What is wrong with Aaron?

[AtlPackFan]

He's lost his security blanket, doesn't seem to have confidence in the OL, isn't on the same page as M3 with the playcalling and clearly, he isn't having fun.

Maybe all the MVP talk and SB talk prior to the season has him under pressure and he is cracking as a result. But all that saw him last season know he's tough and is capable a far bigger things. Great thread, BTW.

Thanks Tarlam. I don't post often - much less start threads - but ARs performance has been bothering me the last couple of weeks and I couldn't put my finger on what the problem was. I was hoping everyone here would have input so the feedback by all is greatly appreciated.

Tarlam nails it, this sums it up.

Whats wrong w/ AAron?


How bout no commitment to the run and spotty protection. No rushing = defense teeing off on the QB. It really puts the O-line on their heels to be pass protecting an entire game when the D knows you're not going to try and run the ball.

This makes everything less effective, most importantly the play action passing which is a huge part of this offense.

Commit to the damn run. at least it kills some clock and the defense isn't out there for so many minutes every damn game.

Total Plays 78 to 59

Guess which number we are? This is what happens when you can't run the ball. you wear the D down and then guys start getting hurt. More time = more risk.

Miami had the ball for almost 10 more minutes in a game that was decided by and OT FG.

Aaron Rodgers, 1546yds 10 TD 7 INT

These aren't bad numbers but he set the bar very high. With the number of injuries on this team I am actually surprised he's done this well.

JK, I agree...not bad numbers. But a number of his passes seem to be a bit off...too short, too long, too wide, too far behind the receiver. I think that is the thing that has been bothering me more than anything.

And wasn't 7 his total number of interceptions for all of last year? I am probably wrong on that...again, not a stat guy and I don't have last years numbers in front of me.

At any rate, this Sunday night would be a REALLY good time for the real Aaron Rodgers to show up. Of course, good play calling, good blocking, some semblance of a running game and no drops would really help too.

who says we can't run the ball? We are actully decent at it, we just don't do it. Just like I am very capable of having sex with hot chics....I just don't get my number called often enough.

Send some pictures! I heard it works wonders....

Here's one of the sacks:

Korey Hall doesn't do much to Wake, but Rodgers misses Kuhn short there.

Also, on the sack by Wake in OT, Bulaga actually has Wake nearly blocked to the ground and AR pretty much runs right into it. You can see it on the highlights on NFL.com.

I don't even care if the run isn't getting much in the yards department. I want them to continue to use it. They need to keep the defense somewhat honest and set up play action. Lets get a little more balance to the offense and we'll see a more effective offense and defense.

we're just F#$cked on special teams.

That is actually what I meant. (Edit: the running part, not the hot chicks part).

What games I have seen it appears the running game is an after thought rather than a part of our game plan. Again, just from what I have seen.

There was a shot of him on the sideline yesterday and he put his head down and put a towel over his head. Definitely did not look like he was having any fun.

[pbmax]

On half of his throws, I thought he was still concussed.

The neighbor and I were saying the same. He looked drunk at times.

Stop the press!

I know what hit Aaron Rodgers; this is karma for befriending Chicago Bears pouty QB Jay Cutler. Rodgers has been cutlerized. :P

[Brandon494]

No running game.

Teams are not respecting our running game at all and they're focusing more on stoping the pass game. Simple as that.
