Official Packers vs Lions II #7 Seed Battle Royale Discussion Thread

12's QBR is 91.5 this season.

Lowest of his career since becoming a starter.

Yeah, that's better than a lot of QB's out there, but he is NOT elite this year. And, IMO, the wheels are coming off.

This game is for you then!

1.) Receiving situation has been sketchy all year. Only Doubs has been truly solid from wire to wire, but of course he missed extended time with an injury.
2.) O-line situation did not get sorted until about halfway through the season. Took way, way too long to figure this out. Speaks against the coaching staff's ability to make prudent adjustments, but we already knew that.
3.) Rodgers' injury and also just hasn't been sharp all year due to the moving parts. He has missed some throws from time to time, but a lot of the time there just hasn't been a ton there and the offense has adjusted by becoming less explosive but also more consistent, which is to be expected.

I don't think there is anything about Rodgers on his own that would restrict him from playing closer to his 2021 form than his 2022 form in 2023. That is different than Brady, who is only a shell of his 2020 self, physically, if you have seen any of their games. He has been pretty bad (by his standards) despite their receivers and O-line being pretty good.

Agree smuggler. Agree. I have a feeling 12 is about to go off. Doubs, Watson, Jones, Tonyan…. Someone is going off in the passing game.

How many seconds do you think it would take for you to get Jordan Loves packer pecker out of his pants, ball licker!?

A couple of TDs but if he got the win I’m betting you would ask me if you can try first!!

Tie also eliminates Seachickies unless Packers/Lions also ends in a tie.

Edit: this would have required the Cowpokes to beat the Commanders. They did not.

Still very good, but list of better QBs at this point.

Allen, Maholmes, Burrow

List of similar QBs is big:

Lawrence, Hurts, Brady, Stafford, Dak, Lamaar...i could keep going here with guys who are clearly equal this season only.

[smuggler]

At this point I don't think Brady belongs in that group. He's below average at best. He needs TONS of support to succeed. And his success this year has been an 8-9 record.

Sounds good to me!

So many excuses for Rodgers. I don't need the stats to form an opinion, I saw the games. He played like an average QB this year.

[MadtownPacker]

The question isnt if he didn’t play good enough this year we all know he didn’t. The question is if he’s got enough in the tank for tonight. I think he does.

Yes, he does. This team's better than it's record. We don't need MVP level from Rodgers.

[smuggler]

I agree, Sharpe. He was a middling QB in terms of play and production. It's about tonight, the playoffs (lol), and the future. I think he will be better next year, based on an intersection of his abilities slightly improving and his circumstances greatly improving.
