Rodgers needs rest with both foot hurt

It seemed that the Green Bay Packers should give quarterback Aaron Rodgers more time to recover from injuries. After this season’s second loss to the Minnesota Vikings, whose starting quarterback is a former Green Bay Packer, Brett Favre, Rodgers again got hurt in sacks.

Limping away from Sunday’s loss to the Vikings with a sprained toe on one foot and a nagging sprain on the other, Rodgers was expected by his Coach Mike McCarthy only to miss time in practice, not a game.

Rodgers seemed not strong enough to be comparable to 40-years-old Favre. The whole game became a verification of whether Favre would be able to lead his new team to win over his old team while wearing his forever No. 4 NFL jersey. And the role Rodgers played was simply something that added suspense and excitement to the verifying process.

The team is absolutely not ready to get into prime time.

Aaron Rodgers simply needs more time to be fully recovered from injuries and become a big threaten to Brett Favre- it takes time either for the essentially talented quarterback to get more experienced or for Favre to become too old to play a good game.
