Why Aaron Rodgers Should Punt and Kick Too

[incognito_man]

I just had an epiphany...

Andy Reid demonstrated at a young age an athalete can dominate 3 phases of a football game: Punting, Passing, AND Kicking. (Note the oxford comma).

Of these, passing is by far the most critical, so it makes sense you'd train your best passer (Aaron Rodgers) to also punt and kick. The benefits are twofold:

• The Green Bay Packers could re-allocate two roster spots (Crosby's and Scott's).
• The Green Bay Packers would save $5million in cap space in 2021 alone (not to mention future savings).

The downsides are negligible.

I've seen that before but it's still hilarious. My son was a pretty decent athlete and played a ton of tournament basketball in his early teens. At that age point you get blazing fast 4'11" point guards splashing threes playing against 6'5" centers with Adam's apples the size of a baseball. Reid had to have been 12, right? He looks like a college freshman.

[edit: I guess he could have been 15, after a quick search for P, P &K ge groups.]

Also, the whole idea of specialty kickers and punters was late 1960's anyway, wasn't it? Long snappers were a mid 90's thing I think.

I'm the guy who doesn't get it, but angrily agrees.
