OK, no offense to anybody, but Bullshit on this eval. Anytime I see a still pic used as evidence in a football game, I want to bitch slap somebody.

Wowza! Wish were you here when Favre was being flogged by similar still frames in the NFCCG. I still think that was simply an unfortunate occurance of another pro making a great play rather than a bonehead decision by a QB.

Rodgers is good. He's probably top five ... among young QBs, but he still has a lot to learn before he's better than a lot of vets. I think it's time for the kid gloves to come off, and no, I don't think daggers in both hands should replace the gloves. Being a 5th year QB, I expect to see improvement in decision making. Remembering check-downs, especially when behind, would be a step in the right direction. Rodgers has a talented, deep, and somewhat costly receiving corp. One of Rodgers' problems is that he gets into a mindset where he looks for the big, wide-open strike to his talented WRs. I haven't seen him throwing into a lot of tight spots since his fantastic TD last year. Time to start using that big, accurate arm. No guts, no glory, yada yada yada...

Regarding those who say, if we get Rodgers an O-line he'll be great, I have to disagree or at least approach this cautiously. Good O-lines cost money. We've spent that money on QB, receivers, and some defense. If we secure the money for a better O-line, another area of the team will have to be trimmed. A veteran QB can hide a lot of flaws in a bad O-line. Let's hope we get a little of both: commitment to building a solid, two-deep O-line, and a QB that shows veteran savvy. That's when Rodgers, and more imporatantly the Packers, will be great.

I'm not going to continue what I was saying.

I think the guy did a good job and his point is clear. Which is Rodgers held the ball too long a few times and he could have gotten rid of the ball sooner. I disagree with his examples, but firmly agree with his point.

Rodgers should of dumped it off on the fumble. No question about it as they pointed that out on the broadcast, but that's still not to say he had a lot of time to throw the ball. He didn't.

The safety is a different story. The Packers are down so they'll be calling more plays down the field. That's what Rodgers was doing. He was looking down the field. It was also 3rd down. That play isn't going to get you a first down. Not at all. Rodgers was looking for the 1st down like coaches teach quarterbacks to do. I watched that play too. He had 3.5 seconds before the pressure got to him. Then he was flushed out of the pocket, pumped and was sacked.

It's better to take a sack then throw an INT in that situation. Rodgers can't be thinking, I better not take a safety, he's got to be thinking, I better get the first down. If the Packer were winning, the right play is to dump it off.

As far as Favre. That comparison is not fair. Favre is one of the best EVER at getting the ball out fast. That's not to say Favre would be better behind this line because there have been times when Rodgers' mobility have allowed him to escape a sack and attempt to make something happen. Favre cannot do that anymore.

As pointed out as well, Favre had it much easier. Minnesota was rushing four and getting pressure. GB was basically letting Favre beat them. The Vikings gameplanned to stop the Packers' passing game. The Packers did the opposite. They dared Favre to beat them and he did. They wanted to shut down Adrian Peterson.

To expand further it's apples and oranges. Two different players. Watch Tom Brady play, he doesn't get rid of the ball as fast as Favre. Nobody compares them because they're different QBs. Every QB does something different. As far as Rodgers having to improve. Well of course he does. He's only going to be 25 I think. It's his second year as a starter. He needs to improve in a lot of areas and to state otherwise would be ridiculous.

That's not state that he's not good. Rodgers is playing at a Pro Bowl level right now.

However, to state that he's part or half of the problem right like some are doing now with him is even more wrong. It's so absurd that it's becoming my pet peeve. The offensive line and specifically the guards playing tackle is the problem right now and not Aaron Rodgers.

He's just playing his game. He's going to keep the play alive as long as he can. It's not nitpicking pointing out that Rodgers needs to do this better, it is nitpicking when people think he's part of the problem right now or if he could just get rid of the ball faster, GB would be much better. That's just the wrong idea.

True dat.

As far as I'm concerned, Aaron is a Pro Bowl candidate. Probably runner-up considering how a few other QBs in this Conference are playing.

If our OL was half as talented as Aaron, we wouldn't have this discussion right now.

Our OL is so bad and Aaron is so talented, that with an AVERAGE OL, our O would be kicking butt.

It's the OL who gets the fail, not Aaron.

If we're 3 - 1 ... I don't think we talk about Aaron at all other than positive. When you lose games you feel you could have and should have won, you start looking for things that could be improved.

Zero - True. However, the OL needs to be improved the most.

Look at the current poll results. I've never seen a landslide poll like this before.

Well all I'll say is if holding on to the ball to long is his only problem I can live with that At least to that's more teachable then bad accuracy or other more fundamental problems

LOL You remember that movie Nessesary Roughness? I just remembered that backup qb who runs behind the refs. Maybe Aaron should try it

If Rodgers starts throwing the ball away fast enough to avoid these sacks. Here is what I expect to see. Watch from 1:50 point
