Brett Favre Asks, "What Took Rogers So Long?"

In a radio interview Tuesday, Brett Favre expressed how he feels about Aaron Roger's success. On Atlanta's 790 The Zone, Favre said....

"I'm going to be honest, I was not surprised,"..."The biggest surprise to me would be that he didn't do it sooner."

"He's very bright and he got a chance to watch and see successful teams do it right,"..."And so he just kind of fell into a good situation. On top of that, he's a good player. I don't think there's any pressure on him now, the talent around him is even better than when I was there."

"Aaron had a chance ... even though the last couple years it's seemed like he's almost a rookie, he's been around a while,"..."And I'd like to think that he watched, he learned, and then when he got a chance to play, he brought in his ability -- which is obviously very good or they wouldn't have drafted him in the first round."

"I'm really kind of surprised it took him so long,"..."In the early part of last season, it hadn't quite clicked yet, and I didn't know it would. I just kind of figured when they hit their stride, they're going to be hard to beat. And that's what happened."

I smell a few backhanded comments in there, no?
