Aaron Rodgers.

I think the next big test for Rodgers will be how he handles the adversity of a poor performance. He'll have one at some point, as everyone does, and how he bounces back will show a lot about his ability to handle adversity.

Excellent point, Scott.

When I saw him during the preseason in 2007 I said to myself that right there is the best QB on the team. That's saying a lot considering there was a top ten QB of all-time ahead of him on the depth chart.

I would say Rodgers is doing a little better than expected, but I always had high hopes he would perform well. He's going to have off days, as all QB's do, but I just hope not soon.

You gotta love these numbers though!

I didn't know what to expect. I had a feeling Aaron would be okay but not this good - so far. I was hopeful but I hadn't seen enough of his play to even make an educated guess on how he would perform once he took over the reins. I am very pleased - as is most of Packer Nation - with his play so far this season!

[cheesner]

I expected AR to do this well, just maybe not this soon in the season. He is very talented, seems to have his head in the game, did very well in his limited opportunities, and he works hard.

There is no telling how good AR and the Packers can be this year. This next game will be very important to AR and the Packers season - or at least league perception.

You guys do realize, that performing this well would be the greatest performance of a quarterback ever? Brady finished with a 115 last year.

It's only been 2 games..Rodgers only has the 6th best QB rating in the NFL right now..he will come back down

The next game against the Cowboys is extremely important to AR and the season. If AR can master the Cowboys that will be something...even Favre in his prime could rarely beat the Cowboys.

[mmmdk]

I don't remember Big Ben's rating in his rookie year but he went 15-1!

I like Packer wins!

I said Packers will go 9-7 in 2008, ain't changing that, 'cos I won't jinx this up - the B way

Rodgers has been playing a little above how I expected him to play. Not to sound like Tex, but he has been set up for success. He's gotten rid of the ball quickly and has gotten the ball in the hands of the playmakers.

3 things about him have surprised me the most

1. How well he throws the slant
2. How well he throws the deep ball
3. His decision-making. He hasn't seemed to make a bad read yet, as none of his passes have even been closed to being picked off. (Knock on wood)

No knock on Favre, but you knew there would be 2-3 chances every game where the defenders would have a play on the ball. We heard it every week from opposing defenses.

Also, Rodgers throws a very nice ball IMO. Every single pass seems to be a perfect spiral. I really like his throwing motion. He puts a ton of zip on the ball but it doesn't really look like he has to load up to do it.

[Scott Campbell]

His pocket awareness has been a pleasant surprise also. He created a bunch of plays with his legs against the Lions.


I imagine it won't be long now until somebody starts the dreaded thread on how he would have fared against the G-Men last January.

I truely believe we would have one that game had we subbed in Rodgers. I felt this way at the time.

I also believe his "hamstring injury" was an exageration, or possibly a flat out lie. Why? Because had we subbed in Rodgers in the last week of the season vs Detriot, like we did with Nall, Rodgers would have had such an insane performance, that enterting the playoffs, we would have had a gigantic QB controversey.

I believe this is just silly. Favre was one of the top three QBs in the league last year. Rodgers could have went 30 for 30 in the last game, and there wouldn't have been a QB controvery.

I'm also of the belief that it's a rat hole we don't want to go down.
