It seems like the Packers and the Patriots are now in similar conditions since both of their regular starting quarterbacks are no more. On one side we have the Pack without Favre, who flew to NY and became Broadway Brett and on the other we have the Pats who just lost Tom Brady, who was considered the best quarterback in the league before the injury he suffered just 7 minutes after New England’s first game of the regular season, which is leaving him out of competition at least until next year.
So as replacements are coming:
Aaron Rodgers for the Packers, a guy that was the shadow of Brett Favre during three seasons and whom just won a lot of trust from Green Bay fans as he finished with a victory on his first NFL regular season start.
Matt Cassel for the Patriots, who is arriving in the same conditions Tom Brady did when he had to replace Drew Bledsoe back in 2001, when he led New England to 14 victories in route to their first NFL championship, now is Cassel’s turn to prove that he has what it takes to replace Brady, but as for what we saw in the game against the Chiefs where he played a few minutes, it will be a hard task since the Chiefs are considered one of the worst NFL teams and Casselbarely carried the Pats through the rest of the game after Brady’s injury.
Now that the pressure is more on Cassel than on Rodgers, let’s check on week 2 when the Packers face the Lions and the Patriots face the Jets.
