[QUOTE="Thirteen Below, post: 1059838, member: 18006"] That's true.... I watched every Jets game I could get, and he had pretty much the worst year of his career last year, all in all. He was a shadow of his old self at the start of the year; he clearly had not fully recovered from the injury (and you never really do fully recover from an Achilles anyway, especially when you're a senior citizen), and his game was very limited. His footwork, which had once been so pretty to watch, was slow, no spring in his step... he couldn't bounce up on his toes, because the tendon supposedly healed "tight". He couldn't step into a throw the way he used to; whereas he was once one of the best there ever was at throwing a pass with his whole body, he had to rely on his arm much more than we were used to seeing. And of course, when you miss an entire season at his age, you're going to be mentally and physically rusty. His timing, his pocket awareness was off, and he wasn't as nimble at making pass rushers miss. But he was still Aaron Rodgers, and crafty enough to find ways around his limitations. But, he was inconsistent. He had 7 games with a QB rating of over 100, but in between it was often in the 70s, once even 44. He still finished with 3900 yards, 28 TDs and 11 INTs, which for a lot of quarterbacks would be a career year. What I worry about is that last year, he was protected by a bottom half offensive line - but the Vikings were a Top 10 O line, and they probably got a lot better last week. That's going to compensate for an awful lot of his limitations, and Aaron Jones and the WR corps are going to help tremendously. There are a couple of ways it could go... on the one hand, he was terribly inconsistent last year, and it's possible that with another year under his belt, that will be even worse. But if he works that out, he could make that club a very dangerous team. Not a Super Bowl team (because there's no way a 42-year old Rodgers wins 3 playoff games in a row), but very dangerous on any given Sunday. [/QUOTE]
