Hell, I wanted him gone.

I do, but I'm hesitant to intentionally base an analysis on the easy-to-look-at plays only, because they get the majority of the media/fan attention as it is.

For example, wasn't there a game last year where Favre threw a pick 6 to relinquish the lead in the 4th quarter, and then his D bailed him out with some fantastic play? That was only 1 of 22 INTs, and it doesn't go down as him losing a game. I'll try to find the specifics of that game after my meeting this morning... The very fact that I don't remember the details sort of reinforces what I'm talking about though. I never even saw a replay of it in the ESPN/NFL Network recaps, just saw it live.

You would need an all-star / pro bowl defensive starters in that case.

another video from rodgers, talks a little about cutler and some other stuff.

We ought to just be happy we got the guy.

We could be sitting here with a 1st round pick no panning out like so many or mortgaging the future having to give away picks to find somebody decent or putting the future of the team on hold bringing in an old soldier to get us through the year.

The guy played above anybody's expectations as a first year starter. The deal was the rest of the team was supposed to pick it up and give him the support he needed. What he got was a lot more pressure allowed than both starting tackles had ever allowed before, blown blocking assignments by the OL, and a defense that would allow a score late giving him the ball back with an entire field and less than two minutes to get there.

The Vikes and Bears have looked for a guy half as good as Rodgers for YEARS now finally giving in to desperation and throwing all the chips in the middle and we STILL probably have the guy that will be better than what either team got this year.


All this nit-picking the guy is rediculous. You do realize both the Vikes and Bears would have jumped on Rodgers in a heartbeat had the chance allowed it, right?

ok are you guys ready for this. I have watched the last video and the red carpet video and i was actually impressed with Rodgers. I just don't understand how he can be so good in some interviews and an ass in others.

---

I agree with that premise.
But it's not as though BF took his team to the super bowl last year.....he didn't even lead them to the playoffs. So other then winning more games then we did (which some were in spite of him, not because of him) we ended up in the same boat as the Jets. No playoffs for either.

I do not look forward to a Favre v.s. Rodgers game.

If it happens, I feel Ted Thompson will regret ever chasing that hillbilly out of Green Bay.

Bottom line, Ted Thompson needs to make the playoffs this season, or his job is in jeopardy.

With talent such as Bill Cower, Mike Holmgren available for GM and coaching jobs, if we do not make the playoffs this season, I have seen enough of Ted Thompson supposed five year plan.

WRONG!

The Green Bay Packers need to make the playoffs, not Ted Thompson. Christ is that getting annoying. The Packers are FAR bigger than their GM, whomever it may be.

---

Because often times people hear what they want to hear. Because people theorize as to Rodgers' intent or character as a person. Because usually in those cases peoples' instincts are, in fact, wrong.

(Basically everyone who got their panties in a twist about the Rodgers interview on Kampman failed to take into account a number of likely factors -- not the least of which was a little sarcasm at the beginning of the interview. But, oh well, I guess I'm just theorizing myself.)
