It's interesting that a football game can affect fans so deeply that they'll get angry and depressed, even letting it affect their demeanor around members of their families. We've read those posts from those who have admitted that their foul demeanor has lasted days, even though they have absolutely no control over what happens in those games.
Yet, conversely when private lives may affect the games played (by the people who actually do play those games) some posters get offended and want such discussions to be off-limits, at least when it comes to a certain sacrosanct individual. Except that we have discussed the personal lives of Guion, Ray Rice, Michael Vick, and Brett Favre, and many others on this board in great length. There seems to be more than enough precedent for that. If anyone has actively participated in those discussions - but now finds any discussion regarding Rodgers' personal life to be affecting his game to be inappropriate - then welcome to the world of hypocrisy.
The current starting QB for the Packers should not be immune from such discussions. Connect the dots. We have learned that his game performances had declined since about the time his personal problems began to surface. Coincidence? Perhaps. However, that "coincidence" makes any discussion regarding his game performances fair game for discussion.
Maybe, just maybe his failures on the field are not exclusively the fault of his receivers, play-callers, coaches, injuries to his linemen, and a GM committed to draft and develop. Far more important men than football players have been undone by their egos.
