Where are the A-Rod Haters

[mission]

Rodgers looked fucking great tonight. Way better than I have ever remember Favre playing in a preseason game.

It's preseason, I know ... with a backup running back in there also ...

Paco you look almost as bad as partial (fair!) usually does ... 10 in the first... 40-0 extrapolation ... ill take it.

considering EVERYTHING, Rodgers showed tonight EXACTLY what ive been saying in all these threads..

he's calm, cool, and can make the throws.

i, for one, was so happy to see him take a couple of those sacks.

at least one of those situations was a brett pick. yalready know.

All I really saw was a guy hanging his receivers out to dry with high and almost out of reach passes. The receivers looked pretty good catching some poorly thrown passes and making some plays with them.

What? Know one here mention anything about the confidence the MM showed with Rodgers and giving him the whole playbook. In the pregame show Johnson and Carter was saying that the Packers would have to strip down there playbook this year with Rodgers. So what does MM do. He has him run a no back set 4 times in this game. He ran the same type plays Favre would run.

Side note: Mike Ditka was the only one saying he thought the Packers would still win the Division. The others where shocked that he took that stand.

I saw that, too. The commentary guys covering the game should be ashamed of themselves. I wanted to hit them. All 3 of them.

A-Rod is MM's quarterback of choice so this may be the first time to see his offense run by the book, so to speak.

In spite of the great success last season, this season might actually be MM's breakout season if the defense keeps them in the games and the offense is run efficiently.

Promising start and nice to hear the fans really cheer A-Rod when he was introduced. I hope the rowdy ones will take a clue from the majority and show some balance.

Their coverage was terrible, half the time Tony Kornholer was blabbering his man-love for Brett Favre and they were ignoring the game, I wanted to hit him too, Jaws was ok. ARod saw the open receivers and threw for a TD, it was sloppy but it was his first preseason game as a starter and I thought he was calm, I was happy with it. At least he knows when to throw it away on a busted play. I did get nervous when the DT had him by the ankles, they should get a veteran QB after the final round of cuts.

on a side note.. our running game stunk once again.. I sure hope it don't take us 8-10 games like last season because I'm not sure Rodgers will be good enough at the start to get us to 8-1, 9-1...

Uhm... our first two backs averaged 6 yrds a carry between them. That "stinks" to you?

thats against the #1 D from Cincy... Cincy's D is horrid and we had 2 carries for 38 yards and then 4 for 6....


consistency is the best thing about sports..

Psst. Ryan Grant didn't play. IUts the first game of the PRE season. Chill okay.

I slightly disagree. I think the ESPN bias against the Ppackers management has clouded your judgement of these three. Kornhieser, I agree with you. Jaws and Tirico, I stongly disagree. They wer very complimentrary of Rodgers and went out of their way that Rodgers wasn't at fault on the INT. Jaws, inparticular, was very good. Considering ESPN's biuas the last two months, the fairness shown here was very suprising.

FIrst of all those two makeing that kind of a statement shows you what ill informed clowns they really are. Rodgers has been here at least as long as McCarthy. There is no reason to stip down the playbook at all.

What you had this week were the season ticket holders who are true fans and have class. Big difference over last week where they probably just rounded up all the drunks from all the bars and GB.

Sign up for your division for Fantasy Football you homo.

its pretty simple.. Rodgers went out and played a solid ball game

And then some people start trying to pick apart the 3-4 plays that didn't work and translate them into a wider problem that doesn't exist.

[Sparkey]

you don't think he was inaccurate tonight?

he was a little high on 3 or 4 throws. But generally he was was on target. If a full game, he would settle down. I thought he looked very good overall.

Madtown "Jaws" Packer was able to identify some technical problems with Rodger's mechanics, something about his release point. I don't have the QB expertise to comment.

It seems as though thats been a big thing since he's been drafted by us.. Where he holds the ball and where his release point is and how much wasted movement he has... I dunno, just things I've heard, I haven't seen him throw enough to actually look at it

Does no one listen to anything. Jaws said he used to hold it high, like most Tedford coached quarterbacks, but by being taught "old school" how to play the game, his hold point has gradually dropped down to wear it should be. Jaws even demonstrated where he used to hold it and where it is now.

I thought, for a first pre-season game, he was excellent. After all, its not like he has had two and three years to build a bond with all the receivers. As far as the comment about forcing a ball in a tight spot. Favre does that all the time and at times, it also is intercepted. In fact the bounce off the receivers chest into a defender looked exactly like some of Favres picks last year.

It was good that MM went deep to the same side of the field, immediately after missing to Jones. Shows confidence in your players. He also showed the willingness to stand in the pocket and take a hit to let his receivers get open. I thought in the Dallas game, he ran a bit too much at times.

[Partial]

Let's not get carried away. He wasn't perfect or even great. He put in a solid B performance against a vanilla defense. I am excited to see what he can do when he has an entire half to work with on Saturday.
