Is Aaron Rodgers more of the problem than we might think?

I actually turn off all TVs in the house if I see it being replayed according to the on screen TV guide. I don't want any accidental exposure.

What a world, what a world!

Wrong Seattle game.

You're talking about the game where the D forced something like 5 turnovers, McCarthy was even more conservative than Barry Alvarez and the usually stoic J-Nel committed a monstrous deed that demeaned stoicism - Nelson, for the first and only time in his football career, chewed out a teammate during a game?

Some incompetent polar bear kept Bostick on roster that season, I believe.

Exactly. According to Justin, Rodgers would never allow McCarthy to call all those runs into 10 man boxes.

I mean never allow. Didn't happen. You are confused if you think it did. Rodgers is a monster and won't listen.

In the name of looking at things with a clear and open mind, I saw a stat that MVS had the second highest percentage of targets with over a step of separation and Davante had the 4th.

I do think that has a some to do with each player respectively, but it also has a lot to do with Aaron Rodgers knowing where the open guy is and getting the ball there. Because it’s two players in the top 4 from one team, I’m gonna credit Rodgers with this more than the receivers. A part of that is being in the right play for the defensive call. .

Rodgers is a great player and has strengths to his game. Favre was a great player and had strengths to his game. But it doesn’t mean there aren’t trouble spots and I do like to keep my mind open to seeing them.

On top of that, I might be wrong about Rodgers stubbornness and difficulty to coach. But I might also be right.

And I agree that he can be stubborn. Way too often he's looking deep and waiting when a check down would do. But what is required is a situation specific choice. Take a half to pick your spots perhaps.

You need to score in a hurry or break a defense that is jamming everything up close? Let Rodgers be Rodgers.

Need a 10 play, 85 yard drive for a score to help a) the team, b) the defense, c)message board sanity? Nothing wrong with a 7 yard a play drive. Run it, throw to the backside off the stretch run, check down. All good baby.

I just don't think you can be a high functioning offense with just one side of the equation.

I just wish Rodgers would be more relatable to the average fan. I mean take a dick pic or something like that, sheesh.

He could be more relatable if he'd stop getting every answer correct in the 'Potent Potables' category on Jeopardy for chrissakes.

MMQB did some digging. Sounds like they’re going to go with Lafleurs double call system where Rodgers will run one or the other as a starting point. It’s a system that allows for faster pace and less communication at the LOS. Lindsey will make the line calls.

In the event that something is shown where the two plays don’t work, Rodgers can adjust further.

It sounds like Lafleur wants to keep his fast paced system moving when possible. Now all we can do is see how it plays out.

The full audible system was hard for receivers and tight ends to be on the same page with Rodgers. Now that they’re doing both systems, I wonder how hard that is going to be for everyone to work with. It sounds like a challenging offense to play in.

They will have to simplify the audible system because it shouldn't have to be used often, and there won't be a lot of time to dedicate to it in practice.

As I understand it, QBs and Coaches use a huge screen video with the QBs practicing in real time to make those decisions that they should see on the field during upcoming games. I'm sure that any "bugs" will get worked out and any changes will get drilled into rest of the offense at team/position meetings. Let's not forget that the Packers are professionals and will have their collective s--t in one sock.
