PhataLerror 370 Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Why can't you just let me agree with you that Rodgers is not that good and be done with it? He only has the one ring and only been to 4 conference championships in 12 years. Because your sarcasm offends me, and you're patently wrong about how weak the Packers' team is.

reesebobby 5,662 Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 So if I said, Alex Smith is only winning here because of the strength of the rest of the roster, you'd disagree, but Rodgers is winning in Green Bay because of the strength of the rest of the roster. Got it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got it. Actually, I've said that many times that Smith wins when his teammates show up. You're the one trying to paint me as a shameless Smith apologist. I've always argued that surrounding talent has held Smith back, and I've never been inconsistent in this: I've said that surrounding talent has held Rodgers back. My issue is with your argument that Rodgers has overcome so much as a matter of degrees. He hasn't. He won the Super Bowl in a year in which his offense performed by catching passes and blocking defenders and in which his defense was uncharacteristically dominant. Smith's never had such a year in which everything came together with the other 52. I am not contradicting myself: Rodgers' team isn't terrible, but it failed to protect him the way a Super Bowl-winning roster would be expected to, and now he's sidelined for the majority of the season. Smith's team isn't terrible, but it's not protecting him the way a Super Bowl-winning roster would be expected to. Smith's escaped injury, but this roster has not consistently demonstrated that it can give the requisite support expected of Super Bowl-winning teams.

Got it. When your QB only produces 3,300 yards and 15 TDs, your overall roster better be finding other ways to get the ball into the end zone or at least provide a short field. Guys like Rodgers make it easier on their overall roster (and thus can better overcome roster weaknesses) with him routinely throwing for 4,000 plus yards, 30 TDs and not many INTs. It's Football 101. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mloe68 1,521 Posted November 20, 2017 Author Share Posted November 20, 2017 157 starts and Aaron Rodgers was never shut out. It only took 5 for Hundley who is now 1-4 as a starter and also chipped in 4 turnovers yesterday. Any more questions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
