Favre is the better quarterback at this stage. I think the Jets are very underrated right now on the offensive side. I really like their OL, Favre should have ample time to throw and he is dangerous when he gets time, throw in a proven runner and pass catcher out of the backfield in Thomas Jones. Also throw in a not very good Jets defense and the first two should force the Jets to score and throw a lot. I also think it is a lot to ask Rodgers to lead the Packers to a repeat of last year in his first year starting coupled with the fact the Packers are still a very young team. Give me the Jets to have more wins this year.

I like Rodgers and GB in all three of these. Favre will fizzle...
The thing about Favre last year is that he spent entire offseason before the 2007 season practicing and preparing. He worked his tail off and it paid off. This year, he did nothing but hawk Wranglers or doink his hot wife. Plus, he's learning a new system. Remember the Favre of 2005 and 2006? That's what to expect...but worse.
