Where are the A-Rod Haters

[sharpe1027]

His accuracy was off on a couple...he simply can't miss a wide open receiver 30 yards downfield like he did.

I still don't see how hitting a receiver in the hands after he turned awkwardly to look for the ball is "missing him." I suppose Rodgers could have thrown the ball differently to accommodate Jones. Then again, maybe we could hire someone to run down the field with him and tell him how to play the ball, too.

One of the announcers (I think Jaws) commented (and I agree) that Rodgers had to throw the ball a little early because of the pressure. It looks like Rodgers throws the pass before Jones makes his cut. I think that was the root of the problem. Rodgers didn't know exactly how Jones was going to come out of his break, and Jones had to locate a ball that was already in the air and then adjust his route.

do we really have any arod haters or is it just more pised at how TT handled it? I dont think most of us hate arod just pissed at TT or question TTs tactics I a glad he had a dececent night anyway I believe Arod will have many more yrs but I still wish farve would have had one more YR but will support Arod as the starter. I am a Brett fan but breath green and gold

there aren't any Arod haters or Favre haters.

It is just name calling, jostling for position in arguments. I think "Arod hater" got started by the people who were tired of being called "Favre hater." I know you are but what am I sorta deal.

yer kinda rational sometimes

Harv.. I watched the entire game.. don't need JSonline to feed me a line of dog poo...


He threw well, yes.. but not superb like a lot of you are going to say...


-He almost killed Jones on his TD pass...
-He missed badly to Martin on a 3rd down that coulda kept the drive alive
-He under threw Martin, but a great adjustment to the ball by him
-He didn't put enough air under the ball for Jones on a corner route for him to make an adjustment on a ball that needs to be completed... the guy was WIDE OPEN.. coulda been a huge play
-He held the ball way too much
-The pass to Francies was in a tight spot which was nice to see him have some guts to put a ball in there but the WR was hit basically at the same time as the guy tryin to catch it, those things happen


Overall Rodgers was very good at the roll outs and short passes of 10-12 yds and below but has a lot to improve on..


and I just wanna make it known that I think Rodgers did play well to a point.. but I'm not drinking the koolaid a lot of others seem to be or want to be drinking yet..

I agree your conclusion that he has some improvement to do, but:

-He under threw Martin, but a great adjustment to the ball by him

That looked like an intentional throw. You see those comeback throws all the time, especially to tall WRs.

-He didn't put enough air under the ball for Jones on a corner route for him to make an adjustment on a ball that needs to be completed... the guy was WIDE OPEN.. coulda been a huge play

See my post above, besides, that ball hung up in the air. There was definetly enough air under it. Arguably, it was not well placed.

-The pass to Francies was in a tight spot which was nice to see him have some guts to put a ball in there but the WR was hit basically at the same time as the guy tryin to catch it, those things happen

If he catches it cleanly, I think he has time to come down and duck under/into the hit. Instead, he reaches out for the ball as it bounces off his chest and then gets hit as he is extending for the ball.

I have never hated Aaron Rodgers, even when the Packers took him in the first round. They needed a back up QB and a QB to take over for Favre when the time came. He has been at the wrong end of this controversy from the start. He didn't push Favre out, he was just the guy that the Packers have apparently felt ready to start at QB. Rodgers has more pressure on him than any other QB in the game right now, and if he succeeds I think it will be a minor mircle in 2008.

I put my trust in Rodgers, simply because I have no other choice at this point.

Anyone who isn't spooning all over Aaron Rodgers is considered a hater. See you are either with everyone or you are a hater. Can't have your own opinion and make obvious observations without being considered a hater. I don't "hate" Aaron Rodgers. I thought picking him was a mistake and I still do. I think he has not progressed as quickly as he should have. He still looks raw to me but is improving. The key is if he can improve enough to keep us competitive, that remains to be seen. I support the Packers which means I support Rodgers as well. But I am a hater because I am not spooning over him.

I can't say that I am interested in spooning with Rodgers (not that there is anything wrong with that), but like you, I hope he does well. As for his rate of improvement, I think it is really hard to judge based upon limited time in a few preseason games and a few quarters of real action. We'll find out soon enough.

Lumping people into "hater" and/or "kool-aid drinker" groups is not usually a good way of discussing anything. Most people fall somewhere in between such extremes anyway.

I dunno, he does look kinda cuddly...

Agree with most points. I would emphasize that the Martin throw was pretty good. If he underthrew him by accident then obviously it was poor, but that's a good throw when a WR has some chemistry with their QB and these guys are not new to each other. I didn't see the replay on the Francies play so I'm not sure who to blame. Right off the bat I blame the WR 75%, not sure on the other 25%. The Jones long pass wasn't horrible, but wasn't laid in there.


Keep in mind folks, it's one preseason game.

The intercepted pass initially hit Francies smack on the strings ... you know, the strings in the front of the shoulder pads... where they tie them shits up.

... between the 8 and the 3 on the jersey.

I'm not sure sure it was possible to throw a more accurate pass in that situation. He thread the needle but Francies heard footsteps...
