Is Aaron Rodgers even good anymore?

[mraynrand]

Winning can be like magic, it can make things disappear.

Magic can also cut things in half.

I’ve listened to every Rodgers interview and press conference of the offseason and TC. Early on he seemed cocky and arrogant and selfish. I must say, I give him a break. It was a lot of change, fast, and he was bombarded with questions suggesting he might be the problem. Honestly, he didn’t answer perfectly early on but he’s really impressed me lately. His obsession with the offense is inspiring and gives me confidence. His passion for the scheme and confidence are contagious. He’s done a complete 180 and I’m just gonna own my mistake in being too hard on him early in the transition. He’s doing awesome in every way I know how to measure right now.

Also, in my time as a Packer fan, I’ve never seen a more maniacal practice player. He’s intense. You can tell LaFleur loves him.

Silverstein was the first to throw a Dart at MattyFloor writing it was a mistake to sit Rodgers game 1

I threw that dart awhile ago. I don't think you get ready for the bears by watching Kizer play.

But what do I know. Last year fat mike rested Bulaga all preseason and then trotted him out to iso on Mack...that worked out right...right??

And yes, I know Bulaga was "hurt" last preseason.

Possible Rodgers back has been acting up too. Just a guess but its an issue now.

I would rather have him healthy than fully practiced and on the Inactive list.

Rodger's back is just the sign of an aging man. When you get past you mid twenties, you realize that you don't completely recover the day after a strenuous workout - not enough to repeat it day after day. When you reach 30, your soreness lasts a day longer than it did 5 years ago. When you reach 40, you can't recall what you did that would make you sore. After a strenuous workout, you realize that a day off isn't really sufficient to recover. When you reach 50, your achilles goes out when you make a simple quick move tossing the football around in the back yard. When you reach 60, it takes half the day just to get your body loose enough to move. When you reach 70, those flowers next to the headstone smell nice - to the person who put them there.

Maybe you just need to do more sit-ups, about 5000 a day or so should do it.

At age 72 and playing 2 or 3 sets of tennis 4 or 5 days a week, I beg to differ hahahahaha.

Possible. Rodgers ain't 42 though, he is 35. At 35 I was still close to my peak as I stayed in shape. He has 30 million reasons to be in peak physical shape.

Maybe its a legit injury. Maybe the new boss is same as the old boss. All hail the king!!

Did you play football for your entire life into your thirties? Talking about pro players here.

[pbmax]

Marvel at the ability of weekend athletes to compare themselves to professionals. Its always astonishing.

A pro player with a bad wheel. Easy to develop another injury if you are slightly compensating for the first.

Of course, this could all be a smokescreen to keep Rodgers out of the preseason altogether.

Maybe not weekend athletes, but. I have respect for any blue collar worker that does physical work and works hard day after day, year after year. Not nearly as much respect for any pro athlete making millions that sits out for every little bump and bruise. That more than anything is why I liked Favre so much.

Glad to hear Tex. I’m 38, take good care of my body. Gives me hope of a long, energetic life!

Part of why I still think Graham has it. At 33 i could do everything so i know he’s got more!
