Brett Favre has been in the news cycle here in town all week. Why? Well, Brett played in the AmFam Championship celebrity foursome with Jack Nicklaus, Toby Keith, and Andy North. Favre had a chance to speak with the media after the round and he added his own commentary about Aaron Rodgers’ future. Everyone else is talking about the relationship with Rodgers-Matt LaFleur right now due to the dead period in football. Favre gave the Packers coaching staff some suggestions while forgetting about what happened to him in the mid-2000s. From the Milwaukee Journal Sentinal…

“Aaron will be fine,” Favre said. “I think that the thing is he needs to remain the same. And I don’t have to give him any advice. You know, he’ll handle it well. The question is, how will they handle it with him. And obviously, that’s very important. I mean, there’s more to the team than Aaron but we all have to admit that when he’s playing and playing well, which generally when he’s playing he is playing well, you don’t want to change what’s working. There are other factors that you have to work on.

“So I think you let him play his game and not disturb that very much. And it’s going to be interesting to see if that happens.”

Here’s the thing about that, though. Packers did not do that with Favre. In fact, Mike McCarty basically rebuilt Favre and turned him into an All-Pro quarterback for the twilight of his career. The former Packers legend fell apart with Mike Sherman at the helm, because he was able to do whatever the fuck he wanted on the football field. McCarthy added some rigor to the offense, and it took a year, yet you had a team that should have went to the Super Bowl if Favre doesn’t throw it right to Corey Webster.

Part of me understands that this might be a tough season. Everything you read about teams changing offenses and coaches, it takes two years. Maybe, the brilliance of Aaron Rodgers will expedite the Packers’ success, but it seems like we’ll have to wait until next year for the true fireworks. Aaron will get to be himself, but there will be new wrinkles all season.
