How's the Packer decision to go with Rodgers looking now? (1 Viewer)

Lucky for you Vikings fans that Rodgers is really awesome and going to win again tomorrow huh.

the only game he has won in the last 2 months was against the bears

Just a completely hypothetical one game only question.As a Vikings fan...would you feel more comfortable in this cold weather game if Favre were playing instead of Rodgers?

Did you watch the Bears game in Chicago last year? How about the championship game against the NYG? How about the J-E-T-S / Seattle game yesterday?I am not a Viking fan and I get your point.

Favre is a glorified has-been who only made the Pro Bowl on career accomplishments and not based on his play this year. Same way Faneca got voted to the Pro Bowl. This year Rodgers>>>>>>>>>>>>>Favre. Last years GB defense>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>This years GB defense. The defense is to blame for the Packers poor record not Rodgers.

awesome empirical evidence here.

Favre's last 10 games he has thrown for 9 Tds and 13 Ints. He has not thrown for over 300 yds in a game this season. In 6 games he has failed to even throw for 200 yards. These are not Pro Bowl numbers especially when Rivers and Pennington play in the same conference. Favre is spent and has set the Jets back a few years.

UpdateFavre's last 11 games he has thrown for 9 Tds and 15 Ints. He has not thrown for over 300 yds in a game this season. In 7 games he has failed to even throw for 200 yards.Pro Bowl QB

Everytime I come to the SP I can't believe this thread is still being bumped. Anyone who watches Favre play can see that he's done, and it was an absolute joke that he made the Pro Bowl. Packers decision looks fine.

from McCarthy's presser after yesterday's practice...

Asked whether it's nice to not have to think about whether his starting quarterback is coming back next season, McCarthy smiled, waved and said, "Nice to see everybody" before leaving the podium. It was going to be the last question regardless.

And? Your point being?

It was interesting to people who care about the Packers.

How so?

I guess you would have to be a Packer fan and wondered each year if your QB was coming back to truly understand.Greenie and the other Jets fans are starting to figure it out too.

How so? The season isn't over.

Did you listen to mike and mike this morning and Greenberg's clip?Saying if Brett wanted to do all the offseason stuff, he was fine with him coming back...but if he wanted to show up in July, he should probably just stay home.Id say they are realizing the will he or won't he thing is not so fun to go through and its nice knowing already who your QB is the next year.

Seems like the organization is better prepared to handle it's players than the Packers.

LOl....in one instance you want to use Greenie to help prove your arguement and then here you try and diminish what he says.

Ummm...you and your use of the word diminish are hilarious.My question is...how is Greenie showing that the Jets are better prepared than the Packers are/were?He is not in the Jets organization.Im not diminishing what he said...Im saying a fan saying something like that has nothing to do with how well the jets organization is prepared to handled it.And I don't use Greenie to prove my argument. I use him as an example of an opinion of a Jets fan who is starting to understand what Packer fans have gone through the past few years.

By watching whats going on in the NFL. Sorry you disagree. If you have some information to prove that the Packers are more prepared to handle Favre then I'm willing to look at it. I don't recall mentioning a radio show host that happen to be a jets fan. I think that was you.

Packers have Rodgers at qb and got a draft pick for Favre. Jets have who Kellen Clemens and will get no draft pick. I'd say the Packers are more prepared to handle Favre.

Umm...I mentioned the radio show host...which is when you replied that it seems the Jets are better apt to handle it.I don't think the Packers handled it all that well when he wanted to come back after retiring. Prior to that, IMO, they handled his possible retirement pretty well every year. And I have seen nothing from the Jets to know how they might even handle it to even consider what you said.

There are those that think the Packers could have got more for Favre it they had been willing to trade him to other teams. In addition as far as being prepared....the team went from 13-3 to 5-9 so far and have missed veteran leadership. That doesn't seem very prepared to me.

Guess what....it is more than just the defense. The coaching, playcalling, the GM, the offense and the play of the QB are the cause of the 5-9 season. It is ok to admit that Aaron Rodgers is ONE of the reasons the team is 5-9.

1st yr starter at qb, Rodgers has played pretty good. I'd say even beyond best expectations.

