Aaron Rodgers hoping to impress other teams??

[Patler]

Part of his problem is that he hasn't had a good pre-season yet. Until that happens, I don't see his stock gaining any value. Think about some of our QB's who have gone on to bigger and better things, namely Hasselbeck. He always excelled in the pre-season if I remember correctly.

1st preseasons:
Hasselbeck - 8 of 22; 160 yards; 1 TD; 2 int.
Rodgers - 20 of 37; 172 yards; 1 TD; 2int.

2nd preseasons:
Hasselbeck - 35 of 51; 453 yards; 9 TD; 1 int.
Rodgers - 22 of 38; 323 yards; 3 TD; 1 int.

Other than Hasselbeck's 9 TDs in 51 attempts, which is absolutely amazing, their numbers over the first 2 preseasons were not all that different.

Rodgers was a high pick so his expectations are high. Hasselback was a low pick so his were low. Looks like they were pretty similar with perception being the biggest difference.

Yes, but Hass DID do something amazing!! And he wasn't a first round pick, either. I'd be curious to know the sack counts for the two as well. It just seems to be that Rodgers hangs on to the ball too long.

All I'm saying is that his pre-seasons haven't been that flashy and for a first round pick, he needs to do much better for teams to take notice.

If you watch Rodgers, he can't read the defense quick enough to make the play. So he hangs onto it and scrambles. It's like he is afraid to throw it out there. It's all about his confidence at this point. He talks the talk but no where near walks the walk.

Nothing wrong with these quotes; Rodgers probably wants to play sooner rather than later..both for his passion of the game as well as the opportunity to get a nice raise if she shows he can succeed in the real season.

He seems like a nice guy; I never liked the pick from day one but you have to feel some empathy for him. He wants to play and if Favre plays two more years Rodgers would probably just as soon be given another opportunity.

He looked horrid before last year and looked alright in the preseason. I hope to see a Hasselbeck like Preseason performance this year.

Love that these old threads are still on here. Some people never learn.

I sure hope he impresses the hell out of every team we play this year. Haha

I feel sorry for Aaron, and when he was injured in the Patriots game, the irony was somewhat funny, but at the same time, so frustrating for him. I mean, when it happened, it just made us all go "wow", and reinforce in our minds the greatness of Brett's streak. Unfortunately for Rodgers, I just think that his inability to throw a consistent pass between 15 and 25 yards with zip on it will be his downfall. He will have to be almost perfect in every other aspect of his game to make up for that lack of skill and arm strength. I don't think he will ever be our starting QB. Justin Harrell better he an f'n probowler, because I was pissed that we didn't take Brady Quinn. He just seems to have so much more upside than Aaron. We could've probably worked a nice package on draft day to trade Aaron and get to or three or more lower picks for him. Which is what TT seems to live for, getting 15 picks a year. Five years from now, I believe we will be ranking this as the second stupidest draft move in Packers history (behind the Barry Sanders mishap).

No wonder this person doesn't post any more. You couldn't be more wrong about those two QB's if you tried.

I am also struck by the number of good posters who have moved on from Packerrats for whatever reason over the years. Too bad. But life is about change.

Two that immediately come to mind are Patler and PBMax. Obviously missing some here but those would be my top two.

[Fritz]

Me, too.

Reading old threads like this crack me up. Some really bad takes that didn't age well at all. LOL.

[RashanGary]

We were in the exact situation 15 years go as now. A HOF QB approaching 40 and a young guy drafted at the end of round 1 when the team didn’t need to draft a QB.

I’m crossing my fingers for Love. It would be so disheartening for Bears fans and Vikings fans for us to have 45 years of consecutive HOF QB play. I don’t care how unlikely it is. That’s the hope!

The posters who actually take strong stances are both rewarded and fleeced

So is Jordan Love a future Hall of Fame QB ?

How many Pro Bowls does he make ?

Don’t know. Just like I didn’t know with Rodgers, but I’m encouraged. We may have the future at QB. Those are good to get before you actually need them.

Definitely worth the risk late in round 1 when a guy you like is there.

I don't know either; I was just trying to bait you into taking a stance

I think he may be an average NFL starting QB.

And I hope you come to bump this thread 15 years from now if Da Love Machine becomes out 3rd straight Hall of Fame QB

hope he is always looked to impress other teams....in a green bay jersey!
