Let me rephrase my comment. According to the original post here this would be an example of poor attitude. I personally have no issue or don't care. I just find it annoying at the hypocrisy some of the members have here with Rodgers when it comes to his attitude. Some of us would be bashing him if he did that.
Actually.... there is what I would assume is the majority of us that understands that while Rodgers is not perfect, he is better than most QBs in history, and that while we may occasionally criticize something about him.... we recognize how lucky the Packers and their fans have been to have him.
Finley was always a tease, drops and injuries then done. Had some nice stretches. He's no Kelce. WR's were good for Rodgers, they helped Rodgers Rodgers helped them. But none of the were Hunt, no longer there, Hill, Kelce etc. Even Alex smith despite being a short pass thrower was leading an offense that was league leading in long TD's because of those guys.
I think ARod's attitude is just so much better this year. I like it. And I believe we play looser because of it.
He's no Patrick Mahomes? I'm assuming we're referring to talent? What has Mahomes done that Rodgers hasn't done throughout his career? This is what confuses me when people call Mahomes the most talented QB. That title belongs to Rodgers as he's pretty much done everything Mahomes has done and longer. Until Mahomes can show he can do it for just as long, I still say Rodgers is the most talented QB. Mahomes has the makings to outdo Rodgers though. But I feel people are prisoners of the moment in regards to him.
I have never understood this revisionist nostalgia for Finley. He was a good tight end for a very short time. There have been many better ones for a much longer time.
Finley was someone imo who never lived up to his potential. There was a reason he was called Stone Hands. By the time he was actually starting to live up to said potential, he suffered that career ending neck injury. Finely had the makings of being one of the best tight ends in the league, but sadly he never reached his full potential.
That is true ... but NfL history is overflowing with players that had great potential that was never realized for one reason or another. I see nothing wrong with looking back and wishing we could have seen more from Finley, but in the context of looking back at Rodgers’ career and saying something to the effect that he had a great tight end is, in my opinion, overstating things. As you say, Finley was just starting to come into his own and be recognized as a serious threat when his career abruptly ended.
This is why when people use Finley as a credible source in regards to criticizing Rodgers, I roll my eyes for the most part.
I guess this counts as a pep talk right?
Proved u wrong
I was being sarcastic...
