The Green Bay Packers got a 1st look at their new starting quarterback, Aaron Rodgers, on Monday night against the Cincinnati Bengals.  Rodgers was 9 of 15 for 117 yards, including 1 touchdown and 1 interception.  The Packers were unable to get the win, but Aaron’s performance was good nonetheless.  Sure, he could’ve thrown more accurately and/or avoided the interception, but in limited action he was able to get over 100 yds of offense and a TD.

I think that if Rodgers is able to average more than 230 yds per game and limit to 1 INT (or less) per game average, Green Bay is going to finish with a winning record.  And in the NFC, that might be enough to qualify for the playoffs.

On the other side, former Packer Brett Favre is confirmed as the starting quarterback in Saturday’s match-up against the Redskins.  Surely, the game is in Washington’s favor since they know Favre’s play, while he is learning a new offense w/ new teammates.  Look for a few mistakes – IF -he plays more than 5-7 minutes.
