Rodgers is looking infinitely better

Re: Rodgers is looking infinitely better

I don't like posters who end sentences with prepositions.

Someone once told me that when the first English grammars were recorded in writing, the early English grammarians tried to force the English language into a Latin grammar model. As a Germanic language, however, English refuses to fit neatly into the grammar rules for Latin and its related languages. But, those first English grammarians still tried. And, since Latin could not have sentences that ended with prepositions, neither could English. Students have since been tortured for years with the irrelevant grammar rule "do not end sentences with prepositions."

He probably didn't know what he was talking about.

Fooish consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds.

Playing gotcha...or even commenting on the grammar issue is just so worthless.

I don't know man, that was an interesting fun fact that I will make a note of (ha).

The koran speaks against poor grammar as well. Ty will proceed with the fatwah.

A-rod may never have the stats of Favre but is on track to win more super bowls than #4.

I dunno...Favre's longevity/consistency speaks for itself, yet I suspect ARod will have a better passer rating THIS year than ANY year Brett has had...maybe not long term, but damn....ARod looks the part. He looked like a mix of Manning and Steve Young (footwork, longballs, accuracy, rushing) tonite. His preseason stats look like something out of playing Madden 10 on Rookie. I'm impressed.

To be fair, they're different types of players. Rodgers isn't the gun slinger but he has shown this preseason that he is looking like a much more complete player than last. His pocket presence, which was my biggest criticism was his skittish play in the pocket, is much better.

That said, I don't think Favre ever had this offensive level of talent around him, either. No need to compare as Favre is one of the best ever, and Rodgers looks to be one of the better QBs this year.

[RashanGary]

Just comparing Rodgers to Favre. . . If Rodgers ever had the #1 defense and #1 ST's with the offense from 1996, I have no doubt we'd win the SB.


I have a lot of excitement for this Packer team. I see this group marching on to a championship this year, with chances for many more.

[RashanGary]

And snake has some points. I think Rodgers could break every one of Favre's single season records this year. The way Rodgers is throwing the ball is better than I ever remember a Packer QB throw. He's calmer under pressure. He's harder working. He's more humble and coachable. He's more likable.

I think he is a truly great QB. He'll need longevity to make the HOF, but right now, I think he's better than any QB I've watched in Green Bay.

Pointless speculation.

Don't jinx the team.

To be fair, this preseason, the OL has done a much better job protecting the QB. While you're entitled to your opinion, I don't think Rodger's game has changed much, if at all, this off-season. Where you saw "skittishness" I saw a guy avoiding rushers who were often in his face much quicker than they should have been last season. I see a QB displaying his inherent talent as the team around him solidifies and gains experience while you seem to see a QB benefiting from skill at other positions. If that's all it took, there would be a lot fewer teams looking for a franchise QB to "complete the puzzle."

To say this offensive team is any more talented than the 1996 iteration seems a little hyperbolic however.

I would have to say A-rod is looking the part so far this preseason. Someone else pointed out how sweet his deep balls are and I would agree. Man, those things just softly layed down in the recievers hands.
I thought he kind of had happy feet in the pocket a few different plays, but on a couple where he looked like he was gonna take off, he stopped himself and found an open WR.
The record breaking and all? He will have to make it thru an entire season again and I wouldn't doubt he misses 1 or more games with some injuries. Most do.
