Since the thread asks what the Green Bay Packers can do for Rodgers (rather than what Rodgers can do to be better) I will go with this:

OFFENSE
1) Get a good Center in the draft to create competition there and let the best man win. This also builds depth at the position rather than have to shuffle starters around due to injury.

2) Get a good TE in the draft that can both block and run the seam route. This opens things up for Arod and the WR's.

DEFENSE
1) Draft the best Safety and ILB they can get. Any other D players that are good would be a bonus.

2) Get more three and outs and create better field position so Arod has more chances to do what he does and not have to carry the team on his damn back.

When the Oline is in tune and blocking for Lacy and he's having a good game it helps Rodgers immensely. When the D is creating turnovers and getting the 3 and outs they win.

It's when there's no run game and the D can't make a damn stop on third down that Arod is forced to carry the team on his back. In these times if he doesn't make plays we lose.

Watch the first Q of the playoff game this past year. Too many damn lulls.

I really really .... really*n want to see Rodgers come back in the 4th qtr and win a game by himself.
One of those scenarios where you are losing by 4 with 3 minutes left and he completes 8 of 9 passes for a game winning TD.

I think he has never done that in his life. And I think such an achievement will boost his game a lot.

So what can the Packers do? Easy, just make sure we are losing in the last 3 minutes!

How to make Rodgers better, put me as a CB on every team he faces.

On a serious note. Keep Lacy in the backfield with Rodgers under center. Play action is so much more effective than when in the short gun. Forces the LBers to play closer opening up the field for the WR. Can also get rid of the ball even quicker making slants more difficult to defend, also opening up the slugo.

And the better the run game, the better Rodgers will be.
The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

I'm really not sure what the Packers can do to make Aaron a better quarterback. He is phenomenal. I am however, very curious to see if/how he scrambles this year. He was really timid after coming back from the broken collarbone, and honestly who can blame him for that? But I want to see if he is his same old self when September rolls around. I certainly hope so, because I really didn't like seeing Chicago send the house to take advantage of his fear of leaving the pocket.

...

As for this article: What on earth did it accomplish? Seriously, first it said the Pack NEED to resign at least one of Kuhn, Pickett, and Jolly. I don't see how that is essential, but whatever... we resigned Kuhn, so I guess I can put a check in that box.

Next they dropped this gem, "So, the Packers make Rodgers a better quarterback by improving its defense, special teams and running game. They control the line of scrimmage and they win. Sounds like a simple strategy … and it really is."

Apparently there is something I'm missing here. It's simple, all they have to do is be better in literally all phases! Additionally, succeed in the trenches and you've got it made.
It feels like the author told me that all we have to do to make Aaron better is eliminate any shortcomings and inadequacies of the team, and make sure to play great football.
Right.
I think I'm in the wrong profession... couldn't most of us write articles like this one?
