The Green Bay Packers' quarterbacks - past and present - remain in the news this week as we gradually inch closer and closer to the start of the team's training camp. The players will report to camp on Monday with practice starting on Tuesday, and all of the players on offense including Aaron Rodgers have their sights set on a more productive offense this season.
One of Rodgers' best weapons over the past few years was particularly ineffective last season, as the team struggled with the play-action pass. Compare that to 2014 and other prior seasons, when the team's running game was productive and Rodger has great success drawing in defenders with his great play-fakes.
Also getting closer day by day is Brett Favre's enshrinement into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and today's Cheese Curds feature a pair of articles on the gunslinger - one on his degenerative hip condition that ended up being mostly a non-issue and another on how he learned to appreciate his time in Wisconsin by going away for a while.
Finally, the Packers' Shareholders Meeting is about to begin as this article goes live, so stay tuned for updates from the meeting.
