He waited three years for his shot. And, after waiting so long Chico’s own Aaron Rodgers did not disappoint. Rodgers was the efficient quarterback the Packers will need as they beat the Minnesota Vikings 24-19 on Monday night.
Those of us that have seen Rodgers play throughout high school and college know he has the smarts to excel at this highest level of football. One of the big question marks coming into his first start was how he would react to the pressures of being the starting quarterback for one of the NFL’s signature franchises. Well, question posed….and question answered.. Aaron kept telling us he was ready, and all he needed was a chance. Last night he proved it.
Now, it is only one game. But, there were so many positives to his game last night that you can’t help but come away from the game thinking the Packers will be just fine with Chico’s favorite son running the show. Packer fans will always love Brett Favre, but at least on mild Monday night from Lambeau it was an Aaron who led them with poise and confidence.
It was only one game, but what a game it was for so many reasons.
