I’ve given you multiple examples of mentorship with a positive result, and Favre’s case specifically just goes to show that, at the very least, GMs, coaches, owners, and organizations are atleast willing to believe in the idea of mentorship. Most quarterbacks on all levels, and in fact most every position from DE’s to WRs to DBs to kickers and punters, have a feeling of camaraderie by their sharing of the position. Mentorship only makes sense, and, like my aforementioned examples, works quite well in a stable organization, hence the continuation of successful seasons despite changes in who is under center.

Mentoring, in the pure meaning of the word, does NOT make sense to a starter who wishes to maintain their position and income generating ability for as long as their body will allow (especially when a talented commodity is READY to take their place).

The other side had seen what Brett had done for this team and had a soft spot for him and hope he would find success wherever he was playing. My dad was the latter. It was so weird seeing a lifelong packers fan being more excited that the vikings were doing good. But when we all saw what rodgers was capable of, everything kinda became water under the bridge. It was just a wild couple years is what I'm saying. I myself didnt really hate Brett, but I remained more on the packer loyalist side through it all.

Mike Lee there can only be one QB on the field at a time. Him improving the abilities of a guy who will ideally stay on the bench doesn't really help the team. Or even the 3rd-4th string guys. How much time should he spend coaching them? The skills to play QB and the skill to coach another person are very different. Just because you do something well doesn't mean you can teach others to do that thing well. There is also such a thing as a QB coach. That's his job to teach all the QBs on staff.

Paul Geno yeah there’s one QB at a time but if the starter goes down you need a backup who understands the system and team. After Wentz went down, he FaceTimed Foles after his surgery (still loopy) to go over plays. It helped the eagles win the Super Bowl. A prepared and well prepped back backup is essential.

[@essel23fly]

Yea exactly. He just looks like a big deuchebag who is very insecure.

[@ajac4093]

I agree. Being the quarterback automatically makes you a mentor. If you are a good leader, that is.

[@jojocapone4861]

@@jpg7616 You're wrong... Helping your team is helping your team, doesn't matter if person isnt the starter. What if he had went down with an injury? So him helping improve AR qb skills wouldn't have been helping the team win since he would have been injured and couldn't play? You're making it more complicated than it is, nobody wanted Farve to be a qb coach, all he had to do was show his successor the ropes. Basically you're saying if he can't personally influence the game, there no need to help direct another player on his team into doing so... That my friend is selfish.... No way around it

[@michelleshelhamer1189]

Brett was a great QB, no question....but just as we prepare our future leaders in my job, most jobs...his job is no different. It's about the team, the fans, the club...NOT YOU! Rodgers is different in many ways, but he is also a great QB and the fact he didn't have a mentor in Favre and plays like he does says alot about him. Either way....GO PACK GO!

[@jeffreyfoj9800]

Brett was great for us. Now Aaron is great for us. We're blessed. Right on Brett!

[@aulorenzo1498]

I’ve always heard this, but after hearing Brett talk about it, I’m with him.

[@vasantos-re4hb]

Farve is absolutely right. I doubt Rogers will show any willingness to mentor the next draft pick.

[@papaxblitz9443]

I think his approach ultimately helped Rogers out in the future tbh.

[@horrordude83]

Did Montana help young? Bledsoe help brady? Manning help luck? No. Just like Bret said, its not his job. Brett knew he still had it and could play at an elite level, and damn sure didn't wanna hand over the team he spent years building for another SB.

[@imONurBOAT]

Josh M Manning and luck never played together

This is akin to a software engineer (that would be me) being expected to train some young fella from India who will do my job for half my salary. Been there.

[@tomservo5347]

He's wearing well-worn pull on work boots. It shows his humbleness and 'everyday normal guy' mantra.

[@Ghostmotorfinger]

Brett isn't wrong about this.

[@olddogcitypound5859]

I lost my 20 year job cause I wouldn't train my replacement. Brett is a honest man who didn't owe Rodgers anything. GO PACK GO 👊
