Can Aaron Rodgers succeed signing this late? Brett Favre did it

Our Summary

The article discusses the similarities between Brett Favre's late-career move to the Minnesota Vikings in 2009 and Aaron Rodgers' potential signing with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Despite joining the Vikings late in the offseason, Favre had one of his best seasons at age 40, proving that veteran quarterbacks can excel without extensive offseason preparation. Rodgers, who has often been compared to Favre, might face similar skepticism, but history suggests he could succeed with the Steelers. Both quarterbacks have had parallel career paths, including multiple MVPs and playoff appearances, reinforcing the idea that experienced players can adapt quickly to new teams. The article explores the notion that smart, seasoned quarterbacks like Favre and Rodgers typically find ways to perform well, even with limited practice time.
