[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 598704"] In Bart Starr's day, most QBs called their own plays. You had the same personnel on nearly every down, whether it was run or pass...QB, HB, FB, TE, FL, SE. There were no helmet communications, no rapid fire substitution packages. If a play was sent in, it was at a timeout or by rotating guards. While Rodgers might call 40% of the plays, that would be in hurry up or via audibles. And when calling audibles, it's within the constraints of the personnel package sent in for the play the coach has called. In today's game, which is about match ups, the only way to go old school would be to have Rodgers signal in the personnel he wants. There's just not enough time for that and the QB has enough on his plate already. [/QUOTE]
