Off-season 2023 Banjo

I tend to think injuries did that hahahahaha.

You tend to make excuses for Rodgers, similar to the way some blame him for the sky being blue.

[texaspackerbacker]

Uh, yeah. Does that mean you disagree?

Bert Farve won 10 games with a broken thumb in 2003, why couldn't Rodgers win at least 9? Clearly not even the GOAT Packer, never mind GOAT QB.

They only won 8 when Favre broke his thumb in 1999.

This is true.

They also had Ray Rhodes as HC.
Good DC, bad HC. I'd also say their 2022 roster was better than the 1999 roster.

Injuries happen, especially as QBs age.
If you aren't healthy enough to play well maybe you should sit for a week to give the thumb time to heal? Rodgers wasn't trying to milk some consecutive games streak.

Here's another thought. If you're struggling with accuracy due to an injury, how about making more of the easy and short throws?

Nah. MOF is where the Alex Smiths of the world throw. Gotta prove you're better than Alex Smith, even if he retired years ago without a ring.
Besides, everyone loves those YOLO deep sideline throws when they make the highlights on Sportscenter, who care if they connect at less than 50% and you check out of a run on 3rd and 2.

Yeah, maybe Jonesy should have gotten the ball more.


(Yes, I'm just having a little fun. He was a great QB)

Rodgers missed a bunch of those short throws as well.

Ya. I think that further highlights there was a need to change the approach or rest and get healthy.

The Favre injury and the Brian Williams injury dropped the Packers out of the playoffs more than Rhodes did. Both Favre and Rodgers should have sat for the good of the team.

[texaspackerbacker]

IMO they should NOT have sat Favre or Rodgers except when absolutely not possible for them to play. We had enough games with Tolzien or worst of all Seneca Wallace among other crap backups that Favre or Rodgers at 80/70/60/50% effectiveness was preferable.

99 team had Hasselback and Brooks, both future NFL starters backing up Favor. Last year’s team had J-Lo. Sure, they ain’t Butte or Favor. But an argument could be made that they ain’t Tolzien, Wallace, or worst of all, Brett Hundley, either.

I once spent 200 of my minimum-wage paycheck to watch Hundley play live against the Baltimore She-males, a game in which the Packers were annihilated something like 72-0. Hundley was every bit as abominable in that game as his distant relative, Attila the Hun.

Tin cup would never settle for the safe throw....just sayin'

The funny thing is that wallace only played like a game and a quarter but your statement is still accurate. It was too much.

Which is all great until you dunk 8 in the water on the final hole................or throw a pick in OT.
