I do have to say however I am suprised the offense has fallen off as much as it has.
On paper our Oline is better.
On paper Aaron Jones is healthier.
MVS was out most of the season last year anyways.
I definitely expected a step back. But I am shocked to see our team go from MVP to this when the only real material change on the unit is Adams being gone and Jenkins and Tonyan being back.
as I said, the problem started years ago, just think about this as if it where any job, try and keep it as simple as I do instead of complicating it as you often do.
people/players react to losing key people/players by becoming closer to the ones left behind, and naturally depending on them more then those who replaced the departed familiar ones, thats just how this stuff works.
Adams had become that guy with Rodgers when Nelson, Cobb declined, and the players guty tried to replace them with where raw, very raw, the 3 stooges are all gone, sure blame Rodgers, but what he did is human nature, it's why I've said Rodgers requires better talent to spread the ball around, not a bunch of raw recruits to train to be NFL caliber receivers, one or two mixed in with Adams and a younger Nelson or healthy Cobb would be OK, but not 3 or 4 mixed in with Adams, thats a over load of trainee's, who would you be throwing the ball to? thats a valid question, of course you'd favor Adams, specially so since the rest of the bunch tend to screw up the catch, the route or something else.
whats on paper often does not transpire to the actual event.
It's been beyond obvious to me that we needed to start rebuilding the WR group 5 or 6 years ago, the way Ted built it years ago with the 2nd round picks, guys talented enough that it doesn't take years for them to be ready, we've asked Rodgers to make do with to many jag receivers, and wonder why he has declined.
In life you become who you associate with, why do people think it's different in team sports, eventually you become tired of lifting up your co workers, covering for there mistakes, same thing I'am sure has passed through Rodgers mind.
