oh come oooon. i'll admit i've been wrong about a few things. i thought the O and D could be better than they've turned out to be...but $#!+ happened and they are what they are. i was wrong about their record (8-8, 9-7). i thought there was a possibility of making the playoffs. they've won with smoke and mirrors and that seems a certainty now. i said this season would be their best last-shot at a SB. i think that's playing out. they'll certainly take a step, or two, back next season.
Get off @gbgary's back already, only cause he doesn't parrot you lot on the Arod is GOAT and Packers are best team in the league narrative. And in all honesty, can you fault him? We lost embarrassingly to Chargers, and later to the Niners. Hell, if not for a good amount of luck we would have lost vs the Lions, and later to the Panthers. Dropping these games and we would still be fighting to get to the playoffs right now. Check the statistics, some of ours are just flat out pedestrian.
It's laudable (or crazy, whichever you prefer) that in January some on this forum thought that going to the playoffs and potentially win a SB this year was a no brainer, but it doesn't mean that people who disagree should be mocked or are any less of a fan of the team than you are.
you're not really paying attention if you believe what you wrote. Plenty of people in here are critical of Rodgers and his play at times. Going deep on 3rd and 2's, holding the ball too long, passing up underneath to go deeper. Focusing on Adams, attitude at time, etc. There are critiques of Rodgers by almost every poster in here. There's plenty of criticism on the Packers. Run defense. Too loose on defense. Way too many yards given up on defense, but they do seem to limit scoring. Not being able to slow down elite pass rushers in a few games. not being ready to play the Chargers, and on and on. Plenty of criticism. nobody thinks they're a shoe in super bowl contender. They have work to do, it's obvious to everyone. some can see the positives too however.

Came within a tipped ball at the goal line from potentially beating the Eagles, we were unlucky to lose that game. See what I did there? Ifs don’t mean a thing in the NFL.We lost embarrassingly to Chargers, and later to the Niners. Hell, if not for a good amount of luck we would have lost vs the Lions, and later to the Panthers.

Good teams never have to rely on luck though like Ravens over Cardinals. Or Texans over Jags. Or Vikings over Broncos or Saints over Panthers, or...Came within a tipped ball at the goal line from potentially beating the Eagles, we were unlucky to lose that game. See what I did there?

Then you have Gary, where even a positive is turned negative in every single thing he says about him. He's taken the most inane shots at him at times it's almost comical, and sadly predictable. The only compliment is a backhanded one.
massive exaggerations. lolgary is a negative nancy on everything about the Packers and especially Rodgers though.
massive exaggerations. lol
That explains why you can't see itmassive exaggerations. lol
It's the internet. Hyperbole is one of the fuels that drive the clicks.massive exaggerations. lol
It must be a miserable experience as a Packers fan to despise the starting quarterback as much as some seem to.
if you take the exact opposite of hero worship, then you'll know what he's talking about with that post. Rodgers has his flaws like every single human being on earth. Just as when watching a game there is a huge difference between saying, "Dang, King got caught taking him too far inside and opened a door to get beaten outside and that pass was right there." giving up a TD and "****ING KING SUCKS, our season is over, we're not winning another game, maybe 1. We can't beat anybody good, we're 1 and done, Pettine sucks worse than Capers..."I wasn`t going to rise to this but what the hell ? Why is it necessary around the forum to hero worship Aaron Rodgers so much ? We have ONE superbowl win in his tenure, ONE. If anybody dares to state that statistic people jump on you for not holding him in such high regard. WHY ?, are people not allowed to have opinions ? I`m not attacking you personally here it`s just an observation.
I`m tired of reading how this organisation has failed HIM by not surrounding him with the right personnel all the time. HE isn`t the team, he`s a player and a very well paid one too.
This organisation will be here long after he`s gone. I am a GREEN BAY PACKERS fan, NOT an individual fan. I`m sorry if that offends some people here but that is my opinion, and as a moderator, I`ll defend YOUR rights and mine to have a place to express YOUR opinion without ridicule on the forum. And I do mean ANYBODY`S opinion.
Rant over, have a great day![]()

I'm sure you can see the difference. just as there maybe 1 or 2 "hero worshippers" as you call them, though i've seen about everyone on here criticize Rodgers at one point or another, there are a couple that can't see anything good out of a sure fire Hall of fame QB. Call it what you must I guess, but are they any different?
Rodgers holds the ball too long, but it also results in so many big plays over the years he's one of the best ever to play the game. Favre threw too many interceptions, but that same mentality is what brought us so many exciting and dominating performances over the years. They all have their spots, but these guys have so much more they've given to the teams and one is continuing to do so. But according to some, his our biggest obstacle to success and every single thing that happens is run thru those glasses before posting.
You just accurately summarized this entire forum. Shaggy can now shut it down.... everything has been said. lol.you're not really paying attention if you believe what you wrote.

