Also Pittsburgh gave up a fair number of sacks last year with mobile QB's, which isn't a good sign for Rodgers. Rodgers habit of letting the 'perfect play' be the enemy of the good play will not serve him well as he ages and has to adjust to new receivers who don't know his quirks. He'll make a few great plays that get his fans excited, but overall it won't be much different than last year was for him.
Age takes no prisoners. In fantasy baseball I refuse to draft a player over 32. Its amazing how quickly these guys lose it right about there. For a QB its more like 37-38, but I never draft a RB over 30 or a WR over 32. It serves me well. Go look at the leaders for points league baseball and you might find 3 guys in the top 40 that are 33 and older. Judge would be one, he's a freak and holding on a bit longer. But take a look at guys who are 33/34 and dropped off. Salvador Perez, Semien, Christian Walker. Even Betts and Harper are showing signs of decline.
