INDIANAPOLIS -- How many people remember what the Green Bay Packers' record was in Aaron Rodgers' first season as their starting quarterback?
Brian Gutekunst, 10 years away from his promotion to general manager when Rodgers took over in 2008, sure does.
“It was an interesting year,” said Gutekunst, who was a Packers area scout back then. “He had really good, flashy moments but I think he started those 16 games, and I think we were 6-10.”
The Packers started 4-4 in 2009, meaning they were 10-14 through Rodgers’ first 24 games as a starter.
