Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dr.Jackanapes" data-source="post: 642125" data-attributes="member: 11514">The underlying concept here is that Rodgers is a poor leader, therefore guys like Davante Adams and Eddie Lacy (just two examples) are loafing it.  This is a convenient thought process, but try it from the following angle:Guys like Adams are not able to self-motivate.  The next contract isn't tangible enough or important enough to work toward.  In addition, winning is also not a supreme motivator.  So, Adams et al loaf in part because they are not self-motivated and because they are sulking because Rodgers is being a pouty jerk.Fine, under the assumption that Rodgers is a crappy leader, these guys are still responsible for doing their jobs.  The Packers, therefore, did a poor job selecting the sort of character guys they have been able to get in the past (by character, I mean work ethic).  In this scenario, Rodgers sucks, but is not ultimately responsible for the crappy attitudes and work ethics of the players around him.  Think about this: if you have a crappy boss, do you just shut it down?  If so, blame Rodgers.  If you work through adversity and difficult hierarchical and interpersonal situations, then blame everybody.</blockquote>
