The whole bit about unnecessaarily pressuring Rodgers by picking Brohm is the part that riles me every time I hear it. Makes me think of the Alec Baldwin monolgue to open Glengarry Glen Ross “You think this is abuse? You can’t take this, how can you take the abuse you get on a sit?” Playing QB is all about handling pressure, you can’t handle Brian Brohm standing behind you, how can you handle 3 and 6 in Chicago?

I don’t think you’re being very fair here to Mr. Carrucci. You criticize his analysis because it lacks certain inside information that only a blogger blogging from his mom’s basement could possibly have. Only a blogger blogging from his mom’s basement has the time to read and research subjects upon which they wish to comment. Mr. Carrucci, as an esteemed member of the mainstream sports media, does not have such luxury of time. He is writing on a deadline and has to jump to certain conclusions based on the information available to him at the time, such as what he just heard on ESPN. This is better known as journalism (look it up on wikipedia), and it is this that separates the journalists from the bloggers blogging from their mom’s basement.
