I know a lot of you hate me. But, I'd like to make a point and see what you think:
If you listen to some of these talking heads on ESPN, etc they say that GB's o-line sucks and that's why Rodgers gets sacked a lot.
I know GB's o-line isn't perfect, but I think they get a bit of a bad rap.
Hear me out:
My preface: I don't think Romo is great or even better than average.
And, I think Rodgers is probably better than Drew Bledsoe.
However, when Bledsoe was Dallas QB, everyone in Dallas land *****ed about the o-line being awful. He got sacked constantly. Then, when they put Romo in, all of the sudden, the o-line was much better.
The truth: Romo got rid of the ball quicker. Watching that Vikes/GB game I notice that Favre drops back, makes a decsion and unloads the ball in about 3 to 4 seconds. Rodgers holds the ball sometimes between six and seven seconds.
I've heard some Pack fans say that he is afraid to make a mistake. But, I think he is just too in love with the big play. (which he can make a lot of times, don't get me wrong)
But, he needs to learn that a three yard pass can make it 2nd and seven. While a seven yard sack makes it 2nd and 17.
I think he reminds me of a better version of Bledsoe. Good but flawed.
The question is:
is this an innate thing or can he change? More often than not, I think guys just can't change it. We'll see.
What do you think about this?
