I honestly think Rodgers is better
Rodgers is the new Brady. Just win
I disagree. Winning is an art that's hard to pin down. AR has become a great leader and great person. By being so unselfish and letting other people get credit, he helps empower everyone around him and sets an example to do your part and feel good about that part even if it's not glorious.
I respect him and admire his leadership. And a game with 45 guys pulling yogether, sometimes leadership is a quality that can't be quantified but a quality I really look for
I agree there are some things that Rodgers has mastered - he's been there, done that, knows the offense, can go through progressions, sees the big picture as it unfolds.
But I think Wilson now has all those skills, and is more mobile and, I think, a more accurate passer.
If Geronimo Allison and Trevor Davis could always play against zone defenses, you'd really have something.
As it is, each is late period, aged Antonio Freeman without having had a super star Antonio Freeman prime.
Which I think boils gbgary's question down to this: Does Gute rectify the WR position to Rodgers standards or The Flower?
I bet its the Flowers and you have to hope one candidate turns in a Lazard like mind meld.
In a zone today, can feel the reasons Jennings and Finley had beefs. Either that or too much coffee.
I'm on a roll, hang on.
Which boils down the age old management question to this:
If Gute wants to win, now and in the near future, you give one to Rodgers (maybe FA here) and one or two to The Flower. You run with Rodgers O while everyone's health holds out, but you make that guy understand he needs to run Flower Time if WRs or OL get banged up.
Else Rodgers goes to mentor Sam Darnold.
Rodgers current predicament is not wanting to throw contested balls to receivers he doesn't trust to go get them. Its Favre's issue with Schroder and Original Fraud combined.
Teams have stymied Rodgers at times over the last 6-7 years playing man and 2 deep. When you see 2 deep, run 2 guys deep and leave the middle open for crossers. Teams have been doing this to the Packers for a lot of years.
Who's had the better career? Rodgers. Who's had the better season? Wilson. Who is actually better right now? Now, that is close. If you give me the choice of the two with equal receivers and equal line, I will take Rodgers.
I don't think there's much doubt about it. The way Wilson is playing now, plus Aaron Jones and that offensive line? And Green Bay's defense, which is a trump card for them this year? Wilson and the Packers would roll the Seahawks. Rodgers would be overthrowing Lockett and underthrowing Metcalf, then scowling after he stalks off the field when it's fourth and five and he just missed on yet another long shot down the field.
If we were in the same room, Zool, I'd scowl at you and roll my eyes. Maybe shrug my shoulders in disgust, even though - or perhaps because - you're right.
No matter what else happens, I will be forever grateful to finally find out why Jimmy Johnson was mad at Dan Marino.
The dink and dunk is working, Why can’t he see that?
