[QUOTE="Barb in Oregon, post: 256880, member: 1917"] I don't see this as a one-aspect issue. No one on that team is so bad as to take the blame all on themselves. No quarterback ever put up great numbers or many Ws without an able o-line and recievers who could hang on to balls that hit them on the numbers. Needless to say, there isn't an o-line or receiver corps in the NFL that can make a truly inept quarterback into anything other than what he is. I think everybody on this team needs to step up, in view of who they've drawn as teammates. Rodgers needs more time than he's getting and the o-line needs him to do more with less time than he would like to have, to learn to take less over a loss. There isn't anything that says that both can't be true. Nobody is entitled to teammates that make his job easy. All that can be asked is that he make it attainable. Green Bay can attain more wins than they've been getting. As long as each player decides that making up the difference is his personal responsibility, I don't see a reason that can't happen. My sense is that the Green Bay players see it the same way. If I had to bet, I'd bet they will improve. That is the difference between this team and Detroit in years past. I don't know what this years' team is doing, but Detroit had been engaging in a blame game in their locker room, where too many guys were looking for excuses why they didn't need to step it up a notch, why the failures weren't their fault. I know this, because they said so in public, loudly. You may as well complain to everyone at your neighborhood Christmas party that your spouse fails you in bed, and expect that to help to problem. Somebody has to start thinking, "We're failing, and I need to make every contribution I can to change that. I have to find something to do that I'm not already doing. I have to be the leader here." Otherwise, they aren't going to turn things around. I think Rodgers can stay on his feet and connect for positive yards more than he does. Maybe its just because I like him, but I think he will. Didn't the saying "Quitters never win and winners never quit" come out of Green Bay? Lombardi said it, but if Green Bay players hadn't taken that to heart and lived it, nobody would remember a word he ever said. That ethic is why the game's highest prize is called the Lombardi trophy. That's a good history to draw from. [/QUOTE]
