The Packers have problems but among them is not their starting QB. He’s their most important player by far and a main reason for optimism over the next several seasons. But of course Rodgers isn’t perfect: I would prefer he not make snide remarks about reporters and I’d prefer he would have respectfully addressed the media after the loss in SF. I would also prefer he refrain from playing GM and advocating for one player or another.
I’ve heard him take responsibility for mistakes on his weekly radio show so the critique from Finley’s agent rings hollow. Not only that but consider the likely source: I’ll bet 99 times out of 100 any mistake between Rodgers and Finley has been the immature Finley’s fault. In fact because Rodgers is very bright and dedicated I’ll bet the vast majority of times there’s a screw up on offense, it is someone else’s fault. And regarding Sharpe’s comment about how well the receivers like Rodgers: First I don’t care and second, the source of that is probably Finley or Jennings and Jennings may be upset Rodgers hasn’t gone to bat for him as he did for Jones and now Woodson. (That’s one of the reasons I’d prefer he leave the ‘GMing’ to the GM.) And whether or not being a great QB = being a great person? Are you f’ing kidding me!? First, again I don’t care. Second is Sharpe saying he is a great person and can therefore judge the greatness of others? Or is his source that great person? Adding that comment is the tip off to me that Sharpe and his source are full of it. And Jennings’ sister? Her idiotic comments just serve to confirm the likely source of the discontent among the WRs.
I would also prefer Rodgers leave the coaching to the coaches but regarding Cobb and EDS, I think he was right. The play of EDS was certainly better than Saturday’s. Also, I’m sure some would prefer he would have not answered the question about that botched punt return against the Bears, but I don’t mind him pointing out the obvious. He’d look foolish saying anything else. As I said he’s not perfect but being “too honest” is a fault I’m happy to live with.
Hear, hear.
