Whatever happened to the Aaron Rodgers who used to complete passes to eight, nine, even ten different receivers a game?

Aaron Rodgers is not a top five QB and he probably never really was either. He's had games or stretches of games where he was elite. Packers don't look much different now than they did in 2017 with Brett Hundley.

I have to admit to being annoyed by this "trust" thing. It really comes off as diva behaviour. One would wonder whether even if we spent a top round pick on a WR (like Ridley) whether the guy would be "paying his dues" instead of putting up great stats like he is doing with Atlanta.

There have certainly been stretches -- and at least one entire season -- in which Aaron Rodgers was far and away the best quarterback in the league. But it's also true that he's never managed to put together the kind of sustained on-the-field success that a Peyton Manning or a Tom Brady (or even, as much as it pains me to say it, a Brett Favre) have. Is it entirely his fault? Of course not. He's been fucked over by his offensive line and defense more times than anyone can count, and boneheaded decisions by his head coach have far too often killed this team's chances when the game was on the line.

Justly or unjustly, though, Aaron Rodgers has earned a reputation for being a frontrunning quarterback, and it's a stigma I don't think he's managed to fully overcome, despite a recent spate of come-from-behind and overtime victories. I have no doubt he's always been rather headstrong and a little defiant, perhaps even a little overconfident, and that is part of what made him so great when he was in his prime. But I'm starting to think that some of those very traits could be coming back to haunt the team now that he is no longer quite the physical specimen he used to be.

Maybe it's time for Brian Gutekunst to bring in someone who can help Rodgers reinvent himself the way we've seen other great quarterbacks do in years past. I don't think Mike McCarthy is the man to do it. Problem is, there just aren't enough Sean Paytons to go around. The question is who else might be up to the task?

If Aaron doesn't want to help himself, fuck him. How many times do we see a guy wide the hell open and he misses him, doesn't see him or throws it elsewhere. How he reacted to a rookie who didn't toe tap was absolutely garbage. He's a god damn rookie. You get up close to him, tell him no worries kid, we'll get it next time. You don't act like an arrogant asshole. That's not leadership. That's making the players play tight and not loose.

I haven't been this pissed off at a QB in a long time.

I can't say I entirely disagree in any one particular.

So much over reaction. He’s been playing on one leg all season. There have been some very frustrating moments & games this year as well. Me, as a fan in my living room, was so frustrated this past Sunday with the performance (or lack thereof) from the receivers & kicking game, that I was screaming at the TV and throwing my hat every time something bad happened. I can only imagine what his frustration level was.

I guess nobody saw what he did with Crosby on the sideline?

He makes those kicks, they pull this game out, and everyone's just fine with all the shit suckage. I still think they'll at least contend for post season.

I am not that confident the Packers win if they make those kicks. I'm more confident that the Lions were playing bend don't break and that's why we were even able to get into FG range. The Packers were down 24 at half time and it felt double that the entire game.

Zero2Cool (23h) : It's like listen, you made 4,201 mocks, no shit.
Zero2Cool (23h) : Cuz during the draft "I had them mocked there!" as if it's amazing.
Zero2Cool (23h) : They're fun to do once in awhile. It's people who think they are "content" that annoy me.
dfosterf (23h) : Against tbd
dfosterf (23h) : Answer to your question is yes, it's a Thursday, will be the Chiefs aga
dfosterf (23h) : Luckily for all concerned, I don't post them. I did one, but that was like 25 mocks ago
Zero2Cool (23h) : NFL 2024 gonna start Sept 5th isn't it???
Zero2Cool (23h) : Ugh... kids these days!

dfosterf (27-Mar) : In my city, they are playing the nimby game, in order to keep some railroad tracks vs. 2 professional sports teams and a concert venue.

dfosterf (27-Mar) : That sounds like a Mayor, not a city.

Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Fining them is the goal, per the people who made the rule anyway.
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still waiting on the kickoff rule changes. Did hear yesterday that the touchback proposal will now be the 30 yard line, not the 35
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Probably speed of game issues with your proposal
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Hopefully the refs don't get in the habit of throwing flags on this
beast (25-Mar) : I think when it comes to Challenges should get two strikes, so unlimited challenges as long as they keep winning them, but 2 wrong then done
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still subject to the fines etc
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Yes, I should have been more specific. Also, they are now saying it would be a 15 yard penalty. That makes more sense .
beast (25-Mar) : Simply fined in the week to follow
beast (25-Mar) : I agree with one NFL official, it'll probably be like some of the helmets hits, not really called by the refs on the field but simply fined
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Hip drop is not. Super confusing. Referees job is harder
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Swivel hip drop is banned
dfosterf (25-Mar) : The hip drop enforcement will be in the form of fines, etc. Not flags
dfosterf (25-Mar) : A major foul will be enforced on the offense if there are offsetting penalties in a change of possession situation
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Teams will receive a 3rd challenge if 1 was successful. Previously, it took 2
