Brohm no threat to Rodgers

Aaron Rodgers says he doesn't feel any pressure from Brian Brohm, the rookie quarterback selected in the second round of the NFL draft in April.

Rodgers, who already has the unenviable task of following retired three-time MVP Brett Favre, said Packers coach Mike McCarthy and general manager Ted Thompson have voiced their confidence in him, and even teammates, such as receiver Donald Driver, can't help but interject their opinion.

"Mike said I'm the guy, Ted said I'm the guy, Donald thinks I'm the guy ..." Rodgers said.

"You the guy!" Driver shouted as he walked by.

Rodgers said he thinks Brohm has picked up the offense pretty well so far.

Brohm said it has been much different from being a rookie in minicamp to the first organized team activities with the veterans.

"The game's faster, the defense is faster, everything's moving around a lot quicker, and you get to see how the plays are supposed to be run," he said.

I know there has been a lot of speculation about what drafting Brohm in implies when it comes to Aaron Rodgers.

I don't see it at all. I really like Rodgers and I think he is handling all the naysayers and "speculation" very well.

I like Brohm as well, I think he has great potential. I think we do need a good backup, but this really is Rodgers time to shine. He recently said in an interview, "I've been waiting my whole life for this"

No doubt! I think he's going to be great.
