Now that quarterback Aaron Rodgers has propelled the Packers to their fourth Super Bowl title, his onetime Green Bay counterpart, Brett Favre, wonders why it took so long.

The iconic former Packer, speaking in a radio interview on Atlanta's 790 The Zone, said he always expected his previous untested understudy to become his equal in that most meaningful head-to-head statistic: Super Bowl rings.

"I'm going to be honest, I was not surprised," Favre, who won his only Super Bowl in New Orleans in 1997, said on Tuesday in the interview, as quoted by USA Today. "The biggest surprise to me would be that he didn't do it sooner."

Favre said he realized all along how good of a quarterback Rodgers could be and had high expectations for him to be in this position -- in the limelight, winning his first Super Bowl in January. But he also intimated that Rodgers' rise into elite status has been aided by a supporting cast better than he had in Green Bay.

1. Sorry Brett----but

expect Rodgers to win a few more before he's finished.

4. well, in '97 most figured Favre would win more as well

But, imo, Favre wouldn't have won the one if the Broncos hadn't completely chocked against Jacksonville in the Divisional game that year. The Broncos were a better team that year than the following year, but the starters hadn't played a game in a month. (They didn't play when the Packers--who were still fighting for playoff seeding--crushed them near the end of the regular season). Oh well--ifs, buts, etc.

That said, though, I also expect Rodgers will win another.

2. If you can't stand Favor why do you keep posting articles about him?

3. Yes, because Sterling Sharpe and Robert Brooks were slouches.

Grrr... This makes me so very angry. I used to defend Brett's "class" to my father (a Bart Starr believer). This morning I told him he was right, and we started all over again. Who's classier now, Dad? Rodgers or Starr? My money's on Rodgers. The level of restraint he has shown through Favre's mud showers is amazing.

Go, Pack, GOOOO!
