If Rodgers wants to become Steve Young, he's going to need to work on throwing left-handed.</delurk> -
I was about to read that article then I saw it was written by Ryan Cook, that kid has NO IDEA what he is talking about.
If you want a laugh look at these two articles he wrote last week...

Okay, so this guy's idea of a FA to sign is "some player who just got cut that I've heard of before"... and the draft analysis? Wow... just wow.Originally posted by Brandon494I was about to read that article then I saw it was written by Ryan Cook, that kid has NO IDEA what he is talking about.

Young is a good comparison, just the way they play and the cerebral type.
Odds are slim to none that Rodgers will EVER be as good as Joe Montana, but I honestly think he's a bit of a poor mans Montana. Same size. Montana rushed for about 150-300 yards in his better rushing seasons. Rodgers runs that same amount. Both really good athletes. Montanta threw very few INT's Rodgers throws very few INT's. Neither are gun slingers, both more cerebral.
Young ran a lot. I don't know if I picture Rodgers running that much. I hope he keeps getting better and if we're really lucky we'll win a championship or two with him, but I think his style is sort of modeled after Montana. He plays that kind of game.Formerly known as JustinHarrell.Comment

The urinal sentinal has been tossing around the baseless, "Rodgers cares too much about stats" line and they were using the "oh, but he didn't have a winning season in his first year so he's not a winner" thing. . . .
But, there is a certain steadiness about Rodgers that I like. I kind of envision him being a cold blooded winner.Formerly known as JustinHarrell.Comment

That is the rumor folks (even outside of JSO) have been mongering for explaining the low number of INTs. I think the only fact in support of it is Rodgers saying he is not going to try to force a throw that isn't open and take the INT chance. Its an interesting argument, where to draw the line and a lot depends on field position and game situation. But it probably doesn't revolve around "caring too much about stats".Originally posted by JustinHarrellBud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.Comment

Weren't people criticizing Rodgers for not taking dumpoffs early in the year when he was taking sacks? He was waiting to try to make a big play down the field. Hardly risk averse. With some people, Rodgers will never win. Then again, most of Packers nation (and much of the national media) is now firmly on his side."There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great. But quite frankly, most of the people that are commenting on it don't know anything about what they are talking about."--Ted ThompsonComment

you mean where he has a shortened career but is really good for 5 years?
I'll pass. AR is going to be good for a decade or more, and hopefully get us to multiple SB's.Comment

I've criticized Rodgers, but I don't jump around from criticism to criticism as my last criticism becomes null and void. JS makes sure that every Rodgers piece comes with an underlying sentiment that he's not good enough. Each time, the reasons are different, based on what they can possibly complain about at the momen. it's gotten to the point, the only "he's not good enough" sentiment left is that he cares to much about his stats.Originally posted by HarveyWallbangers
Come on, guys. Drop it. His goal this year was to be more consistent. He used the stats to show he got close to his goal. Sheesh. . . The guy is getting criticised for having and setting goals. The things they write are just bizarre sometimes. Maybe they're just lazy and never actually listened to the interview, so had no clue of the context. That's possible. Either way, they're junk.Formerly known as JustinHarrell.Comment

Not sure what you're saying here. Harv's point was and is valid. Ppl, including you, spent a lot of time and energy bashing Rodgers early in the season, instead of looking at the real problem, which was the OL.Originally posted by JustinHarrell
Now you want them to just "drop it"? Why should they?
Rodgers took a lot of unfair criticism. He wasn't the problem this year, notiwithstanding the public comments. Pointing that out ought to be fair game. Those opinions were woefully inaccurate.Comment

I think the underlying sentiment is that he hasn't WON anything yet. And conveniently, that standard can change. Last year it was 4th quarter games in which he was down. This year its playoff games.
They are pretty standard arguments. It may not be the best measure of quarterback's play, but its standard stuff for team coverage.Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.Comment
