Yeah Rodgers's game is aging like milk. So much of it was dependent on escaping the pocket and rolling out, plus the ability to disregard mechanics by virtue of sheer arm strength/talent.
Now his legs and arm are starting to go and he's totally ill-prepared for it. Coach is, too, because he gave Rodgers way too much leeway to run the offense as he likes it.
To say nothing about how stupid it is to try to build a high-flying pass offense for a team whose road to a title will run through Green Bay in winter. That "awesome" 2011 team fell apart like a house of cards as soon as they had to play playoff football in sub-optimal conditions.
gesus Labrev, put down the hash pipe, the 2011 team was figured out because about the only thing it had going for it was the passing game, we couldn't run the ball, the defense rapidly declined, same with ST's, the Giants had excellent pass rush, which gave Rodgers little time to throw.
we are not trying to build a high flying passing attack, simply one that compliments the run, gives us the balance we had the last couple years, and Rodgers still has the ability to do that.
people are saying any ol &%$@ that pops in there head, and most of it is no more then regurgitated banter bloggers spout to sell ink.
often one poor situation leads to the development of another, we had two to start with, a weak and inexperienced WR group, and a OL with two very dependable but still mending All pro's that the FO counted on to be ready, but havn't been, these are huge obstacles for any offense to over come.
the run has had success in games because DC's have respect for Rodgers, that now has waned because Rodgers minimal passing success has diminished the fear of him, so they focus more on stopping the run, it's worked, both Jones and Dillons ypc has declined the last two games.
Blaming Rodgers for all the woes, or Lafluer is just taking the focus off the real issue, OL and WR, 23 brought stats showing great play from several OL man, thing is defenses find the weak link and exploit it the way a QB targets a weak defender, so that negates the great play of the others, to fix the run we have to pass, and of course have consistent play from all of the OL, and receivers have to play better, 5 obvious drops, 4 that stalled drives, ya can't have that, 2 years ago we had 7 drops in a PO game, and went home for the winter, one drop from all pro Adams.
Rodgers is our QB, and this FO should have provided him with more talent at WR, and with his contract will be here another year, why wouldn't he be, we can't force him to do anything, why people refuse to accept that, or that he is off stride do to those two issues, versus a deep decline in his ability doesn't make sense to me.
and QB's don't all of a sudden hit a wall, typically it's a gradual decline, when we see Rodgers Hitting Lazard in stride, when we see receivers drop perfectly thrown and catchable passes thats not Rodgers in decline, thats a issue squarely on the receiver.
again the crowd wants to blame the QB instead of where the blame should go, I don't even like Rodgers, lost a lot of respect for him, but our problems are less Rodgers and more about a decline in OL talent and WR.
