[QUOTE="Kitten, post: 390240, member: 2692"] I took your comments as praise for Rodgers, always refreshing coming from a fan of another team. I actually got into an argument this morning with an Eagles fan who tried to tell me that Vick was better than Rodgers. I referenced some points made in this thread as a foundation for my argument. I enjoyed taking him down piece by piece. Eagles fans can be very frustrating. Anyway, I have some more stuff to add: As good as Rodgers is playing right now, perhaps the scariest thing of all, is that he is still improving. It's almost as if with every game he gets better and I notice something different. I don't think he has even neared hitting his crescendo. He's hitting his targets with alarming accuracy and it doesn't hurt that he has an arsenal of weapons to choose from. The number of plays he can run is infinite. He's also getting protection from the o-line that he didn't get last year. There was one play in the Broncos game where he literally had a wall of protection that stretched out in a straight line from either side. I don't think a single Bronco managed to get through that wall. Watching the replay from the aerial view, it was like watching pure perfection. This is more praise for the o-line, but it gives Rodgers time to wind up and you know how deadly that can be. Our offense got me thinking of how hard it must be to game plan against us. They have 11 guys and more than half of them need to be in two places at once. Zone doesn't seem to work, there is just too many places we can go. The only other thing I can think of is man to man. But I can't even think of a team who has used even that effectively against us. Not with the speed of our guys, one or several Packers are going to bust out of coverage and with the pocket protection Rodgers has now, it only takes a fraction of an inch to hit up one of them. You have say, 6 or 7 guys on our offense that need double coverage. Not to mention that we now have an emerging running game to take the pressure off the passing game. Starks has been a Godsend, Grant is a rock and Alex Green is an emerging new talent. How can the opposing D line even try and read our plays? If we line up with 3 wideouts, a TE (Finley!), and 1 or 2 RBs, how can you defend against that? By the way, I won that little argument with the Eagles fan but I felt bad for him and told him I'd buy him a beer later as consolation for my harsh words of literal truth. The sword of truth cuts deep and the Eagles are already bleeding. I felt bad for the guy in the end. [/QUOTE]
