I think Packer fans are going to be reminded as to just how great of a game manager at the LOS Aaron Rodgers is. I hope I am wrong, but its going to be night and day out there between the 2 QB's.
While I would rather this happened now VS happening during the playoffs, you do know that this doesn't change the fact that it can happen again to this team right? Maybe the thought of having to sit out 10 games like their QB had to, will sway some guys into getting vaccinated.
My main point is that it won't happen to Rodgers or Adams. You do know how viruses work right? The whole antibody thing?
If one plugs in any starter and backup, isn't that going to be pretty accurate? There are certainly times, even seasons, when the backup wins, but not because he looks like the starter.
Sadly, I do know how this particular virus works and have lost a few friends/family to it. I also know a few people who have had it twice. So just because Rodgers and Adams have had it, they aren't immune to getting it again, especially a variant.
Well, hopefully our run game will be better than what NY did against KC. Crossing toes.
I'm not sure what your question is. Are you saying that other teams have won with backup QB's, so why shouldn't the Packers?
this imho is the whole problem with vaccines. they are designed to handle specific viruses that in most cases have mutated long before the vaccine is readily available. sometimes they still work, but often they do not.
That is almost like someone back in 1920, when they started wearing leather like helmets in football, saying they didn't protect your head very well, so why wear them. No, but they were much better than nothing and as they were used and studied, they were developed into even better protection.
Speaking of back-ups...Tom Matte recently died. He took over for Unitas and I think an ex Badger for the Baltimore Colts for games and playoffs in 1963. Packers were fortunate to beat them in the playoffs.
We will see after this game. Rod is bringing too much drama to Green Bay and if Love does a good job i'm sure they will reconsider things about Rod in a heartbeat.
I was addressing
and figured you were referring to Love and AR. All I was trying to get across is that ANY starter and backup in the league are going to be very different. Sometimes that hasn't been a problem, sometimes even an advantage, but I think it's always true.
I don't know. ARod has been playing great and with a great attitude. People all over (including NFL) have been getting covid. It just happens. Hopefully it won't affect him physically too much. Whether we move on or not is gonna depend imho on contract issues. I have said before, I don't think it is impossible that we could do something like the Saints did with Breeze. And Tampa Bay seems to be doing with Brady.
Got ya. I was merely saying that we will be going from the 2020 MVP to a late first round "rookie" QB, with no NFL real game experience. I think the QB play will be night and day between them. Even more glaring than the difference we saw between Favre and Rodgers. Probably more like what we saw from Hundley or Kizer when Rodgers went down.
We could do that if it hadn’t been locked. This is my biggest reason for saying it should have remained open.
Yes, sadly your level of intelligence is daunting compared to the rest of us. Thank you for the reminder, I really hope it helps you to sleep better at night. You made my day, with all your wisdom and intellect.
Aside from the Covid incident, Rod era is over. Hopefully he continues his success this year. However, I don't think we should go the route of the Saints as you can tell they are now having problems with their QB situation after investing in Brees all these years without having a promising successor. So if Love does a great job i'm betting Packers will be doing some serious changes.
You are comparing 2 QB's that are 4-5 years apart? Why not compare him to Tom Brady or Brett Favre? Personally, I don't really think you compare Rodgers to any of those guys, since all 4 players are independently different from the others in so many ways, including the team dynamic.
Much appreciated. Now in your defense based on others point of views on other subjects (defense, wr depth, draft, salary cap, that other one) maybe I am wrong to jump to the conclusion that something as obvious as that does not need to be pointed out. I sincerely apologize.
Agreed…however this latest incident could very well be an indication of things the Packers management has been dealing with quietly for quite some time. I suspect they are now not so secretly praying that Love shows some spark, and that they can legitimately plan to move on. Rodgers is an incredible talent on the field, but I’m not sure how much more the front office wants to deal with.
