Is Aaron Rodgers Really the Comeback King?

I don't think so. Do you?

When Aaron Rodgers went down in the first half of Green Bay’s Sunday Night Football game against the Bears, it was like watching Superman getting stripped of his powers. And when Rodgers came back in the second half — limping and unable to put any real torque on his left leg — and led the Packers to a 20-point comeback win over the Bears, it was like watching Superman under a red sun still managing to save the world.

The Ringer’s resident Bears fan, Robert Mays, called the feeling of watching Rodgers jog back onto the field for the third quarter “familiar” and “nightmare-inducing.” My colleague Rodger Sherman crowned Rodgers “the comeback king” and said that, for the Packers QB, “ there is no such thing as a lost cause.” From the moment he returned to the game, Green Bay’s 24–23 comeback win seemed inevitable.

I never thought he was. One thing I wish they would do though is come up with a number of times he had brought his team from behind to take the lead in the 4th quarter only to have the defense give up the winning score. The article mentioned it but didn't elaborate on it.

I'm not sure why people give him more credit that he deserves when it comes to 4th quarter comebacks. Perhaps it is because when he does something like he did Sunday night is is so purdy that we all remember it and think yup, typical Aaron Rodgers.

Think about how close it came to being just another great comeback ruined by our defense.
CM3s screwup....saved by Perry’s strip sack on 4th down.

I feel like he has succeeded with the comebacks more so in recent years. Maybe not technically come backs, more specifically game winning/saving drives.

BAD EMAIL because the address couldn ot be found, or is unable to receive mail.

It’s unfortunate that our defense has put him in those kinds of situations so many times.
I’m just glad he’s OUR QB!

dfosterf (30-Jan) : So eeri

Mucky Tundra (30-Jan) : Now that's a thought, maybe they're looking at the college ranks? Maybe not head coaches but DC/assistant DCs with league experience?

beast (30-Jan) : College Coaches wouldn't want that publicly, as it would hurt recruiting and they might not get the job.

beast (30-Jan) : I thought they were supposed to publicly announce them, at least the NFL ones. Hafley was from college, so I believe different rules.

Mucky Tundra (30-Jan) : Who knows who they're interviewing? I mean, nobody knew about Hafley and then out of nowhere he was hired

beast (30-Jan) : I wonder what's taking so long with hiring a DL coach, 2 of the 3 known to interview have already been hired elsewhere.
