Rodgers stat line is amazing, he's been solid, he's poised, but there's one problem...that stat titled "Wins".
Now, he obviously is not responsible for losing 3 games, it is after all a team game. I am not a Rodgers hater, but I'm also not a "Mr. Rodgers Neighborhood", "Favre Who?", Rodgers lover.
He's been solid....that's it. Credit is due because he has produced, but..They're lucky to not have been embarrassed in the
Detroit game, a close Minnesota game, great Dallas game, absolute mess of a Tampa game, and such a let down with Atlanta.
Obviusly there are many factors going into each game and their repective outcome, play calling, injuries, defense, special teams, etc. However, this is a thread about Rodgers.
My issue is with the "extreme" in both directions on this whole Favre vs Rodgers debate. I don't care that his stats are great, I care about wins. I don't care if you think we'd be in the same spot with Favre, we'll never know.
I don't care if you think we'd be 5-0 if Favre was here, we'll never know. All I do know is the Packers are sitting 2-3 at the end of week 5 with a tough schedule ahead of them and they don't look good.
The problem I have with Rodger's lovers, they blame the D.
They saved us from embarrassment in week 1, kept Dallas in check to have a chance, and gave us a chance to win vs Tampa with 4 turnovers.
Yesterday they held them to 2 FG's when Atlanta started in their own territory, forced 2 punts, and made an amazing INT to save a TD.
Yet I found myself in the 4th quarter thinking, how do we
expect to win with only 17 points.
Again, Rodgers stat line looks amazing but he is not getting it done, he's not winning the game.
He got rattled to the max in Tampa, holds the ball way too long, and shows signs of panicking in situations when it counts, ie. yesterday's INT.
I don't know, I'm disappointed right now. I'd like to see him, and the play calling, not worry about his stat line.
After all, the guy that went 16/26, 194 yds,and 2TDs got the W while the guy that went 25/37 with 313 yds, and 3TDs tacked on another one to that lowly loss column.
I'm not giving up on Rodgers or the Pack, but I'm preparing myself for a long, long season.
