Look -- the kid's got some growing to do. This is his first season as a starter in the NFL, and surprisingly enough, he's got more to learn.
But I really don't know if it's just that everybody's tired of complaining about the defense or what, because I really have a problem with the concept that Aaron's not getting the job done. Again, if he leads the team down the field to a score that puts them up late in the game, isn't it on the D to hold that lead?
And when said D goes out and does its best collective matador impersonation and lets the friggin'
Jaguars roll down the field like they're last year's Patriots, then it's on Aaron to do it all
again?
And if, surprise surprise, he's not quite able to do that, the onus is on him?
Maybe I'll come off as some sort of Rodgers apologist, and I'm not saying he's anywhere near perfect, but I just don't get this criticism. If he'd come out this season and crapped it up that's one thing -- but he's played well, and other than a couple instances I simply can't blame this team's record on him. I just can't.
