[QUOTE="Hauschild, post: 251931, member: 1638"] Yeah - the same line that netted a whopping 27 yards rushing during the NFCCG; the same line that Brett went 13-3 under and Rodgers 6-10. I think it's safe to say at this point based on games played the last several years that Rodgers needs a bit more support on the O-line front. Rodgers is a solid QB in his own right, but what makes him succeed and what Brett needed to succeed are different animals. Rodgers is great at taking what a defense gives him, whereas Brett is great at exposing a defense's aggression. If there appears to be no play, Rodgers will take a sack. On the other hand, Brett will take a chance to avoid the sack - most of the time it did not result in an interception and many times it resulted in play where yards were gained. So, in any particular game, let's say Brett makes 3-5 more plays than Rodgers, which can be a combination of completed passes and not taking a sack. Multiply that by 16 games and that's a significant number of additional plays Brett can make and I would argue is the difference between 11-5 and 8-8 - even if you factor in Brett tossing (1) additional interception per game. So, we'll get Clifton back which certainly will help. Again, the problem I then see is that the "real" problem will get masked and possibly not addressed to the extent it may need to next year. I often hear the phrase about putting your players in the best position to be successful. In order to do that for Rodgers, he needs a solid pass-protecting and run-blocking O-line. It's pretty evident that TT erred when he thought Rodgers could meet or beat Brett's productivity with the same O-line - that is not the case. We can either argue this for the next 5 years, or face the music. [/QUOTE]
