The Brett Favre-Green Bay Packers reconciliation process may have taken yet another turn in the right direction after the future Hall of Famer once again praised current quarterback Aaron Rodgers in a radio interview with Sirius XM NFL Radio on Thursday. Favre told the program that he believes Rodgers will "shatter" his records barring serious injury.

"Aaron has played extremely well, probably even better than anyone anticipated, but I knew he was capable of that and that's why they drafted him," Favre said. "Barring any injury he'll shatter everything I ever did there except for maybe consecutive games."

Once quite possibly the most popular player in Packers history, Favre retired after the 2007 season, then unretired that offseason in July 2008. With the Packers moving forward, he was traded to the New York Jets and eventually signed with the rival Minnesota Vikings the following offseason, a move that further spurned the Packer faithful.

"I understood that they had a young quarterback who had tremendous potential, that they had to find out what he could do," Favre said Thursday on SiriusXM, according to ProFootballTalk.com. "And, quite frankly, I had probably my best year in 16 years that past season, and there's two ways to look at that. If you're in the organization and you're making decisions you got to feel like, 'OK, he had a great year, but he's probably maxed out.' That's kind of what I would have been thinking. Now, obviously my side of it is, 'I think I still can play.' The way it went down was not the best of ways, and I think people have learned from it, and, again, I'm over it."

However, Favre and the Packer organization are looking to put the past behind them. Thursday's comments once again show that both sides are moving closer to welcoming the Packer legend back to Lambeau.

Favre currently holds NFL passing records for yards passing (71,838), touchdowns (508), attempts (10,169), completions (6,300) and interceptions (336). Favre also holds the NFL record for consecutive starts, with 297 over 19 seasons, as well as career victories with 186.
