OFFICIAL AARON RODGERS THE LIVING LEGEND THREAD

[NewsBruin]

Of course OL matters. And this is absolutely a weird desperation move. I don't think WR talent is the problem in Florham Park.

This makes a lot of sense (Adams wanted a trade, LV needed to get something for him), but it also makes no sense and perfectly explains why teams like NYJ and LV are usually bad.

Next year they'll have Rodgers, Garrett Wilson, Adams, Lazard, Hall, etc. there and hire some hotshot like Ben Johnson... and then ignore the OL again, get Rodgers killed and still stink because they have to play a backup QB like Brett Rypien for half the season.

Also - Rodgers came very close to breaking 300 yards! That Hail Mary sure helped his numbers.

As not an AFC East fan, this looks like the owner or GM playing Madden and wanting to make moves because they look cool.

Fire the head coach? Likely looking to next year.
Trading for a previously-top WR to pair with your previously-top QB? Win now.
Giving a quality DL permission to seek a trade? Likely looking to next year.

I don't know what kind of shape Aaron and Davante will be next year, but it won't be as good as their best Packer seasons.

WE'RE GETTING THE BAND BACK TOGETHER BOYS!!!

Is this a tweet from Randall Cobb?

Agree it feels like someone playing Madden.
Rumor is they are shopping WR Mike Williams, who slipped after not "being on the same page" as Rodgers on the interception that sealed the game vs BUF. Was interesting - after the game Rodgers more or less blamed Williams and the route vs. his throw. A lot of QBs will just say they need to make a better throw and leave it there, but Rodgers ain't got time for that diplomacy or leadership stuff. I can't imagine him playing with GB's receivers last year LMAO.

The Jets are a collection of good players who don't play good together as a team.

My god. How shocking.

That whole culture is ugly over there. The sum of the parts is less than what it ought to be.

That wouldn't have anything to do with Karen, though.

i just saw the video of him throwing williams under the bus

just wow

said he was going to throw to lazard, but he was triple covered. so in his awesomness, he decided to throw a no look 40 yard pass to williams. but jesus saw out of the corner of his eye that williams wasn't running the right route. so jesus had to adjust at the last second (causing the ball that was thrown into double coverage to come up way short, making williams slip trying to get back to it)

if williams hadn't slipped he wouldn't have even gotten a hand on the ball since it was such a shitty throw

and now williams is being traded

sounds like jets fans are starting to catch on to his bullshit though

so glad he's not our mess anymore

the video is on this page

I think the throw was good. Williams got lost.

Sounds like I’m gonna have to catch some jets games now. This all is too much fun to miss.

Who triple covers Lazard?

[NewsBruin]

My god. How shocking.

It's not his fault the coaches couldn't get his receivers ready during mandatory minicamps. Do you expect Aaron to do everything himself?

[CaptainKickass]

Who triple covers Lazard?

I agree it's not necessary but In all fairness, Allen Lazard DID haul in the hail mary for the TD just before halftime. Might've made the DC a little over cautious.

I dunno.

Who triple covers Lazard?

he was triple covered and williams was double covered on the play

you would think others would be wide open

but as usual, karen was locked on to his one target

Jets probably used the other 8 players to protect Erin from a three man rush.

Sandy Koufax famously retired at age 31 after going 27 - 9 in his final season, with a 1.73 ERA. He had traumatic arthritis, which meant he could have a permanent disability down the road - so he left the game.

I wish some of these older QB's would follow his lead. For every Tom Brady, there are a bunch of Rodgerses and Rothlisbergers hanging around, showing flashes of brilliance but mostly showing that time catches up to even the greatest.

[texaspackerbacker]

How many tens of millions $ does it take to outweigh the prospect of some vague distant future potential problem? I empathize a helluva lot more with the risk takers.

[run pMc]

Rodgers career earnngs are well north of $300M, approaching $400M. He's a shell of the QB he was 10 years ago, but that's not exactly a shocker. It's hard to hang up the cleats, I think it may take a bad injury or ugly half season to do it. It's not far off. Hes taken some vicious hits (by today's standards) behind that OL. Meanwhile, GB's OL has given up 8 sacks in 6 games.

Yeah, the press conference after was surprising, I guess I'd gotten used to QBs taking responsibility for picks or bad plays, not blaming your teammates. Do not miss that circus. The NY media much eat that up.
