More important pieces than #2 WRs, RBs and TEs as they actually will factor in us winning it all whereas those positions don't. True. We added more to our defense than those teams. We'll see how it all pans out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegas492 Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 "Taking a critical look at my play the last few years and then going back to some previous years about what I felt like when I was playing really, really well, (I asked) what was I doing slightly different than what I've been doing the last five years?" Rodgers said. "I picked up on some things and tried to start incorporating them into my daily routine, and you pair that with a positive attitude and a comfort in the offense, it's not surprising to me how camp has gone."--Aaron Rodgers. I'm going to try to translate...."I know I've not been the same player for a long time, maybe 5 years. Decided to go back to school and see what was different. I can't say I didn't like the coach, or that my favorite WR's got old, injured, or left. I can put the blame on myself. I saw that my on-field attitude wasn't the same. I self scouted myself and saw how often I threw outside when there were holes over the middle. Now? I'm just slinging the ball and having fun again. This is a game, games are fun, so I'm going to have fun and that has led to the performance from this camp. Good luck NFL, I'm going full Godgers mode this year."

Brady already had Evans, Godwin and Howard - team still added Gronk and Fournette. Brees already had Thomas, Cook and Kamara - team still added Sanders Rodgers has Adams and Jones - team added....Jordan Love. Is he really worth a mention up to this point?

MacReady Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 I frankly don’t give a **** what weapons teams put around their aging QB. No team has ever won a Super Bowl by having the best weapons. The Chiefs added a second round WR to an admittedly stacked skill position group, but added an EDGE and an elite safety in the offseason. Their defense covered for the Chiefs slow start and kept them in that game when the Chiefs couldn’t move the ball for **** in spite of all those weapons. You give an aging QB all the weaponz if you want to sell tickets. You give your aging QB a defense and minimize his expectations if you want to win rings. Rodgers has an elite LT, an elite WR, an elite RB, an elite guard, an above average center, an okay RT and RG and lots of potential at the other WR positions with the promise of an excellent running game. The expectation is that he scores 24 points a game with those guys. If he can’t do that, he’s not worth his contract. Now if the loaded defense doesn’t do its part and keep the opponent to 23 points, that’s when you’ve failed your aging QB. Pettine failed in his San Francisco game plan. I’ll grant that. If it happens again this year, that’s when you look to get a new coordinator. EDGE, EDGE, DL, ILB, S, S, CB, CB, CB, EDGE. That’s 10 positions the Packers have invested significant free agent money or a first/second round pick in. If you can’t deliver with that talent, it’s a coordinator problem, not a player problem. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also worth pointing out that Kurt Warner (or original triggerman Trent Green) were far from "aging" at that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a perfect science but it's worked for Brady a few times. The Saint's and Brees took a couple early exits from the playoffs until the last couple years when they had a better D.

ThatJerkDave Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 That's where Lovie Smith came from. My Aunt's mom loved some Lovie Smith. I always had to remind her that all Bears suck, at all times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
