Rodgers made a "tight throw into a small window" 50 yards down the field against TB and everyone said it was bad.

There's a difference between "throwing a guy open" and jamming it into quadruple coverage. On that play in Tampa, I think that's on Jennings. There were 4 guys around him, but it seemed like Jennings had some room. The ball went off his hands.
On that third down pass to Lee, man, that's not throwing someone open. Throwing someone open means you lead them to the open spot with the ball. On that play, Rodgers just jammed it in there. Fortunately the play was completed.

Makes you wonder, if the Bears CBs had been tighter on Jennings against the Bears, would that have made for a better completion by Rodgers? Would he then have made that throw that "we're all waiting for" for the comeback?

If the defense doesn't repeatedly implode against the run last year and Mason Crosby makes those kicks, does Rodgers get a reputation as the "comeback kid?"

I think Bedard is grasping at straws a little here.. I think he is looking for Rodgers defining drive or something to ping back to later on.

What do I mean.. I will use an example of past days.

For Brett Favre.. for me, the defining moment when I knew Brett was for real was the TD drive against the Falcons years ago.. that was my moment.

But I agree, it is nonsense to judge a player upon one failure or success.. it takes a number of them to string that logic together.. is this the start.. we shall see.

That was a great drive by Rodgers, especially those two throws that Bedard highlighted. I'm glad he wrote about it. I think it deserved its own article. And I agree with Bedard that it could prove to be an important drive in Rodgers' career. Time will tell, but that's the way things happen sometimes.

It just worries me that yes he has room to grow. But i can see an injury on the horizon with the offense the way it is. He will be an elite Qb someday, im thinking give things another year after this season then GB will be so much the better with Arod with 50starts or so. As for the drive it was mighty impressive as i remember how he was in 4th quarter situations last season where he did panic. So that improvement has been vast. I look forward to next season, get some Oline and watch Green Bay challenege for the NFC North

This is a dumb article. It's a backhanded compliment at best, full of qualifications and "maybes." If the Packers lose this week against the 49ers, the columnists -- ahem, reporters -- will all be back to their snide remarks again.

As I said before the season began, rank bandwagon jumpers, all of 'em.

That was an outstanding drive. I watched it twice now and both times I was just amazed by the poised Rodgers had.

I don't disagree of course that the reporters will jump ship if GB loses to San Francisco, but the Packers have something to build off of on offense and they now have something on tape to rally around Rodgers on. Before the Dallas game, Green Bay didn't have that.

I agree that the drive was outstanding. I couldn't sit down the entire drive, I was so excited.

I'm just saying that this article is pointless. If it takes one drive for Rodgers to have arrived, it will take one or two incompletions for him to need room for improvement. I don't think this articles are edited at all.

Does anybody else get the feeling that this team is just ready to take off? Going into the Dallas game we had 3 of our next 4 games at home, with the one away game being at Detroit. I think this team is going to go on a serious run to the playoffs, and it's going to be led by the Defense. The Giants started out 4-4 in 2007, went 6-2 down the stretch, finished 10-6 and ended up beating one of the greatest teams of all-time in the Super Bowl as a wild card. I think this team has the potential to make the same kind of run, i've said it right after the 2nd Vikings loss that this wasn't the last time we would play the Vikings this year. I believe very much in fate and I think Rodgers & co. are going to have the last laugh, i'll just leave it at that.

The things you complain about just blow my mind. Especially when you have an error in your own complaint!


Anyhow, moving along from the complaining about an article being edited or not. The drive was very solid. I don't know if I'd say it was a coming of age drive for our Quarterback, unless he continues that moxie.

It should be noted that when the schedule came out, this 49ers game Sunday was circled by Aaron Rodgers. I'm going to try and pay particular attention to his mechanics during this game. If I remember.


Edit, since I failed to state my point thoroughly. If Rodgers throws 3 interceptions this week, the drive was nothing but an aberration. If Rodgers throws 3 touchdowns, its more likely its a stretch of games that our quarterback is coming of age. Just my thoughts.

I'm not getting paid for my writing. These guys make their living with this stuff.

I couldn't care less if they write opinion pieces, which is what these all are. I often spend more time in opinion sections than I do in news sections. The problem I have is that they write virtually no news pieces. The sports pages these days are essentially blogs. Even when they seem like they're being factual, there's always at least a little bit of interpretation -- spin -- thrown in there somewhere.

Sometimes I just want the facts so I can interpret them how I please. But I guess the facts don't get ratings these days. If I want to read a blog, I'll go to a blog. The editorial standards that apply to blog writing are so low that I don't really think bloggers merit salaries. It's not nearly as hard to whip out a blog entry as it is to write a solid journalistic article. (Obviously, if they own the sites that's a totally different matter.)
