Reischel - Yesterday showed why Love was drafted

[Upnorth]

Once again Rodgers couldn’t make them pay because we don’t have anybody on our roster that can beat press coverage against tougher competition other then Adams. It was simple. Bracket Adams and the other guys couldn’t win their matchups. If they can’t get a clean release Rodgers has NO CHANCE!! It’s that simple. To think Rodgers wouldn’t throw balls to wide open guys is just ridiculous.

Tonyan got gimped up. MVS, Shepherd and EQ are trash!! Mercedes Lewis is a dinosaur. Sternberger has not developed as planned. There is nothing left in the cupboard. It’s a giant failure on the part of Gute and Rodgers has been left hanging once again.

So you didn't watch the game then obviously. Or you cant identify open receivers other than Adams.
I must add this was the first game rodgers was consistently pressured.

I think they might have just drafted him because they thought he had a chance to be a HOF talent and you don’t pass up the chance to take the next Rodgers

Crazy talk. There has to be some hidden motivation involving Rodgers. ITS ALL ABOUT RODGERS!!!!

[bobblehead]

With Rodgers, there is already a domino effect in play:

-He throws better with movement than he does setting up in the pocket.
-He is less elusive, can't spin away from rushers as he did. This will get worse and worse.
-He will continue to try and move, because he is better that way.
-He will be dragged down by his legs more and more because if the above.
-His knee, calf and ankle issues will become greater problems or even recur with severity.
-The less he moves, the more he is hit the further is removed from what has made him good.
-While I wouldn't call him brittle, Rodgers is not the most durable QB.
-All the above make another significant injury more probable.
-All the above will adversely impact Rodgers' desire to continue playing.

I think in four years the Packers will need to replace Rodgers whether they will want to or not, and whether Love is the guy, or not.

I'll play devils advocat. He actually plays best when he runs in rhythm and gets rid of the ball consistently only to take the big play when teams collapse to the 15 yard box. He has been mostly smart about his mobility this season, and now in the one instance where he dove for a TD he got hit hard. I still think that is the reason he played for shit from that point on. I think as long as he accepts his mortality he can easily play to 40.

[bobblehead]

When I think of successful over the age of 38 qbs who are mobile I canthink of 1. Favre. The qbs with late success all are pocket passages with quick triggers and few sacks or pressures. Does that describe rodgers??? If he is as good as Favre at 39 I will be amazed.

Love is our first attempt to draft for future success. We may need mor than one. I'm glad they tried.

Both Favre and Brees ran similar to Rodgers in the younger years. (favre not as gracefully though). Both stopped leaving the pocket as they got older. No reason Rodgers can't make that adjustment other than stubbornness.

Silverstein writes just about the same evaluation of Rodgers as Reischel did:

This would be true if I didn't watch Rodgers dismantle that defense before getting rocked in the endzone. Since I did see it, its crap.

You said that already.

Do we really need to overthink this? RODGERS IS ONE OF THE ALL-TIME BEST PASSERS AT BEATING THE BLITZ!!!!!

Was he rattled? Yes

Was he pressured? Yes

We’re Packer receivers winning and beating press coverage? No

Did he resort to desperation and going back to his mainstay and forcing the ball to Adams? Yes

Do the Packers need help with another weapon that can stretch the middle of the field and attack the perimeter that also has the ability to beat man press? 1000 PERCENT ABSOLUTELY YES!!!!

DOES 1 + 1 = 2? GET IT?

He lives in his own world. I could replay the 2 deep passes he missed MVS on and he would claim an unnatural gust of wind came from nowhere to move the ball in midair.

[bobblehead]

No Brandon, you are wrong. He wasn't even pressured on his first pick 6 to adams. He had time. He stared right at Adams the entire time. He threw it to a horrible spot. He didn't even get hit on the play if I recall.

Rodgers is great. We realize you have a fetish. He wasn't in this game. You look stupid blaming everyone else. He got rocked and played a crappy game after that. Let me say it again. Rodgers is great. He was not Sunday.

Edit...and we lost our LT which almost always results in a tire fire.

[GB-Brandon]

I’m sorry but an offense that is relying on Mercedes Lewis to make game changing plays down the seam and Jamal Williams making plays on wide receiver screens and a guy like Darius Shepherd to make a big play in crunch time is not an elite Fucken offense!!!

We just saw it play out for gods sake!!

Erin failed to execute. He missed MVS on 2 bombs. He threw 2 pick 6s (practically). Nothing wrong that Erin cleaning up his game can't fix.

I’ve already addressed Rodgers forcing the ball. As far as MVS I don’t know what’s going on. I don’t know if they aren’t on the same page or what’s going on. We don’t know for sure. It’s easy to watch it on tv and see MVS and the ball go somewhere else and blame Rodgers but we’re not sure exactly where MVS was supposed to be. Whatever the case they have had problems thus far hooking up deep just like the last two years. Something isn’t clicking between those two. Hopefully they can figure it out.

I’m not saying we win that particular game if we had that “Other Weapon” but what I am saying is we are probably going to have to play that team again and other teams that can play us that way. We really need to get someone that I am describing. It’s actually a key piece in the Shanahan/LaFluer system if you look around the league and it will also help us match up better against certain teams. It’s not really that hard to understand.

LaFluer knows this by some of things he said after the game regarding Ervin. I can guarantee you LaFluer would not complain with the addition of the piece I am talking about either. If Gute doesn’t do it then he is a complete Jackass but most of us already know that.

Second pick I don’t put on Rodgers. Adams has to real that one in as a pro bowl receiver and come back to the ball more with positioning. Even on the first pick Devante’s route didn’t look typical. Adams just didn’t look right all game. Maybe he needs to get his legs back. Regardless, as posted earlier it’s a 14-10 ballgame. It’s still a game early in the second quarter and we couldn’t do anything for basically three quarters so I don’t know what the hell your talking about?

So the game was over when we were down 14-10 after Rodgers threw two picks early in second quarter. Should they of just stopped the game? Geeez!

[GB-Brandon]

Is our team that Fucken fragile that if Rodgers throws a interception we lose. He has to be that Fucken perfect? It’s Fucken ridiculous!!!

[GB-Brandon]

I’m so glad I’m selling the fuck out of here. The losing is going to be unreal!!! Wait until Jordan Fucken Love is throwing picks every Fucken game!!
