Let's face it, Aaron is getting up there, and he's starting to "pull a Brent" with his demand to run the offense through Clements. No guarantee he's gonna hold up a whole season either.

So you have direct evidence that Aaron Rodgers demanded to "run the offense through Clements"? You must have a great inside source!

Somehow I think Nerd would make a very poor research scientist.

What do you think of Clement's qualifications?

I'm sure the decision was made because Mike McCarthy et al. thought it was best for the team. That doesn't mean he's right, but that's the nature of coaching.

No, this is not bluff. This is the Packers doing due diligence, something we often fail to appreciate.
