by ESPN.com's Kevin Seifert

We've analyzed every word from Chicago quarterback Jay Cutler this summer. We dissected each step Brett Favre made from Mississippi to Minnesota. And all the while, Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers has been the sharpest quarterback in the NFC North through the midpoint of the preseason.

Objectively speaking, I don't think you'll find many people who could dispute it. As Cutler works to learn the nuances of his receivers and Favre attempts to learn the names of his, Rodgers quietly has taken his development to the highest levels. He has a 142.3 preseason passer rating, having converted three of his 19 passes for touchdowns. But more importantly, Rodgers has proved to be a case study in the benefits of knowing your receivers.

Both of his touchdown passes to receiver Donald Driver, for instance, required adjustments that wouldn't have occurred if Rodgers didn't know how Driver would react to the coverage and situation.

Rodgers: "The communication has been definitely the best that it's been the past two years that I've been playing. Just come off on the sidelines, and Greg [Jennings] coming over, Donald coming over, and having some real good dialogue about what they're seeing out there. Just the confidence that they have in myself, and the confidence I have in them when they tell me, 'Hey, I saw this out there. If we come back to this play, think about this.' It just gives you the confidence that we're on the same page. I think we're getting real close."

This is not to diminish the work of Cutler or Favre. But as we head into this season of Air and Space in the Black and Blue, Rodgers' deep foundation in the Packers' offense can't be overstated.

With the NFC North arrival of Favre, Cutler and No. 1 overall draft pick Matthew Stafford, I plan to develop the Air and Space theme throughout the season. I'm interested in your suggestions on how to evaluate and compare their performances on a weekly basis. Sometimes traditional statistics don't always tell the story.

FYI to some of our more recent posters here:


To the right of the "skull and crossbones" box (When you get ready to draft a post or reply) is the "quote" box. Looks like a little "thought balloon in a cartoon box"

To ensure proper attribution of the article, please use that feature.

You hit the quote box, paste your story and hit the quote box again.

You should see this at the beginning of the section you want to quote:



you should see the exact same thing at the end of the story, except with a / in front of the {quote} within the box. I cannot duplicate that, because if I do , instead of displaying it--- this would all be in quotes, if that makes sense. You can also enter the code manually --- in other words, the actual

in ft with the actual [ quote] in back (<----missing "/ "in 2nd box for same reason)

You can check to make sure you got it right by hitting the preview button. It should appear like this

I hit the quote box once, now I'm done quoting, so I'm hitting the quote box again.



The effort to do the attribution was there...I saw it....I just wanted to show everyone how to do it.

If anyone has any questions on the tekkie aspects of posting here, please don't hesitate to ask a moderator or admin.

We will also help with avatars, sigs...you name it.

That little nugget of trivia will be going on a road trip to Minnesota and P.P.O. after this game is over (MNF)

We were at the game on Saturday and we sit on the Packer's sideline. After the missed 4th and 1 opportunity I noticed Gregg Jennings talking pretty seriously to Aaron Rodgers. I don't think it was a coincidence that Jennings scored a touchdown the next drive. 😎

Only thing I wanted this offseason for our O was a better Oline - and so far it is looking pretty good. Better test will be vs some teams with better D's

We've only faced teams that are complete messes this far. Cardinals and Titans will give our O-line the true tests.
