So Brett Favre's gone, and it's Aaron Rodgers show now.

The kid made his first start of the preseason against the Bengals on Monday night. So how'd he do? 9-for-15, 117 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT, led two scoring drives and was sacked twice. He left the game with a 10-0 lead (Green Bay eventually lost).

"I understand the attention around him, his performance tonight and him playing tonight." Packers coach Mike McCarthy told reporters afterwards. "But I saw Aaron just like he is every day. I thought he went out there, he played with excellent energy, which I always recall him playing with. I think he’s done a really good job being consistent, and understanding that the microscope is on him."

So how would you grade his performance in the Cincinnati game?

I honestly think he did fine. If the coach thinks he played how he should, then it should be fine. I think he may have to start making decisions a little quicker, but that should be self taught as he plays more.

All in all a fine first performance for him in my opinion.
