I disagree, but that's the beauty of opinions, nobody is right. Just personal strategy and in the end the only thing that matters is who is in the money at the end.

Yeah. Just throwing out my argument. I know there are valid arguments for lots of strategies

Rodgers is missing guys in ways we haven't seen from him until recently. I traded Rodgers and Matt Jones for Cam and I'm so glad I did.

Actually, funny thng is that I did draft Rodgers this year, albeit in a redraft. He fell to the eight or ninth round since I live in MN and it was some sort of sin to draft Packers players. I guess the non-lazy argument would be to always look for value regardless of position or round.

Alex Mack is a major reason they are much better on offense this year.

You don't see players in KC giving up BBQ. Or players in New Orleans boycotting Mardi Gras. Or players in Washington giving up douchebaggery. He tempted fate and lost when he gave up dairy.

Coach, O-Line, WR
I'm sure there's some truth to all 3 of those positions above being sub-par but is it too farfetched to say that Rodgers just hasn't looked the same and should be shouldering much more of this "blame".
Rodgers has all day on passes and he either can't see the open man, there is no open man, or he overthrows the open man.

Rodgers is flat out missing throws...not the 4-8 yards gimmee's but those game changing throws. He seems a little more gun-shy in the pocket and hurrying some of those deeper throws just a little bit. He is just off slightly
I think he can fix it but I think that is what I have been seeing.

Rodgers has not been good. But I am not worried long term. His arm talent still looks elite just some timing and accuracy issues. Basically all QBs including Brady, Brees, and Manning have off stretches from time to time in their careers due to moving players, coaches, and/or mechanics. Just amazing Rodgers lasted all the way to last season to have his first.

Isn't the timing and accuracy of a QB's throws what makes those other guys elite though?

Yep. Jay Cutler is an elite arm talent. That alone isn't enough.

That said, Rodgers had it all put together for a long stretch. Safe bet is he figures it out again. I doubt we've seen the last of his elite years.

Yes it is which is why I said ARod is not playing well right now. It is also the reason ARod has been elite for most of his career. The point was that his physical skills do not look like they have diminished and I expect him to bounce back in the future.
