On a related note, check out the picture below. Note that the Packer fans are sitting and the Bears fans are standing. The Packer fans must think they are at quiet, sedate, Lambeau Field.

Aaron Rodgers looks like Johnny Manziel. Yuck. He broken. We need a 3 second clock in camp. Blow that play dead if it hit the 3 second mark.

When the Packers are on offense don't we want the fans to be quiet so the players can communicate?

Unfortunately this year's QB draft class isn't all that great. We are stuck with AR for at least one more season. If we suck even more we have a chance to finally ditch him and get a younger stud in the 2020 draft.

teams who loved the long ball

i'd say this is probably accurate for the last 3+ years.

holding the ball too long?

we know going deep instead of moving the sticks was a problem and holding the ball too long as well.

Oh, I think he's good. The Fennell tweets are a concern though, and suggest he has a lot of room for improvement. I wonder if he was paying more attention to the rush or just not going through his reads this year. Regardless, if he gets his issues fixed, I'm confident he can get back to MVP caliber.

45 of the 53 sacks allowed by #Packers this season were OVER 2.5 seconds

and
they led the NFL in 3rd down sacks (28). Actually have led the NFL in this 3 of the last 4 years

Wade Phillips broke Aaron Rodgers. I say this only somewhat in jest.

I always mentioned in comments about how the Packers just never looked the same after the debacle and embarrassment that occurred in 2015 against a Broncos led Denver team.
I finally decided to just look up record wise how different the times were.

From 2012 to the Denver game, the Packers played 54 games, earning a record throughout that time of 37-16-1.

In 2015, we started the season 6-0...

Our 7th game we faced off against Wade Phillips defense that night. It was one of the ugliest games I didn’t see happening.
Since that game, we played 58 games and have a record of 27-30-1.

Just found that interesting and wanted to share.

it's going to take a different mindset by him, and a coach with a stronger personality than his, but it's possible. he doesn't really have to be mvp caliber...just more efficient. there were a lot of wasted plays this season as these stats prove. by doing so it takes pressure off the defense. it would be more fun for the others on the O too. get the ball out, move the chains, eat up the clock, score points, win games. it's a win/win.

Tex, this is not a challenge to your statement. It's purely a curiosity question with no sarcasm behind it at all. Do you think Aaron has any flaws in his game, or areas that that he could improve upon? If so, what are those things? If not, I'm guessing you are not saying he's perfect, but that you are willing to overlook any possible negative thing because of all the good things he does?

So Rodgers is perfect and should just keep playing as he has been of late?

Going deep alone doesn't explain as much as you think. 1 less attempt per game drops him off that list.

Nobody's perfect. Among NFL QBs, though, there's never been anybody closer to it - not Brady and Brees, not anybody named Manning, not even Favre or Starr. You want my idea of negatives about him? Not the usual crap detractors come up with ...... I like the idea that he uses his mobility (a necessity with the Packers O line) and takes whatever number of seconds it takes to find open receivers. I like the fact that he virtually never "puts it up for grabs" unless there's a clear defensive penalty/free play. I even like the way he tends to avoid quick short passes - which to me, are a recipe for turnovers. I also like the fact that he can and does take off on runs and does so with excellent judgment. I even like the fact that he seems to have an ego as big as Texas and changes plays as he sees fit. As for his alleged decrease in accuracy, if there's any, it sure ain't much. The lower completion percentage can be attributed to throwaways due to decreased mobility when his injury was more of a problem and young receivers failing to come back to the QB in scramble situations. The two picks - both on defelctions - all season says to me he is still the most accurate QB in the game.

I'm really thinking hard if there is anything I don't like hahahahaha. Sometimes it seems like Mr. Rodgers gets a little bit stubborn and perfectionistic when it comes to not throwing to a receiver who isn't exactly on the mark where he's supposed to be. It also seems like sometimes - maybe a lot of times, Rodgers de-emphasizes the young guys. We saw that with Janis and maybe a couple of others. He seems to be doing better now with MVS and St. Brown, though - or maybe they are doing better.
