[QUOTE="OldSchool101, post: 877712, member: 10086"] Not to mention that the Super Duper 700 yard exception as a rookie everyone’s sad about? He’s taking 400+ yards away from whoever he replaced. Very likely more with the current group. Unless someone wants to wager with me Funchess is a 250 yard guy? Also, its not like we don’t have a QB who is 35 and has either missed or played large portions of a season injured lately. If any other position was injured as much as Rodgers lately and was winding down there would’ve been a mob of mutiny in here. They would’ve already been gone. Heck we put players to pasture with just a mere contemplation that they might not be ascending. Let’s quit pretending Rodgers won’t ever miss time, we’re still living in the Brett Favre fantasy world here. He’s not a Brett Favre durability and if we think he’s going to get more durable when he’s 38, 39 etc.. we are deceiving ourselves. If he can prove me wrong fir the next 2 seasons? Great! I love Aaron Jones but there’s something to be said about a 250lb guy who can pick up that tough yard when everyone knows you’re running and there’s 8 in the box. We didn’t have that in Williams either. Defenses can’t stop an upper echelon 250 pound guy running full tilt with 4.5’s speed unless they totally dominate the LOS. There’s maybe 2 defenses per year that fall into that category.
