CBS Sportsline set up an over/under mark for Aaron this year and asked some scribes to pick the Over or Under 5,500 yard mark.

I am interested on your pick, over or under 5,500... And why.

Read the scribes picks right here....

I am going to say under because I want to be optimistic about an improved running game this year. I want to see the rushing attack as more than an after thought this year.

This [grin1]

Let's hope they are wrong, got to control the ball more on offense, keep the D rested.

I'm all for flinging the ball around early in a game to establish a lead, but like others want to see the Packers run the ball and control that time of possession.

4500yds with 35-40 td's 6 interceptions. That asking too much???

Yeah, under. I don't see him throwing for such a ridiculous amount of yards.

I know that it's becoming more and more of a passing league, but I do feel that the stats we saw last year where a bit of a fluke.

I'm not saying that no one will go over 5,000 yards, but I don't see two people shattering the Marino record, another one go over 5,000 and another one just 65 yards shy of 5,000.

And I certainly don't think anyone will go over 5,500 just yet.

That said, I do think that Rodgers will pass the 5,000 mark sometime soon. He could've done that easily last year if he had played against the Lions in week 17. He would've taken down Brady's single season TD record, as well.

Aaron Rodgers won't have the chance to throw for 5,000 because he's going to get sat down Week 17 because number one seed will be locked up already, plus Cedric Benson will show his value in deserving 10+ carries a game. The running game will take time off the clock and more importantly keep the Packers defense off the field and a little energized.

5500 yards? Seriously? Under.

Under. Way under. 4500 would be a more realistic over-under debate in my book at least.

I say around 4000 - 4500 not more this season. I think our running game has in fact improved and we could use that instead of throwing the ball to waste time.

I'll go with under.
I think the Packers may have learned that scoring quickly on fast and furious scoring drives put the defense back on the field too soon to their detriment.
I look for the offense to try to use up more of the clock and throw fewer passes.
