Jim Rome's burn on Aaron Rodgers

Here is the summary, paraphrasing as best as I can:

Now that Rodgers has his first playoff win people are talking about him as if he has some monkey on his back. UH WHAT, monkey. The guy is a 3rd year starter. Quit making it seem like he is a 10 year starter who gets to the playoffs every year only to fizzle out and lose. In his first start the guy threw for over 400 yards and accounted for 5 TDs. It's not his fault he lost that game. I've been on his bandwagon since day 1. The guy is 27 entering his prime and now that he may have a running game in James Starks he could be even more dangerous then he is now. Look out NFL.

Yeah I saw it too. I love the respect that Rodgers gets, especially since the end of the game last night.

Just gotta stay focused and keep winning!

He just said what many people here have said multible times.

However, it is good because Jim has a bigger audience.

I haven't cared for the Cowherd-esque opinion that since he hasn't won the SB yet as a 3rd year starter he's a putz, but at the same time if you listen to ESPN today, you'd swear that Aaron Rodgers is everyone's first born.

How can you tell a talking head is wrong, his TelePrompTer is moving.

I want to go out like my Grandpa did. Peacefully in his sleep.
Not screaming in terror like his passengers.

It's funny because he gets credit for being a "winning" playoff quarterback now but if Vick throws for a TD on that play instead of an INT he is shunned, without actually doing anything differently in the game.

The idea of quarterback wins belongs in the stone age.

Too bad Colin was "Sick" and couldn't appear on SN today. I wanted to hear what he had to say. Jim's final burn sums up exactly how I felt about Cowherds criticism towards Rodgers.

This also kills skip bayless' hate on Aaron as well.

Excellent point.

Aaron Rodgers post game comments are testament to the fact that no one player wins the game by himself.

If anything, our defense got a monkey off their back by

a) Completely trouncing last years embarassing performance at that stage
b) Coming through in the clutch

Zero2Cool is my captain.

Yup agreed but that's the NFL, the QB gets too much credit and too much blame, will never change.

Mucky Tundra (31-May) : @AndyHermanNFL Sean Rhyan getting some reps at center in walkthroughs. They are rotating guys everywhere.

Mucky Tundra (31-May) : or that might have been an individual drill thing

Mucky Tundra (31-May) : that was from the 29th but I've seen other combs (including Rhyan@C)

Mucky Tundra (31-May) : @ByRyanWood Without Elgton Jenkins and Zach Tom, #Packers starting OL: Rasheed Walker, Jordan Morgan, Josh Myers, Sean Rhyan, Andre Dillard.

Martha Careful (31-May) : I have never seen an OTA, but who is lining up at LT and RG with starters? or is it all individual drills?

Zero2Cool (30-May) : Bears are the first team to be selected for Hard Knocks

dfosterf (29-May) : Andy Herman and his Pack a day podcast put up GB strengths yesterday. This morning he did weaknesses. They are both very good.

Zero2Cool (25-May) : Yes.

beast (24-May) : Does he say what it is?

Zero2Cool (22-May) : Christian Watson believes he has discovered the root cause his soft-tissue leg injuries

Zero2Cool (22-May) : Savage played last half of season with tear in rotator cuff

Zero2Cool (22-May) : SISSIES!!!!

Mucky Tundra (22-May) : Sounds like both Kraft and Tom were injuried before OTAs began

buckeyepackfan (22-May) : Not serious but waiting for strength and conditioning coach referwnces.

buckeyepackfan (22-May) : Tom and Kraft both injured(pectoral muscle),

Zero2Cool (20-May) : I feel similar about person and product/service.

beast (17-May) : Not sure why a players views reflect on GB... instead of simply on the player

Martha Careful (17-May) : I bet some of us have had 6+ mRNA jabs, a UKR flag on our walls, and still think Fauci has a thread of integrity

Zero2Cool (16-May) : From what I've read, it's all Jets , not us.

CanPackFan (16-May) : Will there ever be a time when Rodgers' whacko views will not reflect on GB? He is the past, thank god.

Zero2Cool (13-May) : $170 guaranteed. This might impact Jordan Love

Zero2Cool (13-May) : Lions are signing QB Jared Goff to a four-year, $212 million extension

Zero2Cool (13-May) : I know we moved on. That tidbit just makes me a touch happier.

Zero2Cool (13-May) : Sources spoke of many, many times last summer where Hackett called a play, then Rodgers changed it completely at the line

Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.

beast (10-May) : Meyers pass blocking is really good, his run blocking is really not.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : Packers have claimed DE Spencer Waege off of waivers from the 49ers and waived DT Rodney Mathews.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : And the OL protections seem to be good.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : I really don't know lol. I don't see him getting blown up.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : -3 buwahhhahaaha

Mucky Tundra (9-May) : 4th

Zero2Cool (9-May) : because he's 1st

Mucky Tundra (9-May) : Myers isn't even the 3rd best C on the roster atm

Martha Careful (9-May) : I am not sure I understand the Myers hate. He was consistently our third best lineman. RG and LT were worse.

beast (9-May) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.

beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Context. Sounds like Myers won't be cross-trained. C or bust.
