Rodgers will get better, but Favre was better at feeling the pressure than most QBs I've seen. I don't know that Rodgers will ever develop that because it's instinctual. Favre came into the league seemingly with eyes in the back of his head the way he escaped a collapsing pocket at just the right moment.

My opinion, if we had Favre this year we'd be making another run, this year, at the SB. No realistic chance of that for 2-3 years now. Rodgers may become an elite QB, but it aint going to happen overnight. We're rebuilding now. Rebuilding in the sense that Aaron needs is going to go through a 1-3 year learning curve. You can see it on the field. The guy has got a ton of talent and who knows, maybe he'll become the next Brett Favre. But again, we're rebuilding right now; whether Packer fans want to admit it or not. No koolaid here.

I respectfully disagree. There's not much retooling than last year, except for the greater amount of injuries and a change at QB. The team, for most intents and purposes, are the same.

I agree that Rodgers will take time to mature into an elite QB. But the issue I'm seeing now is that it's primarily not Rodgers' fault that we've been losing games we should have won. If the O-line was playing up to the expectations and the defense wasn't injured, I would fully expect the Packers to be 4-1 right now.

I can only imagine how good our offense and Aaron Rodgers would look if we had a real offensive line, not the bargain basement variety.

Week 1-- 8 rushes 35 yds 1 td 0 sacks, win
Week 2-- 4 rushes 25 yds 1 sack, win
Week 3-- 5 rushes 10 yds 1 td 5 sacks, loss
Week 4-- 2 rushes 8 yds 3 sacks, loss
Week 5-- 2 rushes 4 yds 2 sacks, loss

There is the difference and the reason for the increase in sacks. The first two games were no different than the last 3 pressure wise, the only difference is that Aaron was making smart plays with his feet and avoiding the pressure and picking up first downs. The last nice run I remember him having was the one against Detroit when instead of running out of bounds he cut back towards the middle and got whacked. Maybe that combined with McCarthy's comments on that run have discouraged him from running. It just seems to me he has lost confidence in his ability to scramble which was the most surprising thing about him to start the year.

:whipitgood: Sloppy both ways. Way too many penalties and lousy field position. Defense wasn't playing that well either. Still say the ZB is problematic for this team so, am hoping they shit-can it next season.
