RODGERS "PRIME TIME PERFORMER!"

[MOBB DEEP]

he was voted that on nfl primetime (trey wingo, etc...). "that rarely happens with the losing qb"

thats REAL cool; they gave him mad dap for "gutting it out" and havn great game. "He showed moxie..."


good to hear him get credit since some other talkn heads were tryn to say pack record woul;d be bettr if #4 was there (i.e., he's the piece thats missn). even i dont need to hear that all the time so this should help folk accross the country see arod has MAJOR upside; the boy can ball and the pack WILL be good for a minute (no thanks to tt of course - he he)

way to represent aaaron; slow start/this loss DOES NOT FALL ON U

[Chevelle2]

is this true? I am suspicious of the source.

I think playing with a shoulder injury is one thing, but to be able to throw at 67% accuracy, 300+ yds and 3 TDs is pretty impressive. Any QB who does that deserves some credit
No, I'm not being a homer or a Rodgers-fan -- if it were Favre or Manning, people would be talking about how tough he was and how great he played. I can almost imagine what Peter King and John Madden would be saying.

As to those who think the

pack record woul;d be bettr if #4 was there

I'd like to point out that #4 didn't play defense. IMO if your QB is throwing for 3TD you shouldn't be losing many games.

The O lost the TB game, and the D lost the ATL game. Hopefully they'll figure it out and start winning games together. Getting a healthy D would also help.

Rodgers will only keep getting better. If the team wasn't decimated with injuries then they probably would've won. Last year the team won 13 games because they had very few injuries and Favre had a good year. If you look back at the years the team had a lot of injuries Favre didn't always do too well, and if he carried the team it was to a 9-7 or 8-8 season. If the team can make it through the next two games and then have the bye week to get healthy they could make a strong second half run. That is my hope anyways.

Fingers firmly crossed!!

But, but, but, if the Pack wins, how are guys going to knock TT? WHAT are your priorities?!!!!!

if this plays well, wins... do u think anyone would be bitching? nope... the problem is, that its not winning and we now see the weaknesses that TT did not address... we were all fooled

What weaknesses? Elaborate please. We are down to our 4th safety, we are playing our 5th and 6th corners in dime situations, we lost our best run stuffing DE for the season, Charles Woodson is playing on a broken toe, AJ Hawk is playing with a groin injury... Are you implying that the weakness TT did not address is that our backups still play like backups? I can't agree, because backups cannot be expected to play as well as the starters. When the defense is hit this hard by injury, with several key players out with injury and several others playing through injury, the defensive production is going to plummet. That's the way it is.

How dare you you use common sense and facts. Don't you know on this forum people would rather blame TT becuase it feeds the their hate of the man?

I was also very impressed with Rodgers. Not only did he play through pain but he played effectively through pain! At one point in the game, he had a passer rating of 105--a respectable rating.

Though Rodgers has seemed to have been around for awhile, we have to remember last Sunday was just his fifth NFL start. He also started for the youngest team in pro football.

Overall, Rodgers has had a very solid start of the year. I am confident he will steadily improve as the season progresses.

I think that pretty well sums it up. There are some people who have not liked TT since day 1. It was tough to criticize him last year. With the early struggles, some are reaching a little to say that Favre carried the team and we were fooled by last years success. I don't buy it. TT put a good team on the field, the problem is that a good chunk of that team is out or playing through significant injury. We weren't fooled by anything, the defense is riddled with injuries and that is were the major problem on this team is right now.

OPF brings a good perspective to this. You've also got to think that ARod earned some huge locker room respect by gutting it out and playing well.

It's a tough-guy game, and while his teammates would probably have understood if he sat it out, he gained mucho kwan on Sunday.

the coaches should have told him he couldn't play. It would have been better for the team to let the injury heal for an extra week.

Ya, I know the team doctor said he isn't going to damage it further by playing with it, but he means he isn't going to do permanent structural damage. Anybody who has had that sort of sprain knows that rest is required for the sucker to heal.

The Packers have actually been very conserative about playing guys with injuries, they typically don't take foolish chances. I guess this was a close call, I disagree with the cost/benefits on their decision this time.

It's just an issue of dealing with the pain. He's not going to injure himself any worse. As long as he can function effectively as a QB and make all the throws required of him then it should be his call. If he can deal with the pain while still doing what is asked of him then I have no problem with him being in there.

Injury never kept Favre from making a start, even when that injury was a fractured thumb on his throwing hand - an injury that isn't going to heal very fast when he's taking 60 snaps from center every game on top of throwing 30+ passes. Or how about the wicked shot he took from LaVar Arrington a few years back when we saw his knee buckle and thought he'd never play football again. I don't recall a single person crying that Favre should have been sat down to let those or any of his other injuries heal. Not a soul. All anyone said about it was that he was a warrior with the heart of a champion - which is true. So why is Brett any different in this situation than Rodgers?
