Though finding an heir apparent at the most important position is nothing new in the NFL, the Packers' situation is all the more appealing to fans and media considering Rodgers was taken as Favre's eventual successor. The perception was that Favre was none too pleased. Rodgers waited in the wings for three seasons before taking over as the Pack's starter in 2008 and never looking back while Favre moved on to the Jets and Vikings, finding more success and shunning retirement. Now Rodgers presumably faces the same situation.
