I have no problem with the Rodgers votes, but in the spirit of this competition, there is supposed to be a heavy lean given to those who played above our expectations.
Since the moment the schedule came out, I feel like this is the exact version of Aaron Rodgers in Minnesota that we expected.

But PFF gave him a grade of like 96. This was the 2nd highest PFF grade in Aaron Rodgers's career.
Like. We won't see that performance likely again.

You didn’t let me finish...
Rodgers literally didn’t make a mistake...

My expectations were not this high for this point in the season (especially with no preseason games).NCF wrote: ↑16 Sep 2020 07:40I have no problem with the Rodgers votes, but in the spirit of this competition, there is supposed to be a heavy lean given to those who played above our expectations.

As much as I want Jaire to win this for my own self interest, he wasnt good in the 2nd half, he was actually bad.
Davante was really really good, but dropped a TD.
This was a really really really good game for Aaron, even by his standards, even compared to like his 2009-2014. This is phenomenal for him when looking at 2016-2019.

hell if Rodgers doesn't win the contest this week, then maybe he will next week when he throws 5 TD's with a better QBR then this weeks 154 mark.
He shouldn't because that is exactly what I will be expecting him to do. At this point, a God-like game from Rodgers shocks me very, very little.

Well to be fair. The deep ball to MVS on the TD was slightly underthrown by about a half a step.BF004 wrote: ↑16 Sep 2020 07:51You didn’t let me finish...

But seriously that was also a great catch and finish by MVS.
maybe a little, but I expected this, well prior to the game I predicted a 43-13 score, this is the offense imo that Rodgers has wanted for awhile nowTheGreenMan wrote: ↑16 Sep 2020 11:00You mean you weren't just a little surprised last week?
no one seems to believe me but Rodgers has wanted offensive changes for a few years, heck about 5 yeears ago some of us wanted to see Rodgers in a scheme NE was using with Brady, people act as though Rodgers isn't capable or desires a up tempo on schedule scheme, however he thrives in it and always has, our problems seemed to me that we only had a small set of plays devoted to those shorter pass schemes all the years with Mike
I think it's natural for anyone including football players to want to stick with stuff they know, and change rocks that boat, so naturally transition is a slow process, but we saw this coming last year, slow but steady improvement, and the shorter the pass routes, the quicker the pass is, and less ability to adjust to a errant throw, so obviously timing is a critical factor, isn't that what we saw last year quite often, Rodgers can't pull the trigger unless he knows where to throw the ball, so now we come to Sunday against the vikes, we saw him hit receivers in stride because they where at the pitch point on schedule, and Rodgers made it look easy, not so much because Rodgers was so so so much better ( I contend he was always capable of just what we saw) but the timing had vastly improved between him and the people he was throwing to.
hey thats just my opinion on this
I mean, I'd prefer for a total underdog to win, but the next best thing is vets surpassing their expectations. And no one picked a really viable underdog option. Some weeks just turn out like this.NCF wrote: ↑16 Sep 2020 07:40I have no problem with the Rodgers votes, but in the spirit of this competition, there is supposed to be a heavy lean given to those who played above our expectations.

Since expectations are subjective (also quality of weekly competition for votes), results will vary. For me personally, AR usually needs to shatter a record to get my vote. This week Adams made separation look so easy, and had the best receiving tally in the league, tied a Packers record -> gets my vote over AR, even tho Rodgers was the more valuable player.
