The speed of the game has caught him off guard several times & he lays down. Other times he's looked a lot like his predecessor though & been agile enough to avoid the rush & find enough space to make a play.Maybe it seems like an equal amount of each to some but to me it's a little too much of the former. That can be evidenced by the amount of sacks thru 4 games in '08 as opposed to '07. Different teams played, different players on O-line & different circumstances notwithstanding, I think the 37-year old did a better job of avoiding sacks in '07 than Rodgers has thus far in '08.That's a given with the experience level of Rodgers. Athleticism only gets one so far. Couple that with experience & Rodgers will be highly effective.There's a lot of us who believe this scenario was not in the best interest of the '08 Green Bay Packers. The goal is to win a SB. Gambling that GB would be able to overcome the inexperience of a 1st-year starter at the most important position on a football team was pretentious at best.Will the ends justify the means? Will Rodgers stay healthy enough to validate TT's methods? Will we look back on '08 as a lost opportunity? Am I wrong to pose these hypotheticals after just 4 games? Yes, yes, no, yes?</blockquote>
