[QUOTE="Sky King, post: 635589, member: 7171"] Teams have identities. Players on the team have identities. Rodgers is not the carefree gunslinger that Favre was. Rodgers seems to be more the conservative CPA. He definitely plays his best when he plays with the lead. It's not part of his identity to carelessly take chances and his so-so record of late comebacks accurately reflects that phenomena. Personally, I have no problem accepting his well-above average cautious approach to (not) throwing INTs. But that comes with a flip-side. He's not going to suddenly throw caution to the wind when he's playing from behind. Fast starts in games must be especially important to Rodgers. Doing so plays to the strength of Rodgers, and his game face and body language in such situations is quite revealing. Getting him to play from behind early is exactly what the opposition is striving for because that seems to be more daunting for Rodgers to overcome than it is for some other elite QBs, especially late in the game. Late comebacks are not his forte. Again, his game face and body language is a terrific barometer of his disappointment and frustration. When he gets "that look" he projects the aura of an already beaten man. He wears his attitude on his sleeve -- maybe a little too much -- and lately, a little too often and a lot too early. [/QUOTE]
