head coach Matt LaFleur since the offseason program started earlier this month and one of the things that has come through for the players is the sense of a new beginning.LaFleur said on Tuesday that he will “always pay credit and respect” to the past successes of the Packers organization Bart Starr Jersey , but said that he’s focused on “making history” rather than living in it. LaFleur’s focus on now has found support from quarterback Aaron Rodgers.“I think the great thing about Matt is it’s been very clear messaging,” Rodgers said, via PackersNews.com. “He’s been great in front of the room. It’s a forward focus. It’s about building today for a better tomorrow. He’s done a great job of talking about how the most important thing is us moving forward together and having a deference and appreciation for the past.”The overall history of the Packers is a rich one, but missing the playoffs the last two years means the recent past hasn’t been quite as fruitful. Moving past all of it will be necessary for LaFleur to truly make a fresh start in Green Bay. Giants wide receiver Golden Tate is laying out the best-case scenario for the Giants replacing longtime franchise quarterback Eli Manning with rookie first-round pick Daniel Jones.Tate said on SiriusXM NFL Radio that he’s impressed with what he’s seen of Jones Ray Nitschke Color Rush Jersey , and believes that for the Giants, the quarterback transition can be as successful as the one the Packers had when the went from Brett Favre to Aaron Rodgers.“We’re hoping that he can respond to pressure. If Eli breaks a shoelace or something, he won’t even miss a beat,” Tate said of Jones. “The good news with Dan’s situation is he is sitting right behind a Hall of Fame-type quarterback https://www.thepackersfanshop.com/Reggie-White-Jersey , so he is going to have an opportunity to learn some incredible tools that can help him in the future. So I hope it’s kind of like that Brett Favre to Aaron Rodgers kind of situation, eventually.”There are, however, some major differences between the Giants’ current situation and the Packers’ situation when Rodgers took the reins from Favre. For starters Aaron Rodgers Jersey , the Packers were a good team when Favre left: He led Green Bay to a 13-3 record and NFC Championship Game appearance in his final season with the Packers. The Giants have gone 3-13 and 5-11 the last two years and aren’t expected to be very good this year, either.And, frankly, Manning isn’t as good a quarterback as Favre was Randall Cobb Color Rush Jersey , and Jones is highly unlikely to be as good as Rodgers. The comparison may show Tate’s optimism, but it’s not a particularly apt comparison.
