OFFICIAL AARON THE LIVING LEGEND THREAD

[Patler]

It's shocking to me how his mechanics have declined. It used to be what set him apart from the merely good quarterbacks. Is McCarthy not stressing mechanics as he once did, or is Rodgers uncoachable?

Do to the limitations on players' contact with coaches during the off-season, MM's QB school has been diluted to being nothing special. MM has complained numerous times that there is no longer time allowed in the off-season to work on QB mechanics. While this seems most applicable to young QBs, it also applies to vets who get in bad habits.

There are a few possible reasons to Rodgers decline imo. 1. he has become "too big for his britches". 2. Stubby has let him get that way. 3. He never was as good as perceived. Although I don't really buy that one. We all agree his mechanics have declined, so I didn't mention that as it's obvious. The real problem is how to fix said mechanics. Stubby obviously isn't going to man up and do it.

It has everything to do with an offense that is constructed on "The Play Begins After 3 Seconds of Pass Blocking". That and bad pass blocking last year.

When they actually ran routes to get someone open, his mechanics look fine and in rhythm.

[Freak Out]

Rodgers is never going to make it 552 if he doesn't get his shit together.

Strictly for the purposes of 552, stinking for a while then having a possible resurgence might be the best plan.

With a little luck and backward compatibility with the in cranium mobile web browsers we will all have Apple install by 2020, this thread will live to 552 Pages like Brett's.

First words by Aaron to Brett upon meeting in Green Bay?

“Good morning, grandpa!”

haha..and I was just being silly. I have not been around here lately so certainly curious about people's perspectives on AR at this point. Clearly I have made it clear that I respect your's and a few other poster's take on things. What is the most commonly held position on AR's skills, etc? Well known that I've had a man crush on Favre for a few decades. And I assumed all the Favre bashers say that AR has passed him by in packer's lore. I'm too lazy to read through all the posts so would just totally appreciate a synopsis from yourself or other vet posters like freakout harvey patler woodbuck and others.

as far as things other than their skills and performances, I hate to toot my own horn but off the break, immediately i realized AR had jerk tendencies. my friends present with so much angst when they have to admit i was right nowadays. at the end of the day, we dont REALLY know these people. It was just clear to me that Lord is some one id MUCH rather have a beer with. I know this has nothing to do with the game. just curious about other's perspectives

[King Friday]

As of now, it is looking like Favre may just wind up with more Super Bowl appearances and just as many Super Bowl wins as Rodgers.

Aaron Rodgers is not playing very good football right now, with the latest evidence being his fumble deep in Cowboys’ territory when Green Bay needed a score. Even before that, Rodgers too often looked confused and unable to find open receivers to his liking despite having good pass protection. And people, especially those in Wisconsin, are going to be freaking out all week about it. I get it. But Rodgers is still an excellent football player, and he will be again in short order. This actually could be good for Rodgers and coach Mike McCarthy, as long as they don’t panic. This is a situation where Rodgers, not usually one to ask for help, needs to listen to his coach, and vice versa. They need to come together and fix this offense. Regardless of what McCarthy thinks, it’s not working for Rodgers or the team. The Packers need to find a way to get their offensive groove back, and they need to do that together.

I think I've heard that one before. Until it gets fixed, I am coming around to the idea that things have grown stale with the Packers. Maybe it's not Rodgers but the relationship. Eleven years is a long time to be the head coach of a team.

Some where in here we have a thread about an article that reviewed long term coaches. They used a cutoff of 7 or 8 years, I think. Something like that. Generally, coaches who stayed beyond that were not as successful in the second part of their careers as they were in the first. As I recall, the difference was significant.

This is my concern right now. The best evidence I have against it is Bill Cowher.

How do head coach searches work in the NFL? Does the team post a job ad somewhere? Or is it more of an internal process?
