This is what I think of this thread:

I know we have to give up a lot but Ponder is the shit! Maybe we can sign Vick to back him up.

Fuck Vick. I say sign Cutler!

For a while I was really pissed at AR and MM for continually doing the opposite of what works. Like Nutz said, no matter how many times it works, AR has gone deep rather than go with the dump off throws. I used to think AR needs to throw more into tight places but the more I look at it, LBs are dropping into slant lanes and corners are jumping short routes. To throw quick would be asking for interception after interception. The way Masthay is punting, I just don't see that helping.

MM has committed to the run game. It didn't pay off right away, but it might now. If teams keep dropping LBs the way they have, and we can run the ball a little, it's going to be very hard to stop us.

I still think the dump offs are there to the sideline when they play man (corners with backs turned and LB's defending the short middle) and over the middle when they play zone (MLB vacating the middle of the field. It's worked when we've done it. Don't know why we haven't done it more.

Everything said, MM seems to be pulling it together. His commitment to the run game is starting to pay off. Running the ball is far better than dump offs.

Calling AR selfish. I just don't agree with that at all. Big passing numbers come out of the shotgun. AR is under center so much more this year. That's to his detriment and advantage to the run game. A risk, no doubt, with the way AR has shredded the league over the last few years, but a risk that brings balance and ultimately a team that can attack even the most pass oriented defenses. Come playoff time, against the best defenses, you can't get away with being unbalanced. Great defenses are hard enough to beat. If they can just put all their resources to stopping the pass, it becomes nearly impossible. AR has been the opposite of selfish. He's put his body and numbers at risk this year, tot he benefit of the team, not his numbers.

Overall, I don't think Nutz is crazy, just a little bent on stirring the AR love pot. AR is almost untouchable with the fans. I think he's getting at that, that AR is not without fault. I just think he went a little far. Rather than having an open mind, I think Nutz went too far left to compensate for how far right the fan base is. Ultimately, it's not a very effective way of getting a point across, but I see the point none the less.

When you are not drinking, and fully medicated you understand me. I don't know what kind of person that makes you, but you are good people in my book.

You are the smartest Mexican on this board.

I do what I can to help. These red necks get so fired up about their Packers, it is highly amusing!

There's a term for this.

Goblin...no
Ogre....no that doesn't sound right either.

Help me out here people.

Re-writing the original post in another perspective:

ridiculous, Favre was the king of screen passes and dump offs that replaced the running game, I know this because Madden would say it over and over again.

Funny how I never brought Favre's name up in this thread. I think you all need to get over ole number 4. He is retired now, and unfortunately he is never coming back. You are all stuck with Rodgers, that is if the Packers even resign him.

It's not the critique of Rodgers that riles people up, but the inconsequential, baiting, intellectually bereft nature of it.

and ....... you'd never resort to such.

'witch' ? ..... NO! ....

Nutz is over the top too macho for that. Nutz is too respected; and I suggest simply pissed at Packer fans with the blinders on.

I think people are still sad there wasn't a corresponding 'Favre Day' as 04/04/2004

Favre retired that day, right!?
