Agree here, for sure. And I do think the Packers got the better of that trade. I don't miss any of Rodgers's antics.
I also wonder - forum clown that I am - if, as incredible as Rodgers's arm was and his ability to see the whole field (even if he didn't want to throw into the middle of it), he didn't, in some ways, drag the Packers down. Once it became the "Aaron Show and Nobody Else," not entirely through Rodgers's fault, the team always seemed to be waiting for him to do something or to tell them what to do. The offense seemed, often, to get bogged down. There was no rhythm to the offense, at all. Just bogged down play after bogged down play, then Rodgers throwing a strike to Adams for the first down, then rinse and repeat until the whole thing got bogged down near the red zone. Not all his doing, as I said - but some of it was, with the eye-rolling and the Mason-level mystery signals at the line of scrimmage.
Now the whole team seems to be taking responsibility. Like, it's a team again, and not Aaron-Rodgers-and-everybody-else.
I don't know how long that will last, but I am enjoying rooting for this version of the Packers more than the last four or so years of Rodgers here, MVP's and all.
