Packers' play-calling change could give Aaron Rodgers even more control

This goes to my theory that Clements is Aaron Rodgers' yes-man. More stat whoring, coming right up.

McCarthy actually gave him those duties in the 2011 regular-season finale against the Detroit Lions as a way to keep him involved even though Rodgers was held out of the game to rest for the playoffs. In that game, backup Matt Flynn threw for 480 yards and six touchdowns -- both team records at the time.

I LOVE the whole "stat whore" stuff.
I mean, would you rather Rodgers DID'NT throw for over 4000 yards and over 35 touchdowns every year?
What do you think the chances of the Packers winning much if he didn't do so?

I guess we could always let a lousy QB start every game, and lose all of them just so there would be no "stat whoring" going on.👍

I just think we should run a more high percentage passing game, to move the ball more consistently down the field.

Then again, if they can do the big plays without psychologically imploding, that would be a big step up. Remains to be seen, though.

The change could also give Rodgers less control. QBs are typically given more credit for what they are able to do at the line. Rodgers and QB in general are not just able to call any play they want, even in audible. the game plan has specific plays available in audible.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

The whole line of "stat whoring" bullshit is totally idiotic. It is the ranting of INGRATES who fail to comprehend how success has happened for the Packers over the past couple of decades.

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : *had to be IRed at 53

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : beast, I thought the designate return from IR players had to be IR at cutdowns to 53, not before

beast (8-Aug) : It's a brand new rule, either last season or this season, prior, all pre-season IRs were done for the season

beast (8-Aug) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : and because it's not a dynasty league (which makes a lot more sense to be ability to trade picks)

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Oh I know; I was just exploring and it blew my mind that you could trade picks because of the whole reordering thing
