Where are the A-Rod Haters? -- Regular Season 1

[Guiness]

I'm with Mission on this one - did anyone hate Rodgers?

Some (ok, many) wanted Favre back instead of him. There were those that hated TT for not bringing Favre back, but I dk I saw any actual Rodgers haters.

Re: Peace Packer Nation

The original point of the thread was why should Packer fans hate A-Rod?

Who hates AROD ?

I don't think anybody does in here

Who hates Favre?

I can think of one or two for sure

[The Shadow]

thats fine.. its good he's not trying to be like Brett because he wouldn't succeed in doing so.. It was nice to see our offense only put up 14 instead of 34 and 23 like they did a year ago under the QB play of Brett Favre

This really gets old, but let's be honest here.

1) 24-7 = 17

2) How many did we put up in our first game last year against Philly? Try 9 points. I think that's as pertinent since the team was obviously rusty in its first game--just like last year. 3 points wiped off by a bad kick and 7 points on a great throw wiped out because an OL was downfield.

3) Weren't the Vikings supposed to be dramatically improved because they signed the "best DE" in the NFL?

Of course, Green Bay didn't have Jennings in game 1 last year, and they didn't have Ryan Grant and his 12 carries. Those would have helped Brett last year.

It is interesting though that Rodgers completed 81.8% and Brett never did that in a game where he threw more than 11 passes (he was 9 for 11 in that last game against Detroit). We'll see a different style of QB play from Rodgers. I think we can win with that style, but we'll see.

Just defending Brett.. and will continue to do so when guys like CPK give some jibber jabber about Brett compared to Arod.... there is no comparison, never will be

Especially if Rodgers can lead the Packers to more than one championship.

Yes, Merlin and Woody.

Like I said before, the title of this thread is wrong. Rodgers should be replaced with Thompson. Also, there are many posters that don't think Rodgers has what it takes to be a good NFL QB. (Maybe not so many now.) They are pissed that Thompson put his faith in Rodgers. We still don't know if Rodgers will be a good NFL QB, but people are making it sound like they had complete confidence that Rodgers would get the job done. I think that's what this thread is about. Personally, I think the thread is unnecessary. Things will play out. At the end of the day (in 2-3 years), we can judge how good this move was.

Thompson is too easy to hate. It's part of his job description to be hated, there's no imagination in hating him.

I want to hear somebody step up and say they hate Mike McCarthy for running Favre out of town. That takes some 'nads, or ovaries, as the case may be.

Insanely accurate quote....I for one (and have many that support this) that thought is was bush-league for TT to jettison Brett the Jet, yet I still avidly and will follow the most exciting player in NFL history game to game. As far as Arod, I and many others Favre fans DID NOT EVER waver on Arods progess. I was extremely glad he did well and looked good in game 1 vs. the Vikes. I wish him the best and the Packers (as that is my and most all posters on here or we wouldn't post) the best. Go Arod! This topic sucks.

Just sick of the Favre haters is all... wont take it, WILL NOT take it... Its BS that they can say whatever the hell they feel and if someone says anything bad about Arod or talks about Favre, then people come after them... even if they haven't posted in that convo... There is no reason that I cannot say Arod sucks, if he sucks.. just like if Clifton woulda sucked, I woulda said he sucked.. there should be no double standard

I think I just found out who Paco is. He had a similar rant about another famous person:

Who here hates Rodgers???

Merlin, and a few other malcontents. Though I think their hatred of Rodgers is mostly just an extension of their hatred of Ted.

Wrong once again. Get your head out of your ass, just because someone criticizes a player doesn't mean they "hate" them. Rodgers played well, the team as a whole did not and anyone who thinks they did needs to go watch the friggin tape again. We almost got beat by a terrible team. Does that mean I now hate the Packers too?

I guess what they say is right, you can't fix stupid...

You have been hating on him since the day he was drafted and called him a bust before he even puty on the uniform. Don't try to change history. Just admit you hate him. It's fine. No one cares. Also considering you changed your avartar to a Jets logo, I think there is some hate for the packers there now too.

I was searching through Merlin's old posts to see how he attacked Rodgers in the past. I wasn't able to find anything, but I did find this. Following a preseason game.
