Is a-rod coasting now that he got his huge contract?

[red]

it needs to be brought up. if it was any other player that is in this kind of slump after signing a huge deal we would be ragging on him

well a-rod just became the highest paid player in nfl history this offseason, really didn't play in pre season and is now having one of his worst seasons (by his standards)

our offense is not winning us games at this point and it starts with a-rod and M3's and his shitty play calling

lol

i don't care what his QB rating is. he's way off on a lot of his passes this year and looks to be playing his worst since he took over for favre

he also fumbled twice today

[Carolina_Packer]

He didn't have a ton of "clean plays" as A-Rod and MM like to say. That offensive line was very challenged today, and A-Rod was sacked, pressured or hurried quite a bit. If the D can keep this kind of play going, then perhaps we are down to just fixing the O-line issues. A couple of times I saw his inaccuracies due to not having good footwork. He rolled out and had time to set his feet but hurried his throw (overthrow to Finley comes to mind). I disagree that he's coasting, unless you are saying it tongue in cheek and I'm not picking up your sarcasm. Take away two of the top receiving weapons and not really have Finley step up (save for last drive) and regularly get open. They won on the road and that's big.

O line give him some pass blocking and I will let you know.

All the word leaking out of Lambeau is that he has not changed.

Keep him feeling the love, Red. You don't want Jared Allen to take him to dinner.

Lol are we this spoiled as Packer fans? I guess having a hall of fame under center 20+ years and counting will do that to you.

i agree brandon, it has been hella nice, another thing to think about is the quality of defenses we've seen in the first 5 games. SF, Cin, and Bal is a pretty nasty bunch. one more thing i just thought of is maybe the offense is learning how to play with a running game. lacy sure is fun to watch...

[pbmax]

Last couple of weeks everyone was talking about how McCarthy and Rodgers need to learn to game plan and audible with a better than average running game. And I think to a point, say, shotgun with one back to give Rodgers time to scan the field away from a pass rush, is one example where they could alter their approach.

But the other adjustment they need to make is the fact that their tackles can not be trusted to pass block for more than the traditional 3 seconds. So the pass game protection needs to be addressed too.

Rodgers is frustrated and you can see it. No way is the guy coasting...he is WAY to competitive for that. Red we'll let this one slide due to the injury....pain meds and booze is a bad combo.

[red]

i really wasn't saying he's coasting, i was asking

because he is not playing like he usually does, and if he was anyone but our most beloved player people would be asking questions

i would say flacco isn't playing as well after he got his big contract either. and i would have said the same for romo before last weeks game

[Airin' Rodgers]

Rodgers is "coasting" to the pace of a 5,260 yard, 32 TD season

Rodgers is "coasting" to the pace of a 5,260 yard, 32 TD season

yes yes, numbers are fun to play with

over the last 3 games he's had 3 td's 3 int's and is averaging 278 yards per game and a 60 % completion percentage

so if he continues on his current pace he'll end up with 4705 yards, 21 td's (career low) and 15 int's (career high) and a career low by far for completion %

but his QB rating will probably still be pretty high, so we'll all be happy

we're also living in a day and age where 5200 yards passing might not be all that great. wecould have multiple guys going over 6000 this season. manning is on pace for like 10,000 yards and 120 Td's

As long as he keeps winning games decided by 4 points or less, it's cool.
