[QUOTE="elcid, post: 861658, member: 12360"] I was hoping for but didn't count on the playoffs this season so personally I am very happy with how the season went. We have bounced back great after 2 down years, and are in prime position to become a powerhouse in the 2020 season. However I definitely question AR's ability and leadership at this point. For all he has accomplished over the years, he has done it with a great Oline and great receivers and I am willing to chalk up a lot of his success to these factors. But i definitely do not question his desire or passion, not at all. It's chip-on-his-shoulder Aaron of all people. I don't fault Rodgers for the botched snap, or even Corey. It's just unlucky, plain and simple. But yes, Aaron has been worse at sniffing out and eluding pressure. He has also become way more hesitant to throw into tight windows. This year wasn't as easy as years prior for him when he had a solid stable of receivers. But every year it's the same; we are eliminated prior to the big game and it's due to the Packers failing Aaron in one way or another. His "unparalleled talent" is wasted duo to our team lacking a solid group of (take your pick: run defense, next year its pass defense, a stable running game, bad coaching, a shaky oline, or a subpar group of wide receivers). ANYTHING but Rodgers. Look, I get that our receivers are inadequate, like reaaally inadequate. Or that our defense isn't top 3 or top 5. But chances of having a top 3, or even a top 5 defense in one QB's career are slim, ESPECIALLY when you pay said QB big, big bucks. And even then it would be hard to keep the Niners under 20 points, a team which scored 30 points per game on average. I am very happy with AR as our QB as I do not know how it is to support a team without a franchise QB and all I have known is Rodgers, but i'll take your guys' words for it (plus what I've seen on teams like the Bengals, Jaguars or Browns) that it stinks. None of this is an emotional rant after yesterday's loss. When we finally faced arguably the best coached, most complete and most talented team in the league, of course we failed to keep up with them, as one would expect. I was prepared for a loss, be it a brutal one. But to chalk this loss mostly up to our D when our D, not our O, has kept us in most games this season seems very wrong to me. The failure to acknowledge that our problem at this point first and foremost is (passing) offense is ignorant imho. I am willing to see how Aaron performs after attracting some new pass catchers before I would call him overrated. But at some point you should judge the QB's who are in the GOAT conversation by their crunch time performances, and while it has been good more often than not, it's not been as good as his status of "greatest QB talent ever" would suggest.
