So, the way Michael Rodney says exactly what I said makes what he said okay and the way I said it not okay? Michael Rodney is not constantly badgered by homers. His site is frequented by very knowledgeable and objective fans. That doesn't mean they all are, but the majority are those who aren't just rah rah types.
Do you see passion in Aaron Rodgers play? I watched Russell Wilson take the ball in his own hands late in the 4th and run, making several key plays on sheer desire. There is no reluctance in Russell Wilson to do what needs to be done to win. He is completely sold out to it and it shows in his play. I haven't seen much of that from Rodgers... I did see it vs. the Jets...the Barry Sanders-esque run comes to mind.
Chewing out rookies is pretty classless if you ask me. That doesn't indicate passion for the game, it indicates the desire to let the world know he didn't make the mistake someone else did. I like sideline fire, but public chiding when you know for sure the camera is on you is unbecoming of a leader.
Our team is not very good so when our superstar QB plays average our team looks really inept. He knows he has to play better. He made many references to lack of adjustments in his presser. He's clearly upset with someone on the coaching staff. Most likely MM. That frustration can lead to disinterest.
Again, I must ask...why are we terrible? If MM is saying he never felt so positive coming into a season why are we 1-2 and not looking good in any of our 1st three games? There is a reason for that. It isn't just nothing. Are we disinterested? Are we just not that good? Or...both?
This is the 3rd straight year we start 1-2. That's a trend...a disturbing trend just like one and done. Where is the fix coming from? OL...not good enough. Rodgers not very good this year. No TE to speak of. D looked very good.
The season rides next Sunday in Chicago. Will we answer the bell? That is a mystery.
Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."