Really....Rodgers was just on ESPN. He stated he wasn't consistant in enough games and it has been a disappointing season for him because QBs are judged on wins and losses.Give us on break too on the beyond best expecations. He has played well at times but he has held the ball too long in the pocket, he has too many route miscommunications with receivers, had some key redzone mistakes and he has yet to lead the Packers to a win in crunch time. I am hopeful that Rodgers is the answer but some of you do too much to sugar coat this season.

Again, what do you expect him to say? The team has had a bad year, it would not be in good form for him to say that he is happy with the way that his year has went. You are being pretty naive with this. Dude was thrown into an impossible situation and played pretty well. In the end the Pack got a pick and a better qb THIS year and don't have to deal with the theatrics this off season. I'm not sure what some of you guys are thinking.

 

[Stinger Ray]

I am thinking that 5-9 is an EXTREMELY disappointing season after 13-3 and almost all the players returning. I can't figure out why some of you seem to have no problem with 5-9 and are so quick to defend Rodgers. Rodgers has played well at times. He does look like he could be a very good QB. However, there are several things he did this year that he needs to improve on including showing he can win a game in crunch time.

What will it take for some of you TT supporters to start to question the results he has produced as a GM including a losing record in 4 seasons and only one playoff appearance.

This isn't just about Favre not being there. I think the Packers would be better than 5-9 at this point. How can any Packer fan sit here and not question TT at this point in his tenure in GB? If you think the defense is the only reason the team is 5-9 this year than you are missing other reasons including decisions that TT has made.

This thread isn't about Thompson, it as about Rodgers. Now, am I dissappointed in Thompson, sure am. But not for the way he handled the saga that has become Brett Favre. He did that about as well as could be expected. He made the right move. He shouldn't have dealt Corey Williams. Harrell is a bust. AJ Hawk is average. He should have stayed put in the draft and took Dustin Keller. I would have really liked for him to have acquired Tony Gonzalez. The offensive line is deep, but the depth and starters just aren't getting it done. He should have brought in a capable backup to Rodgers. If he was going to trade out of the first round anyway, why not give up that pick for Jared Allen? Thompson has a lot to answer for. I've been patient with his philosophy but it is concerning how few of his many draft picks have actually panned out. He's drafted only two impact players in 4 years. Jennings and (arguably) Collins. He's brought in few free agents, although Chillar has been solid, Woodson is a stud, and Pickett is very good. But yeah, I think he needs to improve. Should he be on the hot seat? I don't think so. This season will be nothing more than a blip if he can get that defense to come around.

Very

Most have admitted that Rodgers is part of it.IMO, they were prepared without him. I don't think they were prepared for the rest of it with the defense and other things.They thought they had enough on the line and in Ryan Grant and in the defense to not make Rodgers have to do too much.They were wrong in much of that...and when it was up to rodgers at the end of games, he and the offense has come up short.

Beyond most people's expectations.And Im glad Rodgers talks like that. He is a player that gets it and knows how to handle himself.

I think some of you are too hung up on who was the QB before to give Rodgers a real honest look and realize that he may have been doing better than you have admitted.

I can't figure out why you think anyone has no problem with 5-9?Has anyone come even close to saying they are happy with that?We are quick to defense Rodgers from some ridiculous criticism by some on this board. Its about the same 4-5 people who keep hammering the guy.Sure, there are things he needs to do to improve. One of those crunch time wins would be nice...but can one of you who keep hammering Rodgers admit that he needs help in that sometimes too? Like a late defensive stop.What will it take for some of you to realize this decision appears to be the right one?

This isn't just about Favre not being there. I think the Packers would be better than 5-9 at this point. How can any Packer fan sit here and not question TT at this point in his tenure in GB? If you think the defense is the only reason the team is 5-9 this year than you are missing other reasons including decisions that TT has made.

What is the name of this thread?It is about Favre vs. Rodgers.Start your own thread to discuss TT and what he has and has not done.

