From Lambeau to Lombardi, Holmgren, McCarthy and LaFleur and from Starr to Favre, Rodgers and now Jordan Love we’re talking Super Bowl Champion Green Bay Packers football. This Packers Forum is the place to talk NFL football and everything Packers. So, pull up a keyboard, make yourself at home and let’s talk some Packers football.
I expected Stokes to start against NO, and he should have, so obvious in TC that he was better edge corner, I expect what we saw from him Sunday will be normal, so I can't switch my vote to him over Aaron, yes he does produce a 100 + yrds a lot, but he's the only RB to catch 3 passes for TD's in 40 years, and he carried this team to victory Sunday
I am still having trouble counting the lateral in the backfield as a true TD pass.
I do understand that Stokes had a good game, but Aaron Jones definitely exceeded any expectations too.
Palmy - "Very few have the ability to truly excel regardless of system. For many the system is the difference between being just a guy or an NFL starter. Fact is, everyone is talented at this level."

As for his statline, yes. But I re-watched the highlights, and Jones was schemed so open, and the blocking he got was so good, that on his 4 TDs, he had to break a total of one tackle. A weak one by a DB with a bad angle on the goal line. If I could, I'd rather vote for LaFleur or everyone involved with blocking for Jones in the red zone...
It's kinda the RB equivalent of a QB completing only short, easy passes, but receivers making tacklers miss like crazy for chunks of YaC and TDs, leading to a fantastic QB statline... I wouldn't give the QB all the credit for that.
Before I get murderered: I do think Jones had a good game. I just think Stokes' tough 1-1 wins were more positively surprising to me.
