Aaron Rodgers Death Spiral of Declining Poor Performances

[SkinBasket]

That whole carried the team excuse never cut it with Favre, why in the hell should it with Rodgers?.

That's because he never won the way Rodgers did, while playing opposite this inept of a defense.

Take 1/3 O line sloppiness, 1/3 dropsies, 1/3 QB nervous, not set and off target

mix

Pretty good explanation.

true enough

That whole carried the team excuse never cut it with Favre, why in the hell should it with Rodgers? I'm not bashing Rodgers, but it seems he is regressing. I actually wouldn't mind if the Packers didn't get home field throughout. Rodgers is a much better QB in a dome or warm climates.

It carried it with Favre for a lot of years, but eventually the minuses outweighed the pluses to that approach. If Rodgers start chucking the ball to the opposition or fumbling while sitting in the pocket too long "trying to make a play", then come back and we can talk.

He basically carried them sunday as well, he just wasn't good enough to do it alone! Rodgers pinpoint accuracy is what separates him from many others. Hitting rec. in the perfect spot to get additional yardage. He has been a tick off for a few weeks and it showed big time sunday. Without Rodgers playing lights out football this team is very beatable. The difference between Rodgers and Vick is the accuracy. Vick will miss open rec. to kill drives and ultimately lose games. We don't want Vick, We want Rodgers back!

It doesn't help when Rodgers' passes hit our receivers in the hands and they drop them.

Certainly didn't help but there were often problems on both ends of the connection.

"Problems" receivers on other teams overcome every week playing with lesser QBs. Either ol' Edgar isn't getting these guys ready or they've become complacent believing all they got to do is stick their hands in front of their face and the ball will appear as if by magic. Everyone's bemoaning Rodger's lack of accuracy and forgetting what lack of accuracy actually means typically. He's missing by inches, sometimes a foot. Misses for fans of other teams is often times feet or yards.

Really? Accuracy? That's all that separates Vick and Rodgers?

[gbgary]

Really? Accuracy? That's all that separates Vick and Rodgers?

that and his football iq, judgement, better arm, and unselfish attitude, just to name a few.

I'd add regular IQ, not just football IQ.

Not sure about the better arm, Vick has a cannon.

Is this pacopete reincarnated?

WTF is a pacopete? I still believe Rodgers is waaay more talented than Favre, I just hate to see people use the carry the team excuse with him. yet when Favre did it, and he did, people called bullshit. Truth is, both of them have done more "carrying" than they should have to.

If memory serves, Pacopete was a particularly vehement Ted-basher and Favre supporter. Again, relying on my somewhat spotty and faulty memory (I was merely lurking when he was about), Pete was unreasonable, vitriolic and not open to points of view different from his own. He may simply have been a troll, I just didn't pay that much attention to his posts, frankly.

That being said, I disagree with your opinion that Rodgers is more talented than Favre. I think Favre had more talent. I think Rodgers has done a better job MAXIMIZING his talent and is, therefore, a better QUARTERBACK. IMO.

Favre had more talent? What did Favre do that is better than Rodgers? Favre might have had a stronger arm but Rodgers arm is excellent, AR reads defenses great, throws while rolling out of the pocket better than anybody in football and can get yards with his legs better than Favre ever did.

We should probably trade Rodgers for Orlovsky. That guy beat the 3rd ranked Defense last night with a clutch TD. Rodgers can't even beat the Chiefs, PFFFT!
