Message: <blockquote data-quote="HardRightEdge" data-source="post: 723617">How do you assess that a personal situation is the cause of what you perceive as under-performance and not some other factor?  I get that armchair psychoanalysis is a popular pastime, but you simply don't know.Everybody has personal issues and distractions, with "mo' money, mo' problems" not the least of which with these guys.Some guys might let a personal situation get in their heads; others find refuge and focus in the game.  You don't know.Of course, many speculated that Munn was in Rodgers head, messing with his game early last season.Of course, the real issue might have been that his other "best friend" Jordy Nelson looked loggy and was dropping balls coming off the ACL, while the other guys were not exactly picking up the slack with sharp route running.  Kinda interesting that as Nelson gained confidence, shook of the rust and picked up his speed things started clicking.It's also interesting that even before Nelson found his sea legs, starting the second half of the Dallas game, Rodgers was sharp as a tack in the short pass/timing pass game, particularly with his new favorite toy in Montgomery.Bottom line:  Nelson is the straw that stirs the receiver crew's drink in the downfield passing game.  Everything pivots off him and the attention paid to him.  Oliva Munn does not run routes or catch back shoulders or find the open space on a post pattern.</blockquote>
