Message: <blockquote data-quote="HardRightEdge" data-source="post: 814953">8-8ish is an easy cop out with that draft caveat.  This is an 8-8 roster, give or take, before the FAs depart and questionable vets get cut.  And if Rodgers is going to be Rodgers, it still matters quite a bit who that GM or that coach is because the devil is in the details.  I'm sure Rodgerw will adapt to things that work if they can be found, but I would not expect nor want him to change his character.  He's the same guy he was in 2010, the same guy he was in 2014 when the D and ST p*ssed it away.  Robo-QBs don't win.  Gamers with talent and the supporting cast are the winners.If there's an undue big play mentality that has set in it is because that's what happens when you field a sub-standard or unreliable defense that can't close out games.  The 2014 sh*tting of the bed was particularly damaging.  Had Capers been fired right then and there, as he should have been, the gradual slide might have been interrupted sooner.  It's been "just outscore 'em" since.  In the broad sweep of things, Rodgers has been trying to do what he had to, less effectively with less effective players.  Adjustments will be made, but the character of the player can't be changed nor should you try.  You don't take a thoroughbred and yoke him to a plow.</blockquote>
