OFFICIAL AARON RODGERS THE LIVING LEGEND THREAD

[Fritz]

One question is whether Mike Tomlin is that tough, respected guy who can bend Aaron to the will of the team, or will Tomlin be the pal, the old colleague, and let Rodgers be the worst version of himself?

Either way, I don't think Rodgers has the physical tools any more to be great or even consistently really good.Once he lost his legs he was not the same player. Like any of them. He'll flash the occasional brilliant throw, but I don't think he's going to have some big career renaissance. That and having a deeper threat guy like Metcalf as your main weapon seems like a weird way to approach the end of the Rodgers era.

And let's see if Tomlin can ever get Rodgers to throw into the middle of the field.

An article on a Steelers website stated that in 2024 Rodgers was 25/63 on throws targeted at 20 yards or more. Two things stand out: the completion percentage is very poor and the number of deep targets relative to overall passing attempts was quite low.

Also, contrary to what his history was in GB, he got the ball out quickly. Of 584 attempts, 363 were thrown in 2.5 seconds or less. He did not hold onto the ball like he did with the Packers where year after year his average time from snap to release was among the longest, if not the very longest.

It was also remarked that Rodgers seemed to show the effects of every sack.

Like most old QBs, as someone said, he is a QB you can win with, not one you win because of.

Those all seem related. He got the ball out faster because he didn't trust the line to hold the rush as much as in GB (given 2023, that was reasonable). That meant less time to get things downfield, so fewer attempts. Feeling every sack feeds back on this, especially since 25 of the 40 sacks were on attempts where he held the ball more than 2.5 seconds.

I tried to post a photo. Have never figured out how to do it. Oh well.

[Fritz]

I used to know how, but now it's not working. Might not be you. Might be the machinery of Packerrats.

Two ways type it manually enter these around the pic link [IMG]Link here[/IMG]



The other is by clicking on the little icon that looks like a picture frame with a tree. It will bring a box you put the web address and click it to automatically add the tags above for you.

Or you could just listen to dumbasses that havent figured it out in almost twenty years.

He has also largely lost the athleticism to escape pressure. He is changing his game. Brady never had mobility, and he was notorious for taking care of his health. Those 2 factors allowed him to be effective longer.

Tried that and it didn’t work. Doesn’t seem like it’s possible from a phone. Need an upgrade to the functionality of this forum.

This should be as easy as point and click.

I use only my phone for this site.

You can use just about any image hosting site. Like this one is PostImg.cc and then copy the ‘hotlink for forum:’ and paste here.

This is my view of Day 3 of the draft and Mr Irrelevant. We ended up front row - pretty cool.

The blond with the clear stripper heels - very relevant.

Maybe you should ask one go your grandkids to show you. The function does work. Are you using the mobile version of the site?

Any proof that Butte’s marriage is real? Family ain’t convinced.

[Fritz]

Time will tell.

I'm curious about what his attitude will be for the Steelers in camp. Will his newfound newlywed status help him be a bigger, better person to everyone, remind him that he needs to support and be a part of the bigger picture?

Not that I think it'll really matter in terms of the season. At this point, he's an old QB in a league where, once you lose your legs, you become increasingly ineffective.

Sadly, I flip burgers, so it’s extremely difficult to find a bride - can’t even afford a mail-order bride from the Philippines, a la Tex. (Joking,Tex. You’re a stud.) Ain’t ever wed, so don’t know what weddings are like. Odds are good, I am gonna perish without offspring.

But I reckon, in these fast times of social media, wedding pics are all over cyberspace. Not a single pic of Butte and “Britani” at their wedding can be found. Butte’s family thinks Britani is a figment of Butte’s imagination.

It’s possible Butte got married overseas and he’s good at keeping his private life private. It’s also possible Butte’s crazy.

What’s the difference between fragment and figment?
