Winner among NFL quarterbacks Alex Smith and Aaron Rodgers a tough call -- LA Times. Sam Farmer writes: "The cash disparity told the story. Smith's contract guaranteed him $24.5 million -- almost five times as much as Rodgers was assured. And whereas Smith would play right away, Rodgers would wait again, holding a clipboard for the most durable quarterback in NFL history. A winner and a loser? These days, it's not so easy to say."

Who is Aaron Rodgers? He is the player who is replacing a legend -- Brett Favre. His hero? Joe Montana.
