Strength of schedule is calculated from the opponents projected fantasy points allowed for the QB position. The best rating is +16 which gives the player the advantage against the defense and indicates an easy opponent, the worst rating is -16 which gives the defense the advantage and indicates a tough opponent.
There's much to like about Rodgers, so much that he's right around the edge of the top 5 fantasy QBs. A great TD to INT ratio in his first year as the starter indicates that 2009 should also be a prolific year. Green Bay has the aerial weapons, draft Rodgers early and enjoy.
Last season, the Packers had some awful luck. they outgained their opponents significantly but couldn't win games. They went 6-10 but 7 of those losses were extremely close, by an average of 3 points if memory serves me.
This season seems like ...
O-line, O-line, O-line , Tackle, Tackle lets start the chant...

Draft Analysis
Round 11, Pick 9
Positives Tons of talent around him in GB. Talented group or receivers and a decent running game. Good defense that will keep this team in most games. No cometition for the starting job. Negatives Replacing Brett Favre brings a huge amount of presure, that has been doubled or tripled due to the way the Favre soap opera was handled during the early part of training camp. Only has 59 career passes, and limited playing time. Every time he has played he has been hurt. Draft Strategy total need pick here. I wanted Philip Rivers but he went the pick before me. I see Rodgers as a spot starter if needed, with the posibility of him being borderline top 10 if he plays well this year and the Packers receivers continue to excell. (Contributed by: kuhnmd1528)
Round 11, Pick 10
Positives 3 years behind Favre shows he knows the system he is now in charge of on the field. I like his confidence. The management and players are behind him. There was enough confidence in him to send Favre packing so I can't wait to see why. Negatives Never has played and started a whole season so he is virtually untested. Draft Strategy I couldn't let him go by anymore. I knew he would be gone by my next pick or close to it. Now I have 2 Week 8 bye QBs...Lovely. He was the best on the board at the time and if nothing else he is a great 2nd option at QB. I'll figure something out for week 8. (Contributed by: RatSlinger)
Round 12, Pick 11
Positives Rodgers is one of the few remaining NFL starters on the board at QB. He is not going to step in and replace the Legend, however, judging by the early preseason games, the Packers are going to load up on high percentage passes for the young starter. Green Bay's WRs are the best in the league at gaining yardage after the catch, so some of the short hook ups could become long TD gainers. Negatives First year replacing Brett Favre, the pressure on him may be immense. Never a good idea to grab a young QB for fantasy in his first year on the job, but as my QB4, no problem. Draft Strategy I had no intention of grabbing my 4th QB here, but many other teams in this league are still riding with a single QB, and I simply can't pass up the value at this point in the draft. This is way beyond where Rodgers should have gone in the draft, and the leftovers at the position behind him are extremely thin. I'm a big proponent this year of waiting to get a QB in the middle rounds, then grabbing 3 NFL starters, with Rodgers on the board here, I can't resist. (Contributed by: doug_coutts)
