[QUOTE="Thirteen Below, post: 1036278, member: 18006"] You nailed the way I see it. This is the ten-thousandth iteration of the same debate Packer fans have been having since the George W. Bush presidency - we lose a playoff game we had damned good reason for believing we should have won, and half the fans blame the quarterback for losing the game while the other half blames the team as a whole for losing. And both sides are half right, and half wrong. I don't really hold Rodgers accountable for [I]losing [/I]those playoff games, because as you say - team game, team effort, team win or loss. A couple of the games (like the NCFCG against the Niners in 22), he just plain choked. Her did lose that game; he blew numerous drives by insisting on forcing the ball to Adams, who was repeatedly either doubled or tripled because the Niners knew where was throwing on every key play. In the end, he [I]did [/I]lose the game by ignoring a wide-open Lazard and throwing to a double-covbered Adams, an that's the one we remember the most, but he killed many other drives prior to that because he simply choked. But there were several other games in which even if he did not singlehandedly blow it, he had opportunities to [I]win [/I]it, and he just fell short when the team needed him to step up. I'm not necessarily blaming him for [I]losing [/I]those games, but I am holding him accountable for not [I]winning [/I]them. Because that's what he was paid to to do - win games that other quarterbacks might not have been able to win. I haven't checked the numbers this year, but as of last season Aaron Rodgers was the highest paid player in the history of the NFL. He got those contracts on the grounds that he was supposedly the best quarterback in the league, a guy the team could count to win games that other QBs would not have been able to win. And time and time again, when his team needed him to step up and win those games, he was unable to do it. He failed to deliver on a number of occasions, when lesser quarterbacks on lesser teams stepped up for their team and found a way to win that game. He got paid because he was supposedly a guy we could count on to put the team on his shoulders and win tough games, and aside from the 2009-2010 playoff run, he couldn't do it. [/QUOTE]