I am thinking that 5-9 is an EXTREMELY disappointing season after 13-3 and almost all the players returning. I can't figure out why some of you seem to have no problem with 5-9 and are so quick to defend Rodgers. Rodgers has played well at times. He does look like he could be a very good QB. However, there are several things he did this year that he needs to improve on including showing he can win a game in crunch time.

This thread isn't about Thompson, it as about Rodgers. Now, am I dissappointed in Thompson, sure am. But not for the way he handled the saga that has become Brett Favre. He did that about as well as could be expected. He made the right move. Should he be on the hot seat? I don't think so.

If the Packers struggle next season do you think he should be back for 2010?

Depends on how it goes down.He may get another year and McCarthy may be gone before TT. I think he is more tied to how Rodgers does at this point.

If he doesn't show some turn around from this year to next year the seat will be hotter, but TT will still be there in 2010. Packers will not make a knee jerk reaction. Team out performed it self last year and this year under performed a little. I was hoping for 9 wins this year as a Packer fan. Tougher schedule and surely some injuries were going to happen as last year team was unscathed. Faver RETIRING was going to lead the offense to have some issues during the season as they got use to a new QB.Maybe if you were thinking that the team was going to go back to back 13-3, you need to look a little deeper into the team and not just have wishful thinking.

I can easily find the post you made after the Packers were 2-0 and you were much more positive than 9 wins!

What makes you think the organization is better prepared than the Packers are? Because of the comments of a fan who happens to host a radio show?

By watching whats going on in the NFL. Sorry you disagree. If you have some information to prove that the Packers are more prepared to handle Favre then I'm willing to look at it. I don't recall mentioning a radio show host that happen to be a jets fan. I think that was you.

Packers have Rodgers at qb and got a draft pick for Favre. Jets have who Kellen Clemens and will get no draft pick. I'd say the Packers are more prepared to handle Favre.

How's that have anything to do with handling Favre? Your talking about a trade not handling the player and how he behaves on your team.

Umm...I mentioned the radio show host...which is when you replied that it seems the Jets are better apt to handle it.I don't think the Packers handled it all that well when he wanted to come back after retiring. Prior to that, IMO, they handled his possible retirement pretty well every year. And I have seen nothing from the Jets to know how they might even handle it to even consider what you said.

Your correct and I said nothing about the guy. Correct. I think they could have handled all the retirement junk better every year. So far the Jets have done very good with it.

There are those that think the Packers could have got more for Favre it they had been willing to trade him to other teams. In addition as far as being prepared....the team went from 13-3 to 5-9 so far and have missed veteran leadership. That doesn't seem very prepared to me.

Keep holding on.

I will. I am not happy about 5-9.

Then start a thread on how the Packers defense has caused your 5-9 season.

The defense is part of the equation but the offense has dropped in almost every category also. Some even say coaching has had an effect. The blame goes on the entire team and the lack of leadership it's missing.

Guess what....it is more than just the defense. The coaching, playcalling, the GM, the offense and the play of the QB are the cause of the 5-9 season. It is ok to admit that Aaron Rodgers is ONE of the reasons the team is 5-9.

1st yr starter at qb, Rodgers has played pretty good. I'd say even beyond best expectations.

Really....Rodgers was just on ESPN. He stated he wasn't consistant in enough games and it has been a disappointing season for him because QBs are judged on wins and losses.Give us on break too on the beyond best expecations. He has played well at times but he has held the ball too long in the pocket, he has too many route miscommunications with receivers, had some key redzone mistakes and he has yet to lead the Packers to a win in crunch time. I am hopeful that Rodgers is the answer but some of you do too much to sugar coat this season.

I like how Rodgers mans up. He'll be good down the road.

If Rodgers does not come up with a game winning drive here... who is going to blame the defense here? They have given up 10 points when the Bears had "normal" field position. They also have a couple of INT's to boot.

The defense sucks, huh?

His numbers in crunch time of close games that they showed are pretty atrocious. And this one is practically a gimme, thanks to a good kickoff return and a stupid penalty by the Bears.

Had some very conservative play calling there. Stupid coaching in my mind.

Somehow... that is some kind of poetic justice. Stupid play calling!!!!

Exactly. Just proved my point that the Jets have handled it better.
