A hungry Aaron Rodgers has a conversation with JS beat writer Tyler Dunne

[MJZiggy]

He'll be fine. He has the fire, but also is smart enough not to get all wrapped up in his own hype. He had a front row seat into how it can all go wrong.

I wouldn't be surprised if he gets the majority of the load this season. Even with rookies it should be his job to lose given how strong he came on at the end of 2012.

I disagree with you from time to time, but rarely do I strongly disagree with you. I think the odds of Harris carrying the bulk of the load are slim to none. There's something I don't like about him, don't know what it is. Maybe I'm not used to seeing a guy that short carry the ball, but something just doesn't look right. He seems jittery, kind of chaotic. In my experience, RB's who are good usually look decisive.

I think you are spot on. Dajuan Harris is talented. Perhaps not 16-game durable, but talented nonetheless. I am excited to see his progress in this offense with an offseason of study time.

Please....give him a break on some more time to really know the playbook better and get into some more manageable comfort zone. DuJuan Harris has enough going against him now with his health issue (we're just learning of) and needs all the positive karma we might choose to give him.

Personally I liked the way he hit a hole in the LOS. He just needs to learn how to set up and cover his blocking assignments.

GO PACK GO !

This.

Hmmm. Everything you say is certainly true. Aaron has been fueled by his collection of "chips". His new chip is the message that the value of his play will not match the amount of his contract.

I think what I am admiring here is his ability to split hairs in the middle of the interview in a meaningful way. It seems to me that his rhetorical hair-splitting turned the spotlight away from himself and back on the other teams.

Aaron Rodgers didn't beg the Green Bay Packers for the money their paying him now. He seemed rather satisfied to be patient for his next contract. It seems to me that neither side. Aaron's or the PACKERS need make an issue of this large contract and future Green Bay Packer success.

The fact of the large contract doesn't change the water on the beans. Aaron Rodgers is simply one part of the whole towords winning the next Super Bowl. If he feels he must do more than simply play his part and do so to the very best of his ability he might very well fail. Aaron Rodgers must simply relax and center on being the best QB in the NFL.

If another Super Bowl ring comes with that. Awesome for the Green Bay Packer organization and it's fans. It's not always about the results but rather how you play the game that truly matters.

Aaron Rodgers is maturing. Aaron Rodgers is doing alot right.

GO PACK GO !

aaron rodgers sucks. He's not as good as Favre. Jennings made Rodgers who he is.

He holds the ball too long.

I hope Rodgers reads Packerrats, for now he'll have chips to last a lifetime.

Aaron Rodgers 'of course' has been tested (measured). Such is the way of the fan.

Attitude ... in terms of being positive means so much Fritz. I see some real strength coming out of Aaron Rodgers now. He 'no longer' needs to accept the cockiness label. He's paving his own highway to the NFL HOF. He's in his own drivers seat.

Too often we all need a little attitude adjustment. I believe that Aaron Rodgers is somehow changing too more positive. I certainly hope so.

GO PACKERS !

When I saw the thread title, I wondered why he didn't grab a bite to eat beforehand. Interviewing on an empty stomach is a good way to make a gaffe.

Lol. I keep thinking the same thing every time this thread bubbles up.
