Rodgers: WSH, IND, SEA, ATL, SD, PIT, PHI and NE. That's it. All other teams passed on him.
Question: would Rodgers have been the same player he is today if he went to any other team that passed on him?
I know Favre never had interest in being the Big Brother or to prepare him. As Favre said, he had another job to do. But Rodgers did get to see first hand what a confident leader with a lazercanonrocket arm can do. And I think watching on Sundays while working during the week is a big help to a young QB. Few get that chance.
Gotta assume thing would be different if he'd went to a place like Cleveland, or Detroit, where he's just a bigtime prospect like others who had came in. And failed.
But he's so talented that I don't think any team he was on could be a failure, for long.
