He had a bad day, let's not use it do define him, or even the game. He still made plays, and he still got it done in the end. He's gotta get better though. Under throw, over throw, too wide. Just off today. I can overlook 2,3 a game. He's human and that will happen, but he can still make the throws the other can not and he's better than most, even on a bad day.

Rodgers may need to adjust his game. His accuracy just isnt there anymore. That broken collarbone is having an impact.

Rodgers whatever happens spend time in the off season working on your throws. Also Gute draft some new WRs.

I agree.

Aaron's accuracy just isn't the same as it used to be....

Obviously we tend to compare "prime" Aaron Rodgers to where he is now... but that was ALWAYS Aaron Rodgers "strength", his ACCURACY!

It's no longer superhuman or as consistent as it once was

I agree with this 100%. It seems like something changed after the collarbone. I think with that said, it may be more important than ever that he work on footing and throwing from a good base. That will help if he has lost the accuracy to throw on the run or just in general. I hope we can get some new WRs for next year. We should have some cap space and could find something in the draft as well.

This is why I never bought into all that talk about Rodgers being the GOAT. It's one thing to play so out of your head when you're a young guy, but when you get to the latter part of your career play usually falls off. That said, obviously Rodgers is a great QB and we are lucky to have him.

He may not put up gaudy stats anymore, but he has the skill, experience, and composure to engineer a game winning drive like we saw today. Shouldn't have come down to that against a losing team playing their backup quarterback though.

Tom Brady is the GOAT, having BB as Head Coach or not, it doesn't matter. Anyone who says otherwise is a moron.

After watching the past month or so and AR turned 36.. I hope I'm wrong but I don't think he will play until he's 40

He has looked REALLY, REALLY, REALLY bad this past month

I mean I hope I'm wrong, but he's looked HORRIBLE and he's not getting younger.

I don't see more than 2 years left of him being effective.

 

[Southside]

Rogers overthrew receivers 16 times today tying the NFL record. And hey, give the guy a break. He's in love and just paid cash for a 28 million dollar home on the ocean in California. He's under a lot of pressure. Football is secondary.

 

[Packer Fan in SD]

Wtf does buying a home have to do with performance?

 

[PackinMSP]

Good for him in buying a nice house in Malibu, but AR has been REALLY bad since he turned 36 earlier this month

Not sure where his head is at

 

[Pokerbrat2000]

What say u about rodgers 1st half?

I would say from Roster spot #1- 47, to a man, the entire team played that first half like it didn't matter if they lost. Including Rodgers.

While the second half was better, it was still uninspiring given the importance of the win. Then again, they got the win and I look around the league and see teams like the Patriots lay an egg at home under a similar circumstance of what the win meant.

"Wtf does buying a home have to do with performance?"

You must be some dumb kid that has never bought a house. Buying a house is very time consuming. It is a lot of work. Tons of papers to sign. Meetings with Lawyers. Hard to keep your head in the game with all that going on. I've bought and sold a number of homes. Can't imagine what it takes to close a 28 million dollar sale. It's a no brainer if you happen to have one.

 

[Pokerbrat2000]

Can't imagine what it takes to close a 28 million dollar sale.

Sadly, not something many of us will experience, but I would say it would take at least $10 Million in the bank and an income deemed sufficient enough to pay the mortgage. Or if you are #12, just crack open your wallet and pay cash.

 

[PackinMSP]

Congrats to Aaron and Danica definitely, but you have to question the timing of this

Although end of year is usually when big purchases are made

Aaron Rodgers: Game manager.

That hurts my head to think that, but right now that's what gives us the best chance to go all the way.

Most of it would have happened weeks before. No house gets closed in one week and he had loads of lawyers to take care of stuff.

Fans were blaming Olivia Munn couple of years before. His brother was in the blame chart sometime ago too.

And you don't get to be top sportsman for many years if you let this **** affect your game. AR is too professional for this.

Only if he’s willing to adjust his game accordingly.

Fans sometimes forget players are people too, not machines you pay to play.

oh, don't kid yourself, he's not just a game manager. Way too smart and still too talented. Even in one of his worst games in terms of accuracy he STILL made a couple plays and throws game managers wet their pants thinking about doing.

 

[shockerx]

His clavicle is messed up, he playing scared...or not to get hurt, he learning a new system, his WR and TE are below average. its the sum of all things. I actually think he will overcome most of it by next season...and Gute getting some work done.

 

[AKCheese]

He’s been missing a LOT of throws for years now. He’s at his best when he throws in rythm. When he tries to make things happen now... he mostly DOESNT. The home run attempt puts us at 2nd and 10 or 3rd and long way too often. Sorry but this ooing and ahhhing about some of the throws he made today is pretty much HOMER infatuation.... any top 16 QB makes those throws. At lot of his bad misses? Top 10 QBs do NOT make. And the long pass attempts out of bounds that never ever had a chance are just wasted plays. If Green Bay is going to make a legit run in these playoffs Rodgers needs to play like a top 6-8 QB which he has not in a long long time. It’s a team game, he needs to start doing his part.

 

[Mondio]

who's oooo'ing and ahhh'ing about his game today? He wasn't good, but calling him a game manager is just as ridiculous. I didn't see the wasted passes out of bounds, must have been first half? His accuracy was off today. But Kirk Cousins doesn't make that screen pass to Jones today, or that strike to Lazard for the TD.

He did have a lot of poor passes today, nobody is going to deny that and he does have to be better.

 

[gbgary]

Only if he’s willing to adjust his game accordingly.

like he did for most of the time Adams was out, like he did 2nd half of last week, like he did in most of the 2nd half today. yup "willing" is the key word. at some point MLF will have to insist on it.
