True that Finley was not regarded in 08 as the dangerous TE that he became the next season. But Ted Thompson believed he was. Donald Lee was highly regarded by Favre and he did not hesitate to go to him. And he also went to Jones in 2007 as well. That is one difference between Favre and Rodgers that I saw. Favre was more of an equal employment opportunist. Yes, we were a 4-3 in 2008. Kampman was our pass rusher. Pickett was the run stopper. Harrell was the bust. Was hurt all the time. Barnett went sideline to sideline and made tackles left and right. Bishop was the sleeper. Woodson's play was essential but his leadership role is what is missing today. And I do not think any safety in the last ten years on our roster was as strong as Collins. The other place to look is the HC. MM had Favre for 2 seasons. MLF had Rodgers for 4. In 2007 we were 14-4 counting playoffs and were not expected to even make the playoffs. But fell to 6-10 in 2008. In 2022 we were thought by many to be in the SB. We finished 8-9 which was very disappointing. Bear in mind that many on the Packer roster wanted Favre back in 2008 and so did he. Do many on today's roster want Rodgers back? We know he did not.</p></blockquote><p></p>