He's thrown like 5 of those in 10 years. I mean I know they stand out, but that's his signature pass? Man, all those ropes to Jennings and Jones, the back shoulder bullets to Jordy zipping past the earhole of the defender wondering what that sound was and how did he just give up a 20 yard pass with such tight coverage? The text book play actions to the post? The side line darts in big moments ala Cook in Dallas?
Good teams never have to rely on luck though like Ravens over Cardinals. Or Texans over Jags. Or Vikings over Broncos or Saints over Panthers, or...
Again, I have absolutely no respect from those who never, and I mean never, compliment Aaron Rodgers. And it's ONLY because those same people simply do not like him. If there are people out there who have zero nice things to say about the quarterback, especially when he performs on a high level, then yes that bothers me. And yes, I would imagine that would be a pretty miserable experience for a fan.I wasn`t going to rise to this but what the hell ?

The hail marys that stand out to me:I do understand what you are saying but if somebody is going to say how sad it is to despise the starting quarterback so much, and so often, I think I have the right to respond. Take for instance the hail mary passes ?
While it is great that that seems to be his signature pass, for me, it`s the receiver who catches the ball who is MY hero, being covered by three defenders !! Again, just my opinion.

You say you have a problem with hero worship. Can you name a single poster on this forum that has never criticized the play of Aaron Rodgers? I mean for the love of God, people were wanting to bench him in 2016 for Brett FREAKIN' Hundley. The vast majority of this forum left him for dead in the early part of the 2016 season, yet you say that you are sick of the hero worship? And I'm not saying that the criticism wasn't warranted, because a lot of it was. But...it was not hero worship.
MOST of the this forum exhibits a good balance of critique, and praise, for all of the players on this football team. But there is a good handful of those that NEVER take the time to compliment or praise the quarterback, as they do with the rest of the team.
Is it too much to ask to be objective? Instead of ignoring the good things, and ALWAYS harping on the bad? I mean seriously. Unless Rodgers is out there banging your significant others, there's no reason to harbor any resentment towards him.
He shows up to work every week. Comes in early, stays late. Watches film. Always participates in OTAs (optional), always sets a good example off of the field, has never been in trouble with the law, is remarkably charitable, gives back to the community, etc. But because some think that he's "cocky" "arrogant" "condescending" etc., that's enough to despise him like some do? Really?
Did anyone watch Tom Brady chew his receivers up and spit them out on Sunday Night Football in front of a nationally televised audience? THAT is the essence of why many despise Rodgers...for behavior like that. If that were Aaron Rodgers that exhibited that EXACT behavior, it would have been the main headline on every media outlet in the country.
The hail marys that stand out to me:
- 2015 to win the Detroit game. It was the last play of the game. What the heck did you expect for Rodgers to do on the last play of the game? Throw a 3 yard out?
- 2015 to tie a playoff game against Arizona. It was the last play of regulation. Would you have rather Rodgers took a knee and forfeit the game? Or would you have preferred a bubble screen?
- 2016 playoff game against New York. It was the last play of the half. Would you have preferred that Rodgers hand the ball off to the running back instead of going for the end zone on the last play of the half?
Here's the difference. Others can praise Richard Rodgers for the catch against Detroit, because it was a hell of a play. Others can praise Janis for a terrific athletic play to come down with the catch against Arizona. Others can praise Cobb for establishing impeccable positioning in the back of the end zone to catch the one against New York.
But you don't want to give Rodgers any credit for those hail marys? None? Really? It doesn't warrant any praise at all?
THAT is being a hater, plain and simple. We can agree to disagree all day long, but that's the reality of it.
Anyone who finds fault with a few hail mary attempts (that were crucial in either winning, or having a chance at winning, the game) out of exactly 6,500 career regular season and postseason passing attempts, will find fault with absolutely anything. They are called haters.As far as the hail mary’s are concerned... I don’t even know why they are in the conversation. They were awesome plays at the time, but have nothing to do with the majority of his career.
