I love to see Kevin quoting himself. He and Foster-Dave may be the only two people on this site who are more egotistical than I am.

I would definitely tag it, plus she has been reduced to "our league".

That is an excellent talking point for both of us... You can tell St. Peter, I can tell Lucifer--- "Ya, I was on it".

So Rodgers isn't that good?

Thompson and McCarthy have just been padding his stats to make themselves look better?

Those sons-a-bitches... must have had to pay opposing defenses a fortune to allow all those yards and touchdowns - just to protect their phony-baloney jobs.

Devious pricks... they even forced Ryan Grant into not running well - so that the team would be in more third-and-long situations.

Damn... they fooled us all. We must be stupid.

Here's another comment in a very similar vein, this time from PFT:

Green Bay's offense is nothing like it was when Favre was here. It has morphed into a pass first offense where the run is an afterthought. It is more spread offense then west coast. It started in 2008 when MM and TTs goals were to pad AR's stats to try to justify getting rid of Favre and morphed into the offense it is today. Night and day from 2007. If Favre played in this current GB offense, there is no doubt he could get 5000 yards. Heck, he got as many yards and more TD (and wins) than Rodgers playing in an offense with no-name WRs who he never played with before. There is no doubt that even at 41, Favre is the better QB.

And here's a response demolishing the argument:

You are as clueless as you are wrong.

The Rodgers-led Packers are a pass first offense? That's funny. Check out the actual data.

2003 - 507 rushes, 473 passes - 48.3% pass plays
2004 - 441 rushes, 598 passes - 57.6% pass plays
2005 - 398 rushes, 626 passes - 61.1% pass plays
2006 - 431 rushes, 630 passes - 59.4% pass plays
2007 - 388 rushes, 578 passes - 59.8% pass plays
2008 - 437 rushes, 541 passes - 55.3% pass plays
2009 - 438 rushes, 553 passes - 55.8% pass plays

As a percentage, the Packers have run the ball more in both of Rodgers' first two seasons than they did with Favre in the previous 4 seasons. And I'd argue that the only reason Sherman ran the ball as much as he did in 2003 is because they had three RBs averaging over 5.0 yards per carry on the ground.

So the Packers are actually passing LESS now than they did in Favre's last several seasons. And Rodgers is still getting MORE passing yards, a much better TD to INT ratio and a much higher passer rating than Favre did.

How's the crow, idiot?

Yep, it was one huge conspiracy to make themselves look good while simultaneously ignoring the goal of WINNING.

In my mind's eye, I just bit this writer's nose off and spit it in his face.

<edit> Maybe it just seems like Rodgers passes more because his throws are so goddamn PRETTY.
