Aaron Rodgers is being let down by his coach (again)

Do you agree with this?

I'm not ready to give up on Aaron Rodgers.

The Green Bay Packers quarterback has had a down year, to be sure. The Packers are sitting at 4-4 after losing on Sunday to the Colts, mired in third place in a division they looked primed to win once the Vikings fell back to earth. Rodgers has looked positively mortal in those eight games, and the stats bear out what I've been seeing on the field - Rodgers seems less mobile, and he's taking fewer shots downfield. At 32 years old, Rodgers is already being questioned by some as being past his prime and on the downturn.

I don't buy it. I don't buy it because Rodgers still has all the tools, and this Packers team isn't working right now. Rodgers can't throw to guys who are covered, and he can't surprise defenses when his team runs the most predictable offense in the NFL.

For me, watching Packers games is akin to seeing Helio Castroneves show up at Indianapolis Motor Speedway and being asked to drive a Ford Fiesta. The Fiesta is a fine car, good and reliable, but uh, it's Helio Castroneves at Indy. Maybe we give him something with a little more horsepower and see what he can do?

The Packers' offense is a symphony of bland. It laughs in the face of creativity. They've got one of the most accomplished offensive lines in the league, a bruising running back in Eddie Lacy, and one of the most gifted quarterbacks of the past 25 years, and this offseason head coach Mike McCarthy talked about getting back to basics with his offense. Seriously. This was the quote, via ProFootballTalk.

"The best plays are still the basic plays. It's not the design of the play. It's what everybody can do with that design," McCarthy said. "That's what we have to get back to - winning with the fundamentals, with players and not plays. When you get in tough times, offensively, we may have leaned a little more towards plays instead of focusing on developing players. That's a big part of my getting back in there full-time [calling plays]. That's how I built this thing, and that's how it should be ran. We got away from that a little bit."

Numerous times guys were open against the Colts, in particular Davante and Janis.

Aaron sometimes double clutches, sometimes executes the offense, sometimes goes sandlot. Mike is letting everyone down by not holding Aaron accountable. Just as Sherman was afraid to reign in Bert, Mike is now shitting the bed with Aaron.

But it's not just Mike. It's Aaron too. Aaron knows how to execute the offense. He just doesn't.

dfosterf (28m) : The white background beta was hard to read, especially the quotes

dfosterf (44m) : Hopefully the color scheme remains the same

dfosterf (51m) : *Friday*

dfosterf (54m) : 100 million would be 539 million as of Fridsy

dfosterf (54m) : Heck, they could have taken a hundred milliion and invested in DAVE inc. last year (semi random, humor, but real)

dfosterf (1h) : Beer brat and ticket is where the money comes from

dfosterf (1h) : The 40th is Titletown Tech itself. This is a pet project of both Ed Policy and Mark Murphy

Zero2Cool (1h) : New site coming along nicely. The editor is better than what we have here. Oh yeah!

dfosterf (1h) : No profit that I know of. 0 for 40

dfosterf (1h) : The woke reference has to do with the makeup and oftentimes objectives of the companies they invested in

packerfanoutwest (1h) : beer and brats woke? say whom?

beast (1h) : I don't want to get into politics, but how is, beers and brats considered to be "woke"? Food is food...

beast (1h) : That being said, I'm not saying all 100% should be that way, but not surprised if majority are Wisconsin based

beast (1h) : And if everyone has heard of them, then it it probably has less growth potential and less community based

beast (1h) : Well isn't the investing person supposed to invest the money?

dfosterf (1h) : I swear if I were to discover that one of them has invented a virtue signalling transmitter I will not be surprised, lol

dfosterf (2h) : 39 companies so far that I bet no one has ever heard of.

dfosterf (2h) : -Not saying woke, but should- borderline philanthopist venture capital excercise

dfosterf (2h) : Well for one, they are pouring resources into Title Town Tech. Investing beer, brat, hot dog, ticket money into what is pretty much...

beast (8h) : Wow, 95% drop in investment revenue? Would be interesting to hear the details of why...

dfosterf (25-Jul) : It's my one day deal complaint dept. on shareholder meeting day

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Probably a homer access credential intimidation kinda thing

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Meathead "journalists" skip this, concentrating on operational revenue when convenient. They switch when net revenue is more favorable.

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Resulting in an actual drop of net revenue of 12.5%. She is from Minnesota. Just sayin'

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Any plans to hold Maureen Smith (CFO) accountable for a 95% drop in investment revenue?

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : @ByRyanWood Mark Murphy: “A great source of pride of mine is that we were never on Hard Knocks.”

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : *years

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : @mattschneidman Mark Murphy says he anticipates “many Packers games” being played in Germany, Ireland and/or the U.K. over the next 5-10 yea

dfosterf (25-Jul) : *cafeteria* I have hit my head also, so I sympathize

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Possibly hit his head leaning into the glass protecting the food in the cafateria

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Maybe a low flying drone

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Did Savion Williams run into a goalpost or something?

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : also, no bueno when a guy starts getting concussions right off the bat in his career

Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Concussion is worse. Banks probably vet off day via back booboo claim

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : @AndyHermanNFL Jordy Nelson out at camp today. No word if he’s in play for one of the two open roster spots ; )

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Is that better or worse than Banks bad back?

Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Savion concussion ... not good.

packerfanoutwest (24-Jul) : Aaron Rodgers’s first pass of first team period was picked off

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : tbh I didn't hear of his passing

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Cosby Show. Malcom Jamal Warner I think is real name

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : I was thinking of Ozzy and Hulk
