Is Aaron Rodgers really a genius?

No. Simply an adult who doesn't worship jocks on my tv.
I watch, they entertain. Nothing special about it.

i've changed my mind. savant? no. a savant wouldn't have taken 12+ months to realize the MLF O was the way to go. he'd have seen/known it from the get-go. genius leaves room for being taught. understanding the errors made.

As I've said from the beginning, Packer success is a LOT more about LaFleur subordinating his ego and adapting to having the GOAT QB than it is about Rodgers buying in to LaFleur's way of doing things.

This is actually a very good take. I complained for the last 3 years of fat mike and an offense that wasn't using RB or TE in the passing game. No short looks. If Rodgers were a genius he would have taken it on himself to take more short stuff in the fat ones offense. He would have audibled INTO running plays at opportune moments. Rodgers is smart, and complete. He is not the smartest QB in the league by any means.

Is that why Rodgers completed more passes to TE and RB this year than any season I can recall?

Edit: Is that why we traded up in the 1st for a QB...cuz Flower was just giving in to Rodgers?

I do believe that most people that are at the top of any field have above average intelligence, yes. That's not to say they're educated or whatever, but things are firing a hair faster in the old noodle for the elite folks vs the regular folks IMO.

Clearly, LaFleur is a positive influence with all the motion and maybe better pass patterns, etc. I'm not the least bit negative about him. But when LaFleur came here, the talk was about run first - which was supposed to be LaFleur's thing. We absolutely did not do that - thankfully. Rodgers is the reason things are as excellent as they are, and LaFleur had the good sense to recognize that.

Nope

He's an assassin.

[MadtownPacker]

I doubt anyone would question Rodgers IQ.

Now sexuality?

[MadtownPacker]

I'm sure he needs a blow job. Go get it, Brandon!

Cool! Brandon will find out for us.

[George Cumby]

Nope

He's an assassin.

A surgical assassin.

An assassinating surgeon?

An asinine sturgeon?

I like "surgical assassin".

Have you listened to a Lamaar Jackson interview?

The talk wasn't run first, the talk was to first fix and use the running game. I just did a google search and after getting "did you mean black cocks" I found this:
