Rogers looked awesome! Lets trade him!

Re: Rodgers

Rodgers did exactly what he had to do. He smoked Pitt's two's and three's. Don't under-estimate that or play it down like it meant nothing. He failed to do that previously so this was a HUGE step up.

Now we just need him to be consistent and do it again next week when he has his chance. If he has another good outing, it will help his confidence and be a win-win situation for everyone.

Where in the world did anyone do that??

Ya know, ya learn a lot more when you PAY ATTENTION BEFORE making comments. :P

Blues - I don't see how you can read into Rodgers play that he was taking a shot af Favre. I also don't think Harrel's play was intended to take a shot at Pickett. And I don't think Bush's play was intended to take a shot at Woodson.

You're the only one reading too much into things here.

Straight from Rogers own mouth. Do you guys want to read into what he himself said, and start bashing him for saying it?

"After what happened last year, I thought it was important to put on a good showing," said Rodgers, who posted a 48.2 rating in two relief appearances and suffered a broken foot in the second one. "I felt rusty. I missed some throws I should have hit.

"At the same time, I thought I was able to make some plays outside of the pocket, use my legs. That's the thing that most people may not count on is me being able to get out of the pocket and scramble and get a first down. I felt comfortable out there."

Re: Rogers looked awesome! Lets trade him!

Anyone else notice that Troy Polamalu, the SS for Pitt, got cleanly past our O-line on a blitz? That he could have layed the wood to Favre, but that he appeared to let up at the last second? You can read any number of things from that, I took it that Troy Polamalu is a class act that understands that this was a pre-season game, and that there was no reason to take a chance at injuring a legend with a free shot. It also shows that our O-line still has some work to do before the start of the season....I was just kidding about the trade thing. I doubt we could get anything for Rogers anyway.

I enjoyed a good laugh...PackerBlues & Packnut are hoots...and you are right...TP showed professional courtesy to Bret...the NFL boys know this young line well...it still has work to do to show NFL improvement....it is early. We shall see by the prime time Fox 3rd preseason game. I'll be watching...off on tour.

As you're probably aware, I didn't like your early posts here. I know you still dislike Thompson a lot. But I think you're doing a great job of acknowledging the good with the bad. I don't read your posts and think "blind hatred" anymore. Your recent approach seems very fair and sensible. And you may in the end be right about Thompson too. Nice work.

What player doesn't want to put on a good showing? What QB including Favre doesn't want to be able to scramble for a first down?

There's a gigantic leap between what your posted above, and turning what he said or how he played into taking a "shot at Favre".

You're trying to take his solid play, and turn it into something sinister. And I think that is ridiculous.

Re: Rogers looked awesome! Lets trade him!

I have been getting some real good laughs from the young guys talking about how great Rogers looked. He did look good, but he looked good against 2'nd and 3'rd string players. Do you think that Pittsburg fans are pointing at Charlie Batch and saying that he did better than Ben Roethlisberger? Do you think any of them are looking for arguments involving the idea of replacing Ben Roethlisberger with Charlie Batch?

Lets be realistic here. Favre played the amount of snaps that M3 wanted him to play. Thats it. There are a number of reasons that Rogers took more snaps than Favre in the game last night. Lets not forget the number one reason: Favre is to valuable to lose in a pre-season game, Rogers is not. Yes, Rogers needs to prove that he can replace Favre............ someday. Right now however, he is nothing more than a back up, no different than Charlie Batch. With Rogers on the field, we were able to get a good look at our young WR's, without taking a chance of our star QB getting hurt.

It also shows that our O-line still has some work to do before the start of the season. Last but not least, I think it was a wake up call to M3 to take his star QB out of the game, and to put Rogers in.

Rogers did look good, he looked very comfortable. He knew what he had to prove, and he went about doing his best to prove it. It was apparent to me, that Rogers felt the need to show people that he could run. He also seemed to go directly for the safe "checkdown" reciever quite a few times, I am guessing because he wanted to prove that he can make quick decisions and will settle for short yardage passes. I am also guessing that he was taking a shot at Favre, as people tend to knock Favre by saying that he does not have the legs he used to have, or that he rarely goes to the "checkdown" reciever. These are good things though. Rogers knows that he has to prove that he can be as productive as Favre, and what better way to prove it than to make a point of doing the things that people say Favre is not that good at doing anymore. Rogers has his own agenda, and I cannot knock him for it. He looked great against those 2'nd and 3'rd stringers, and I am confident that someday, when either Favre retires, or Ted cuts Favre (Ha Ha) that Aaron Rogers will be ready to start.

P.S. I was just kidding about the trade thing. I doubt we could get anything for Rogers anyway.

My vote for "Most Bizarre Analysis By A Fan Ever".

Please do a follow up. What does James Jones great performance mean? Was he trying to promote the use of light bulbs in Indonesia?

Rodgers played well, because he is a good football player, and it is what good football players do.

[PackerBlues]

Really enjoying the sarcasm.

Sorry that I am not as excited about Aaron Rogers performance as some of you guys are. He did look good in that pre-season game though. He looked so good in that pre-season game, that you can quote me when I say that "in the rest of the pre-season games, after Favre has played his 10-15 snaps, Aaron Rogers will put on a great show."

See if you can find anything to misquote, take out of context, or misinterpret in that statement.

[swede]

Really enjoying the...Aaron Rogers performance...He did look good in that...game though...you can quote me...

Your words...not mine. Good to see you are being more positive after a nice preseason win.

I was just about to ask him where he's been "misquoted", and then I read this.

im sorry when i read that i just took it as he wanted to shake the rust of show people what the packers are capable of like good throwning and scrambling when we have to just happens that our starter cant scramble as well anymore doesnt mean that rodgers is taking a shot at favre just a football player trying to play well and gear up for a season

Learn them, use them, love them!!

I too punctuated my posts like a retard at one time. I've since realized that my opinion is judged based on how it is presented and I also was called a retard a couple of times. I decided to put some effort into my punctuation although I still suck at it somewhat. At least try though. If you break things up a little, people can understand you better.

[Him8123]

Damn, that was completely my bad borat. I had not realized that the bell had rung already. I think people still understand what I was saying, despite my lack in punctuality.

[RashanGary]

You probably think it's understandable because you read it like you wrote it. Punctuation is used so others can do the same. I had the same attitude. Like I said, I still suck. I'm sure some highly educated communication majors think I'm a retard (and I try). A little effort goes a long way though. A couple cleverly placed periods and commas do wonders for a short paragraph.
