Pretty fair assessment. -
Who is E. Homer?
Rodgers = STUD
Like any QB will make every throw. Good God. You want to talk about what ifs? What if Lee had caught that perfect throw for a TD? Then, you are looking at 24 for 30 for 240 yards and 3 TDs. People cream themselves when other QBs play that well. Different standard for this QB."There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great.

It's me.
Rodgers does not go on the stud list. He missed two sure touchdowns. In a close game that's the difference between winning and losing. You can't miss a guy wide open running down the middle because you are afraid of the blitz. He's going to get blitzed his whole career. Next year I think he will be comfortable enough with the blitz pick ups to make the throw he should have.
I didn't add or subtract from Rodgers performance for Lee's drop.But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

I think we're a little spoiled if we want more than Rodgers gave us today. Considering what happened last week, I'm not going to complain at all if Rodgers decides to check down to the TE instead of going deep when facing a blitz. Sure he screwed up on the Urlacher throw, but his accuracy and efficiency were driving the Chicago D into fits. I'll take it.
That said, good write up Dan. Got any more insights from the attending fan perspective?Comment

I'm not going to complain too much about Arod not making the studs list.
Something odd, though, about the pick. I didn't get all that pissed. He moved well in the pocket to get free, stepped up, and delivered the ball to the right guy. He had a physical breakdown with the throw, no question, but I liked his awareness and decisionmaking.
I can live with some physical mistakes from a first-year starter. I'm guessing he won't underthrow that one again.
And maybe he'll be incentivized to try harder next week so that he breaks back in to the studs category. You know from the play calling that those dudes all read packerrats.Comment

That's right, when the dumb bastard learns to scramble left as much as he scrambles right and quits trying to hit guys over the shoulder on a line he will be a stud. He had all day back there to hit wide open receivers. I don't even remember him getting touched today.Originally posted by ThunderDanComment

Ryan Grant ran so hard and the o-line keep Chicago out of the backfield. I wish he would deliver some punishment to the safety though instead of taking it.Comment

I think he took and gave some punishment.Originally posted by The Gunshooter

Are so many Packer fans still in the "Favre Withdrawal Mode" that they have to complain about any shortcoming Rodgers might have?!Originally posted by boiga
Geez, give the first-year starting, 24 year old guy some credit! Yes, he made some mistakes but his positives FAR overweighed his mistakes.
Among Rodgers' strengths all season has been his decision-making. He rarely makes the "bone-headed" plays we were frequently used to seeing Favre make as a veteran QB.
They guy belongs on the Studs list, IMO.Comment

Sorta. Isn't that the point of the stud list? The guys who blew you away and dominated? Rodgers missed a few too many throws and especially that pass where he really underthrew Driver that was intercepted. Man that was an ugly play. Still he wasn't on the duds list which I agree with. He was good but not a stud today. Too many missed opportunities.Originally posted by HarveyWallbangersComment

My take on the Rodgers INT is this. He was running forward he saw no one in the middle think about how far down the field was 54. That would tell you how far Rodgers could have ran. So at the last second he saw Driver get separation so he threw it. I could see on the sideline he was more upset with himself for not taking the 26 yards on the scramble then the INT.Comment

Those fans need to realize that Favre hadn't beaten the Bears at Lambeau since 2001. That's six consecutive defeats.Originally posted by oregonpackfan
Rodgers accomplished it his first time around.

Sorry OPF but this has nothing to do with Favre. Please leave him out of this so the thread doesn't get jacked.Originally posted by oregonpackfan
Rodgers had all day to throw and played a good game. His receivers were WIDE open. He just wasn't a stud. In fact his best "non-TD" throw was to Lee that was dropped.
The touchdown to Jennings was good recognition only. Jennings was in man coverage 15 yards away from anyone. The CB had outside leverage so Jennings ran inside and Rodgers hit him.
The touchdown to Lee was set-up by our run offensive. Rodgers made a good play-action fake and the whole Bears defense got sucked up inside leaving Lee 3 yards past the coverage.
I've put Rodgers on the Stud list before; I am sure that I will do that again.But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.
