Aaron Rodgers

[MOBB DEEP]

Wouldn't surprise me if Rodgers ends up with more superbowl wins than Favre. He seems to be better at playing within a system and letting the team win a game, rather than trying to carry it all on his own shoulders.

WHOA....

alot of the blame DOES fall on his shoulders today...

It wasn't his greatest day, that's for sure. Even still, he wasn't the biggest problem. He's still fighting back from 2nd half deficits to tie or take the lead late in the game, only to have the defense and ST's give it away. That's the biggest problem IMO.

He's an average NFL starter. I'd say he'd be ranked 15-18, somewhere in that range. He's certainly not worth the big money they paid him.

He has 6 years to earn the full amount of the contract P. Assume he's going to only get better from here. What if he becomes a top 5 QB in a few years, were the Packers wrong to give him such a big contract to keep him here in Green Bay?

Yes. They overpaid for him early. He earns more than Tony Romo. Tony Romo is 10x the quarterback and man that A-Rod is right now.

STOP THE PRESSES, WHILE I WEIGH IN HERE!!!! LOL

I've liked Rodgers so far... much better than I ever expected from him. Still don't think they'll ever win a championship with him, but he's been okay.

Trouble is, this system calls for more than okay... it is completely QB dependent.

I've moved my expectations all the way up to, "we'll see".

How's that for optimism

Tony Romo is in his 3rd year as a starter. Come back to this thread in 3 years and we'll see who the better QB is. If they hadn't paid him early there's a possibility he'd seek employement elsewhere and then what would we be left with? His rookie contract takes him all the way to UFA...

Rodgers has been good this year. Look at the other side of the ball. Once again, every time we tied it up or went ahead, the defense gave up the lead. It's happened all year. Heads should roll (e.g. I'm calling for Sanders to lose his job).

This game is no way Rodgers fault. He played a Brett Favre type game here the different the D didn't bring there support to the equation. Twice in the 4th quarter Rodgers brought the Pack back from a deficit.

I should get some sort of back slap for not skewering the guy like I usually do

Where's the love???

[wist43]

Hell, I even voted in the majority!!!!

Oh. My. God. If Wist says we'll see, we're going to the SB next year!! Rodgers for Pro Bowl!!!!! (but only if certain coaches are "allowed" to retire.)

i like AR but with that said i thought he played poorly today. missed wide-open receivers, can't throw a slat to save his life, panics when not under pressure and threw another ugly interception. he made some plays though and that's encouraging. with his erratic play, mm's play calling, and offensive penalties, the offense doesn't stay on the field long enough to do much good. instead of grinding out yards or trying to put drives together they depend on big plays. today the offense only had 52 plays to their 74, only 26 minutes of possession, and were one of ten on third-down. the D sucks but the O sucks more.
