Another possible reason for Arod's struggles this year

[mraynrand]

Since I am dedicated to looking forward, does anyone know how Rodger's funny little calf is progressing?

[MadtownPacker]

Not really. That occurred before he was drafted...

Maybe they took the real ARod and the one they replaced him with played at an out of this world MVP level. Then they took him back when they saw he might breed with the inferior Earth female.

Lol! I think you may be onto something there Mad! Seems like a plausible explanation to me.

[woodbuck27]

agree; and you can add some if his mannerisms at press conferences to support your point as well

Aaron Rodgers is the leader of the team.

He needs to demonstrate a little more moxy on the field. That attitude transfers to the whole team.

It's easy to be a good leader when things are going good. But when things get tough is when true leaders stand out. Rodgers has shown he can do the easy part.

Finally someone returns to the original absurd point for this thread.
I am impressed it made it into reality land for a bit.

I think there has been a tremendous gnashing of teeth this off season. However I will be tremendously surprised if what we have seen last year is the new normal. I doubt Nelson and Cobb will both be injured this year. We likely have a stretch the center TE. We have okay OL depth that will likely be added to.
If we don't have a top 10 O my jaw will hit the floor.

That's the spirit! Never say die! Rodgers has never demonstrated that he can win when the chips are down! To the last I grapple with thee! LOL.

Are you suggesting Rodgers wasn't a leader this past season?

[pbmax]

Give RutNStrut a break. When the team you root for is 83-44 under a QB, Head Coach and General Manager you despise, there is little blame to apportion so you have to spread it around.

Not to mention actual bad players on the team.

[mraynrand]

Remember the good ol days when everything could be blamed on Jarrett Bush? Good times.

[George Cumby]

Don't forget Eric Walden.

No, he wasn't a great leader. I never said he wasn't a great QB, although last year he was mediocre. There are many players in the NFL that are excellent players, but poor leaders. Cam Newton comes to mind right away as does Rodgers, although imo Rodgers is a better leader than Cam,

[Pugger]

I don't think Rodgers is as poor a leader as you seem to believe. He may not be a vocal leader like some others but there is more to being a leader than a rah-rah type guy.

You aren't suggesting that fans cannot get a good read on player dynamics from just watching television, are you?
