I certainly rarely read most of those overly verbose posts. If one can't say what they need to say concisely, they simply aren't effective communicators.

Let's face it, when one hears ā€œPacker fanā€ they donā€™t think Mensa. See the argument: "I didn't read it, therefore its "overly verbose." Not sure how one can know anything about an argument they didn't read and this omniscient arrogance is doubled down when they bitch about others using too many words, when they themselves us too many words. "Overly verbose" = "verbose."

Fragile Americans have become monosyllabic infant-minded twits. Many have lost the ability to argue with scholarship, integrity and class. If theyā€™re not portending to respond by reorganizing an argument into a dishonest sound-bite; theyā€™re ability to track and intelligently respond to an argument is completely lost.

But, then unable to intellectually respond, many lack the dignity, the grace and respect for TOS of a forum to just be silentā€¦and instead they must exert their monosyllabic rage in an ad homonym attack. Lincoln couldn't have said it better šŸ˜‚.

Look how shameful it was that NPR tweets the Declaration of Independence on Americaā€™s B-day and countess monosyllabic Trumptard twits believed NPR was attacking Trump. They obviously saw Trumpā€™s behavior as aligning with that of King George and they couldnā€™t even process a series of tweets to understand the context. They saw a sentence with pronouns and being unable or unwilling to read more than 40 characters to understand what the pronouns mean, they stewed in their own ignorance. But, they were unable to remain silent; they had to exert their monosyllabic rage in an ad homonym attack. They were so sure they knew were right and won't listen to other perspectives. Such arrogance mixed with a roundhouse lack of intellectual acumen is just starkly unbecoming.

To be effective would today's Declaration of Independence have to say, ā€œKing Georgeā€¦badā€¦very very bad?ā€

Rodgers affects every offensive play, which affects the # of plays the D has to be on the field, which affects them. So, to use your term, I think that means the QB is the center of the universe.

But, your assertion that its then contradictory to then believe Rodgers is not entitled to be an egocentric twat is a very strange argument šŸ˜‚?

I don't agree that the QB is as imporant as you're making him out to be but to accept that for the sake of argument, if the entire team lives and dies with Rodgers, why shouldn't the team then revolve around him? Sure, it'd be nice if he was more diplomatic/less whiny about it but at the end of the day, if we're winning then who cares how much of a twat he is?

You gotta lose your need for blame. You cant reduce my argument to monosyllabic misrepresented sound-bites; it is way too COMPLICATED for that. Learn from Smokey: football is the ULTIMATE TEAM game. The thread is about how long Rodgers can keep playing at his current level. Rodgers' performance will determine this and he'll be graded on how he plays his role. Not by how many wins, not by stats and not by how Adams or Randall plays. You say he's been ā€œmeh;ā€ which I guess means [as you stated earlier] that Rodgers chucks it downfield instead of making the first down once every other game, so itā€™s the exception, not the rule. This just not accurate.

Yes, we all know that at the end of the day stats don't mean jack squat besides wins and losses and even then, you can't assign that stat to an individual player. But ultimately, we're forced with comparing your own PERCEPTIONS and EDUCATED GUESSES with other people's PERCEPTIONS and EDUCATED GUESSES - we can explain ourselves until we're blue in the face but at the end of the day, the only hard facts we DO have is stats. Which again, are of limited use, but they're there and valuable in the correct context.

In last 2 years; he's played disgustingly HORRIBLY at times; very good at others, great occasionally. In crunch time he never plays great, occasionally plays well and often plays poor or outright chokes.

I agree completely - the same can be said for the defense, or to a much lesser extent special teams. There've been boneheaded playcalls too. You choose to assign the vast majority of the blame to Rodgers in one breath, then switch right back to spouting out how it's a team sport. Your PERCEPTION that Rodgers is not playing HIS ROLE on the field, and thus hurting the team is based on your observation of games - however a great number of people are watching the same games as you, watching practice, etc etc etc and choose to see the situation as far more complex as you sometimes come off as seeing it. To you, when Rodgers chucks it deep, he's being a stat whore if he's passing up someone underneath. To others, they're taking into account how the offense is designed to be timing-based and are choosing to look at things in a more realistic sense. What did the coverage look like pre-snap? Did Rodgers even look at the player to know he's open? Do we KNOW what his progression on that particular play was supposed to be? If it's 2nd and 10 and you've got a 90% chance of completing a 2 yard pass with defenders in the area or a 50% chance (again, based on those pesky stats) of making a 30 yard pass, is it boneheaded or being reasonably aggressive? What happens when that 2nd and 10 becomes 3rd and 7 - does that really help the team move the chains?

Never said Rodgers was responsible for ā€œeverythingā€ and you know it. But, in a TEAM game responsibility is never equally shared. Thereā€™s 53 guys and 160M to spend, thatā€™s 3M per. Rodgers is making the wage of more than 7 men; for him to be worth keeping [this is what the thread is about] he has to pull the weight of 7+ men. The last 2 years, he has not. And we all know Rodgers over the last 2 years has not been able to conceal or compensate for his destructive and sociopathic traits. His ability to cope with his mental demons, especially at crunch time, is the key to his continuing to play as long as and like Brady.

This is extremely typical of your posts, in that you keep talking about Rodgers Rodgers Rodgers Rodgers and comparing him to Brady endlessly. This gives off the extremely strong impression that you are fixated on Rodgers, and invariably the only time you EVER bring up anybody else on the team, it's when someone else has first and you're trying to refute how important the defense/coaching/other players on the offense/special teams are. And 9 times out of 10 it eventually leads back to "Rodgers is a stat whoring primadonna that's chucking it deep all the time and hurting the team".

I mean, what are we supposed to think?

I guess he would need for us to LOSE Aaron Rodgers and bring in some lousy quarterback in order for him to "attack" other areas of the team.
Hopefully that won't happen for many more years.
I can wait (hopefully a LONG time in the future) for the Packers to go back to the 1970's and 80's.

"Blah blah blah....I hate TRUMP.....blah blah blah"
Even this area of the forum can't escape the constant hate speech of Barfarn.

Why don't you keep this crap in the garbage area of this site, and not corrupt EVERY area of this great site with your babble? You can't back up your dislike of Rodgers with any real factual points, so you revert to attacking the president.
Just a broken record, playing the same garbage over and over and ove.....

You hate Aaron Rodgers....we GET it already. You don't have to keep saying it over and over and ove....
Maybe YOU should be the QB of a professional football team! I mean, it's obvious YOU know more about the position then poor dumb Aaron Rodgers does.

Just check out his posts, you will see what I mean.
On second thought, don't waste your time. I pretty much summed up what 90% of the posts are.
