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

[HarveyWallbangers]

Totally different concept. People would come into threads with Favre articles and bitch about Favre content on here. So yeah, if you don't want to read about him, don't read the thread.

To be fair, that was me you responded to, and it wasn't just Favre content. It was a thread with a title calling the "GB Brass" idiots. Like we haven't had enough of the name calling. That's what I was saying maybe we could move on from.

[SnakeLH2006]

I don't mind the sniping, some of you are quite funny while being just a little snide and mean. Others substitute emotion and bile; those are not as much fun.

I just wish we could come up with something besides haters and lovers. Perhaps:

For Rodgers Supporters: Prefer Upside Spirited Singleminded Youth

For Favre Supporters or People Concerned Over This Year's Super Bowl Window - Prefer Adult Nervy Sagacious Yokel



And if those acronyms need to be in the Romer Room or GC, then just delete this post Mods. Just jokes.

How about he Favre Supporters are the

Guys that want the great one night stand

And the Rodgers supporters are the

Chick or Guy who wants the serious long term relationship

Don't get me wrong....had long term relationships with girls from 15-25.....been single and been craving/loving that big play with freedom over the past 2 years. Yea, a Favre supporter, but more importantly a Packer/Arod supporter.

The sure thing in a relationship is great, but sometimes you wanna launch one deep (do things that traditional girls/QB's won't do regularly)...Those special girls/QB's become MVP's....MVP's win championships (the things you'll remember and cherish long after your playing glory). Let's hope (and I support Arod in spite of our ex's exploits ((good and bad)) does those things to win the big one.

what was your technique for luring the 15-year-olds? The old hot tub?

I think the dinking and dunking was more intended to allow him to get into a rhythm. I think once he's more difficult to stop while dinking and dunking is when they start to set him loose a bit more. I think the idea is to let him start with something he can have success with and build consistency on first.

smart lady.

Yea, I remember screaming back in the day as holmgren would have favre throwing a 6 yard pass on 3rd and 10. It was smart then and its smart now. Our QB this season has a disting goal of not screwing up too bad, making just enough plays that the overall talent of the team carries us.

[Merlin]

Rodgers looked decent against Denver. I think the play calling was more to build his confidence and more in-line with that. The short passes on 3rd and long, etc. Also there were mor ehot reqad slants and underneath patterns this game that were sorely lacking against the 49er's. He looked VERY jumpy back there, more-so then I have seen him thus far, with good reason no doubt. The line stinks, and no amount of merry-go-round is going to fix it. We simply do not have the right players in there. My fears are still that the line will cut short anything Rodgers has to offer this team. I fear Rodgers will be compelled into making decisions based upon past experiences with his line's blocking. I think Rodgers can be a very good QB, but this line isn't helping him or the team. But then again "we like who we have here".

what fool would call GB brass idiots??

[Tyrone Bigguns]

I don't think you are wrong Ty.

My point was just that this wasn't a jaw dropping "awesome" performance by Rodgers. His stats were great because he played safe and the receivers made plays, but Rodgers was merely "very good." If he can maintain this level consistently for the rest of his career, we should all be satisfied. However, it would make him a journeyman caliber QB and not the HOF'er that some of us are hoping he develops into.

I disagree about the journeyman part. You know, there are plenty of very good qbs that aren't hof.

He's gonna be a first ballot HOFer, no doubt....bronze the bust now.

mature.......what TB said was very true.

[bobblehead]

I know, I was being sarcastic since so many people are quick to call him a failure if he doesn't do everything brett did last year.

[Noodle]

TB is dead right. Lamonica with the Raiders, Jones with the Colts, Craig Morton with the Cowboys and Broncos, Plunkett with the Pats and Raiders, Anderson with the Bengals, McMahon with the Bears, Kenny Stabler for the Raiders; and Earl Morrall for the Colts/Dolphins. No HoF. But some high quality qb play.

That's just off the top of my old-foggy head. I don't care if Arod is an HoFer. I care that he steps up as a leader, plays smart, and gives us a chance every week.

Not to start a fight with anyone but didn't we have those 3 things and HOF play?.. thats the reason all this is so mind boggling to a lot of Favre fans and GB Packer fans is that we had the best... and now he's playing for someone else.. call me a whiner all you want but I want the best players on our team and that didn't happen in the offseason this time... but hopefully we'll be good enough to keep on winning

[Lurker64]

Brett didn't always play smart and (in recent years) he didn't always give you a chance to win every week. Some weeks Favre would just play terribly and never get out of that funk, for reasons that I still don't understand. The game in Chicago last year was an example of that, for reasons I will never understand, Favre got completely outplayed by Kyle Orton.

[Pacopete4]

I'm not sure why my font was so big.. but I agree Lurker. But I think if you play as many games as he has, youre going to get shitty ones sometimes.. its just how games are. I think the greatest thing about him was he was here every game, and going into every game he could win or lose the game with a lot of it being because of his play.. it made for an exciting 16 years, thats all I know.

[Packerarcher]

I never considered myself an AROD hater,I just always thought when Favre was available he was the OBVIOUS choice. AROD looked decent in Denver,he definately has some talent. But I still think he is fragile,if he can stay healthy this year I see the Pack going 8-8.
