It sucks when we see these screenshots after big losses where there is a wide open WR on a key play that goes poorly (2007 NFCCG Favre OT INT comes to mind), but how many of these "missed plays" with "wide open WRs" can be reasonably expected to have been performed better in the moment, given our gameplans at the time and the relative risks of not going with earlier reads?
It also sucks to see an all-time great player's skill erode. It's sad to see him blame everyone around him and not take any accountability. It's also sad to see his and see his ardent fans oblivious to what should be obvious. The same folks who have been saying for years that AR makes everyone around him better now say he is surrounded by a lack of talent.
blah blah blah
Rodgers ardent supporters know he isn't the player he was 5 years ago, We also know that he was able to put balls where only Devonte Adams could catch them just a year ago, We also know the alternative to Rodgers is on the bench because thats where he belongs
Rodgers for years was able to maximize the potential of the receiver talent given him, why did the FO think that would last forever? at some point they had to know it was time to reverse this process and Rodgers would need the receivers to support him more, but every game this year we see twice the dropped passes, twice the mental mistakes.
Why is it people expect a 1st ballot HOF QB who has been the face of this franchise for so long, and is known to be a self centered diva to admit he's fallible? typically these types never do that, it's a crack to the armor that shields them, behind closed doors, to team mates, to the coaches he may admit he also needs to play better, but he wont admit that to the media or the fans.
Favre never did it either, neither did Montana, or Young, or Brady, etc etc. the Captain of a sinking battleship goes down never having admitted defeat, why do we expect Rodgers to?
was he right to chastise team mates in public? obviously whats been said in the locker room hasn't worked, so we'll see if Rodgers calling them out openly does, what ever it takes to do better is fine with me.
