Where are the A-Rod Haters -- Part 3?

[rbaloha1]

Impressive performance -- where is the love?

BTW what happens if A-Rod had a dismal performance? Why are the negatives emphasized the positives dismissed?

Your thoughts Packer Nation.

I wonder if we're going to have 20 of these separate threads ?

I think this one in particular is a must. If you are going to come in last week and tear ARod a new one, you better have the nuts to come in here today and give Aaron his props and not backhanded either. I think ARod did very well and is very capable of leading this team to the playoffs. Now, if we can just work on that DL........

This almost makes me miss the "Ted is trapped in the closet" threads !!!

ya it's great for the posters with opposing views to keep jamming each other based on how AROD plays each week

Rodgers played well.

I think most who question the decision to go with Rodgers instead of Favre aren't believing that Rodgers will be consistently crappy. They believe Rodgers is going to be very up and down this year...which is only typical for a first time starter.

To this point, I can't say that Rodgers has done anything to disprove that he may be relatively inconsistent in 2008. Bad scrimmage...decent preseason opener...bad game @SF...very good game @DEN.

I expect the up and downs to continue for much of the year. No point in getting all excited about a single good performance or a bad one. He's going to go through both.

I should prefact this........I think the original poster had good intent and doesn't have a history of the I told you so menality.

I missed the game, but it sounds like AROL played awesome. To be honest I'm not going to be high or low on him until probably halfway into the regular season and I do my best to keep an even keel about him.

ALl Im saying is that if you are going to jump all over Aaron for bad play, like last week and predict gloom and doom, the least you can do is come back in and give Aaron praise and credit when he earned it. This isn't about jamming anybody. It's about being fair to ARod, which some can't.

Nope....23 of them

I didn't go into the Arod hate threads last week. There are a couple posters that I just skip over their posts. When they are in a back and forth conversation in a thread I won't read the thread. There is a very easy thing we all can do if we don't like something. Don't read it. It's acctually very easy to do.

Gosh I sure hope so

I agree, Leaper. It's going to be an up and down season, I think we all expect that. Heck, look at Favre's first 2-3 years in the league.... I remember yelling at Holmgren on TV to bench the guy!!

Gotta have patience with Rodgers and I think most of us realize that he isn't Favre, nor will be ever be Favre. We just want him to be successful in GB and that there will be some growing pains associated with that.

[RashanGary]

I hope he's a lot more consistant than FAvre was early in his career. I don't think he'll make the spectacluar plays that Favre made early in his career, but I hope he doesn't make as many dumb mistakes that FAvre made through his whole career (until last year and a couple of years under Holmgren).

I think we might need one for the pro-bowl too.

Heck, look at brett from post MVP's thru the '06 season....that was up and down.
