You know campbell, given how much you complain about people bashing Favre sure seem willing to do the same for Aaron Rodgers.

Yes, Rodger’s bears some responsibility for the losses. The game in Tampa is a good example. There were other times he missed reads or didn’t play as well as he could have. But he’s only one player and he can’t bear all of the failure. Just as Favre wasn’t totally responsible for the 4-12 season. Had the O-line protected Rodgers so that the Vikings didn’t get two safeties, there is a good chance the game would have turned out differently. The QB is only one person. The Packers were 5th in the league in average points per game. Unfortunately the defense gave up almost as many points on average. The QB can’t sack the opposing QB, they can’t block the other teams pass rushers, and they can’t kick field goals. And those are all areas where the Packers need to improve. Blaming everything on Rodgers (and/or putting the success of 2009 all on Rodgers’ shoulders) is ignoring large parts of the game.

I give up. Your passionate defense of Rodgers was admirable, and I apoogise for venturing an unfounded negative critique of the QB.

Aaron Rodgers is a great signal caller and bears zero responsibility for the 6-10 record.

It was everybody else’s fault.

Other NFL QB’s are held accountable for their team’s record, but I guess as Rodgers plays in Green Bay, he will be exempt from criticism for the rest of his career.

Peace to all.

No one is giving Rodgers a pass, but I think most people acknowledge that there were other factors involved in the 6-10 record than Rodger’s alleged choking. There were two games where he set up a winning field goal and Crosby lost. There were other games where Rodgers led a drive for the lead and the defense gave up a score to the other team. Could Rodgers have played better and does he need to play better this year? Yes. But the defense needs to play, Grant needs to make more big plays and Crosby needs to make the clutch field goals. The QB has a big role in the game, but it is still a team sport.

I watched all the games last year. I saw Aaron Rodgers take hit after hit because th O line couldn’t protect him. He played hurt and he played well. I watched the defense not stop the opposing run, and give up big pass plays. And I saw a special teams that, while they could run onback every once in a blue moon, let the opposing team get way too much field. I saw that Aaron did take the team down and score towards the end of a game. All the defense needed to do was hold for, like, two minutes and they couldn’t do it. What games were you watching?

Yeah, Favre is a bore…so let’s talk about a-rod, not the NYY choker, but our very own choker, Aaron Rodgers.

Every NFL review I’ve seen commend his meaningless 2008 stats, but point out his inability to win close games. Maybe the rest of you are in love with him, but I’m not giving him a pass this season.

Thompson/MMC improved the defense, or so we are constantly told. Rodgers has the luxury that few NFL QB’s have..a brilliant receiving corps. No alibis if the Packers don’t win the division and/or make the playoffs.

Even if Favre is a Viking..he is still a huge question mark. Driver was correct, Chicago has no receivers and who knows re Detroit. The NFL north title is up for grabs and ripe for GB and I’m putting it squarely on Aaron Rodgers to get it done.

I agree with Hallstrom. It was convenient to blame last year’s malaise on Favre.

Rodgers and the Packers have NO excuses this year.

sorry for the off topic post, but Favre is getting boring and I thought this was funny…

I’m not usually one who likes when a player provides bulletin board material for a rival…but in this case I’ll make an exception, since who is going make us pay for it…Rashied Davis?!? I hate the Bears, and can’t wait til Cutler gets frustrated and starts bitching.

GO PACK…57 days til kickoff!
