He's one of the best QBs in the game. He'll be fine.

Wow....get rid of Rodgers.
Even last year, his worse, he was better then two thirds of the NFL QBS.
Last night was his first on field play of the year. And people want to can him?
REALLY?????
No Nelson, first time with Cook, only TWO SERIES, and people want to dump him?
I'm glad we are just fans and have no real input on who the Packers keep.

In the SF game Rodgers' accuracy was HORRIBLE and I know why.
I looked back at the last two 3rd preseason games [Oak in '14; Pitt in '15] and the difference is Stark. Though I dont think either situation was his first play of preseason, this is not significant.
All week long, we heard of how accurate Rodgers was [the last few weeks he's been running the scout team and not getting first team reps]; then he plays in a game and cant throw an accurate 5-10 yard pass. So what happened? The biggest difference is that in the game he dont wear no red jersey.
In Oak and Pitt games, Rodgers stood in the pocket at least one extra count and took a handful of hits because of it. His focus was on completing the pass, not where the rush is. He refused in SF to make himself a stationary target, this one thing alone makes him unfit to play QB.
He got his bell rung in SD last year, had 2 weeks to think about it, and Rodgers has lost his nerve.
I will bet my left nut, that in the last 10 games, if one looks at how long he stood in the pocket v. the rush you'll see that when he sucked he had those happy feet and didn't stand like a man in the pocket. Then there were times last year like in the first 7 quarters of the playoffs and garbage time of the last 10 games, when he got pissed and put the rush out of his mind.
Trust boy now has lost his trust in the OL and he's afraid of ending up like Mike Webster; at least the ILB from Wisconsin and SF [forgot his name-too many concussions ya know] did the right thing and quit when he knew he was done. Rodgers is WAYYYYY to selfish to expect this. One more half a year like last, a temporary benching MUST be done and if that dont work a change MUST be made.
I wonder if this year would be different if Mike McCarthy had benched Rodgers in favor of Tolzien for a game or 2 last year. This year Mike McCarthy has a plan to deal with trust boy.
It's time for Rodgers lovers to forget about who he was and pretend he's some guy you never heard of and watch his play.
