[QUOTE="Shanghai Pack, post: 514626, member: 9293"] I have to quibble with this. Rodgers isn't anything in close games. The Packers are 5-17 in those games, not Rodgers. And I say that not as semantics. My point is not to overreact to that 5-17 stat on its own as if it was Rodgers responsibility that we didn't come through at the end of all those game. I recognize he didn't get the TD at the end of this one, but there are a few instances that come readily to mind where he DID actually lead the offense down to score in the final few minutes of the game, only for the defense to promptly give up a final minute scoring drive of its own or Crosby to miss a field goal, or we ended up losing in OT. Specifically I'm remembering the Dolphins game from 3-4 years ago where Rodgers tied the game on a run with about 10 seconds left, but we lost in OT. Or the Redskins game the week before that where our defense blew a 10 point lead in the last 7 minutes and we lost in OT. Or the Steelers game the season before where Rodgers played almost perfectly in the 4th quarter and got us back in the game to take the lead, only for our defense to let the Steelers roll right down the field and win the game in the last seconds. It's also worth mentioning that of the 5-17 stat you mentioned, 7 of the losses game in Rodgers first season as a starter, which I think we can all agree is acceptable for a first year player and not something we can hang on his neck for his whole career as if he was still the same guy. In 2008 we were 0-7 in games decided by 4 points or less. Since then it's been 5-10 and considering how we've lost some of the games (I explained three of them above), I'd say really at worst, Rodgers has been completely normal/average at winning close games, which is really what you ask for.
