It's interesting to see that Winston underwent Lasik surgery.OK, you're crazy.I doubt throwing zero interceptions in a season is any kind of Rodgers objective. We've seen throws into sideline coverage that are psudo-punts, including one this season, where a pick is as good as a punt, in a risk-reward calculation.
"Just slinging it", with Winston being the most extreme example. isn't anything you want to see from your QB.
the one person who always comes up for blame when discussing rodgers only having one SB ring is thompson (the Packers front office) and justifiably so. never heard anyone blame rodgers himself. that can't be applied to the thompson years and the team hasn't been good enough in the years since. he's always been cocky...which i liked. he backed it up and being the highest paid qb was cool as he was earning it. Packers outsiders never liked it though. now he's seen as, as you put it, "decent" but, over-paid, attitudinal, and can't back it up in his current state of self awareness. that's what's making him a target. he doesn't give crap what people think. he keeps feeding into that...going on danica's show for example. i think he's got a couple of decent years left. they've got to keep upgrading personnel, he's got to buy-in fully and yes "manage" the offense. I'm 100% certain he can do it at a higher level than 2018 goff or 2019 garoppolo who's offense MLF wants to run but looked nothing like ours for the most part. MLF has been very PC in his post season comments, towards the subject of his offense, as you'd expect. i'm ready for the draft and to see what next season brings...keeping expectations real.
I think most of us still feel pretty fortunate call Rodgers our QB, flaws and all.
Emphasis on most of us.
i've always said the thompson draft-and-develop philosophy didn't serve Rogers well. his last few years were particularly poor.This isn't only for you, but given your stance on Roders, you are an easy one to "pick on"
What is so funny about this post is that it comes from you. You started it out just perfectly. Talking about Rodgers not having enough good players around him during his career to sniff the SB enough. Thompson failing him and the Packers. Spot on man, you finally see the light! Or do you? Only 2 years have passed since Thompson left and you expect everything to be cured? By who? Just Rodgers? Thompson did not leave this organization draft wise in very good shape and Gute not hitting on a new TE or WR's hasn't helped matters.
Then you go off on your tangent about how Rodgers has changed and his attitude is the problem. I got news for you, he really hasn't changed a lot. He is still the same cocky, slightly moody guy that he was in the draft room in 2005. Same guy that nobody had a problem with when they won a Super Bowl. What has changed are the fans and media trying to explain why the Packers aren't winning more Super Bowls under his guidance and trying to put it all on Rodgers. Do you think Rodgers had enough offensive weapons last year to really put up big numbers and hang with a team like the 49'ers? 2018 while playing hurt, did he have much in the way of offensive weapons?
Has Rodgers skill set declined some? Yes, of course, but he is still capable of outplaying quite a few QB's in the NFL, but Gute is going to have to find a way to give him some help on offense for Rodgers and the Packers to sniff another Super Bowl.
As a Cowboys fan had to point out to us, we are still pretty lucky to have Rodgers as a QB and if people don't see that, they are fooling themselves that improving upon him is as easy as they want to make themselves and others think.
i think the D was in much worse shape than the O. this next draft will go to the O but not until the 2nd round. a DT or ILB needs to be chosen before any O players...but that's just me. maybe O will get the nod in FA.
they ran it some of the time. all you have to do to know they didn't run the complete shanahan (MLF) O is open your eyes and ears. the formations, pace, timing, wasn't there a lot of the time. the mccarthy spread O was featured a lot of the time. there was too much shotgun, too much holding the ball...especially the first three quarters of the season. listen to their own words in the pressers. if you choose not to see/hear it, well...
Or consider the fact this isn't Shanahan with a robo QB, there is so much more available with THIS QB than THAT QB.
these points should be directed to wimm as more evidence that they didn't run the offense MLF really wants to run.
yup. quarterback friendly.
I directed them at the appropriate person.
Gary I feel at this point you're doing this just for the sake of not being wrong. There's nothing wrong with that dude. I don't think anyone is going to hold it against you.
