>> in this list, i would take aaron rogers, as well. just because of the fact that he has another year under his belt. last year to replace a future hall of famer, a legend, was tough mentally for him, and he still went out there and flourished and did well. so i would say aaron rogers, and also you know what brett favre went through last year. it was tale of two season, first half where he was great, and then the last part of the season where he fell off. i think that impacts his vote, as well, but all indications i'm hearing also is that matthew stafford will be a beast, but at the same time, we have to see that during the regular season as a rookie in the nfl. but i would go with aaron rogers. that's a smart bet. he did a great job last year. >> sports nation, at least to my surprise, just edging out brett favre. i think biggest surprise is jay cutler there at third. you hear so much about jay cutler's rocket arm. this conference, the n.f.c., we've seen the domination coming from the a.f.c. with the powerhouses like the steelers, the

aaron rogers has had a pretty good year under his belt. where is he now in year two as the starter?, listen, he just is that much more comfortable. i think everybody pretty much has analyzed it. nobody could have handled the situation last year better than aaron rogers did both on and off the field. off the field he never looked rattled by what was going on behind the scenes with brett favre. i think one reason is because mike mccarthy assured him he was the guy. the other thing is he performed very well on the field. now, they didn't end up with the victories, but most people would say that wasn't his fault. i know almost everybody would say that wasn't his fault. >> morty, the specter of brett favre i guess sort of lingers because there's a lot of thought the packers would have to play favre and the vikings twice this year if favre did indeed come back. what sense do you have the packers are relieved they won't have to go through that? >> i didn't have a sense they were really concerned with it. and i don't know what the reason why. i mean, as a lot of people always say, well, it'

after watching aaron rogers flourish in his first full season awith the charges, he has the possibilityinging in michael vick. gm ted thompson addresses that issue. >> what is the answer that we give to he questions like this? we're always looking to improve our team. we look at all options at all times. i wouldn't care to speculate in terms of the odds or percentages or anything like that. >> we had discussions about a large number of things. we're always talking personnel. it doesn't mean anymore that we're likely to do it or less likely. it's a routine that we go through. it's automatic. >> there are many teams that have ruled out bringing in michael vick. there are eight teams that have publicly expressed that same sentiment. that includes six playoffs and two with the titans and cardinals. they have a high price first round pick. matt leinart is their back-up qb. >> he doesn't have to worry about brett favre. of tavaris jackson is dealing with a mild ncl sprain. he's on the mend. and he made it clear the injury is not as bad as originally thought. >> at first i thought it was bad.
