Re: Rodgers Is Carrying This Team
Winning is accomplished by a team. Wins and losses do not fall squarely on the shoulders of the QB. When your QB leads a drive late in the game to give you a lead with 2 minutes to go, he's done his job. If your team loses because your goddamn ST and defense can't do what's demanded of them, that's not the QB's fault. If your defense gives up a tying score heading into overtime, and then can't stop anyone IN overtime, that's not the QB's fault. That was the story for many years for Carson Palmer too - no defense in Cincy. That's not Palmer's fault.
Many of Brett's winning seasons came along with having a top 10 defense - there were a couple years we had the #1 defense in the entire NFL. Look at the Jets defense this year - top 10 or damn close (were 10th before last weekend, haven't looked at what they are after). And Brett has 8 wins to show for it. A QB's success in the win column depends greatly on the other 44 guys who dress up on gameday.
This year's 5-7 record has little to do with Aaron Rodgers specifically. It has much more to do with the Green Bay Packers in general. Stop putting the fortunes of a team with 53 members on the shoulders of just one of them. This is getting rediculous. And I'm not trying to single you out here, as there are several posters here that feel the same way as you do. The QB is not solely responsible for a teams record. Most of us understand that.
By the way, that last game against Carolina was your example of Rodgers putting the team on his shoulders and leading them to victory. If you seriously place any blame on Rodgers for that loss, even considering that he led the Packers to scores on EVERY POSSESSION of the second half except for the last one that ended in a desperation heave downfield that was picked off, then there's no reasoning with you. You'll never be satisfied.
Christ, I wish the players on defense and teams were playing with the same fire Rodgers and his offense were playing with on Sunday.

First off I like Arod, but to compare the two is asinine. Sure, Carson Palmer is a first ballot HOF then right? Crazy good numbers, not so much for wins. How many winning seasons has he had with his sick QB rating........................1. I'm not one to compare those two, but there is one thing Brett has done consistently.................WIN.
Shut the hell up and realize we are 5-7. Get back to us when you do (and yea, those offensive pts. are skewed bigtime by D TD's.) I like ARod, but till he brings us a winner..I'm off that parade you just launched as a "winner" in the QB debacle. Pathetic thread indeed. Who cares about stats when we lose. Go hit up Stephon Marbury's blog or something. Jeez....
