Jim Rome's burn on Aaron Rodgers

Here is the summary, paraphrasing as best as I can:

Now that Rodgers has his first playoff win people are talking about him as if he has some monkey on his back. UH WHAT, monkey. The guy is a 3rd year starter. Quit making it seem like he is a 10 year starter who gets to the playoffs every year only to fizzle out and lose. In his first start the guy threw for over 400 yards and accounted for 5 TDs. It's not his fault he lost that game. I've been on his bandwagon since day 1. The guy is 27 entering his prime and now that he may have a running game in James Starks he could be even more dangerous then he is now. Look out NFL.

Yeah I saw it too. I love the respect that Rodgers gets, especially since the end of the game last night.

Just gotta stay focused and keep winning!

He just said what many people here have said multible times.

However, it is good because Jim has a bigger audience.

I haven't cared for the Cowherd-esque opinion that since he hasn't won the SB yet as a 3rd year starter he's a putz, but at the same time if you listen to ESPN today, you'd swear that Aaron Rodgers is everyone's first born.

How can you tell a talking head is wrong, his TelePrompTer is moving.

I want to go out like my Grandpa did. Peacefully in his sleep.
Not screaming in terror like his passengers.

It's funny because he gets credit for being a "winning" playoff quarterback now but if Vick throws for a TD on that play instead of an INT he is shunned, without actually doing anything differently in the game.

The idea of quarterback wins belongs in the stone age.

Too bad Colin was "Sick" and couldn't appear on SN today. I wanted to hear what he had to say. Jim's final burn sums up exactly how I felt about Cowherds criticism towards Rodgers.

This also kills skip bayless' hate on Aaron as well.

Excellent point.

Aaron Rodgers post game comments are testament to the fact that no one player wins the game by himself.

If anything, our defense got a monkey off their back by

a) Completely trouncing last years embarassing performance at that stage
b) Coming through in the clutch

Zero2Cool is my captain.

Yup agreed but that's the NFL, the QB gets too much credit and too much blame, will never change.

packerfanoutwest (2h) : 49ers are underdogs at Packers, ending streak of 36 straight games as favorites

Zero2Cool (10h) : 49ers might be down their QB, DL, TE and LT?

packerfanoutwest (22-Nov) : Jaire Alexander says he has a torn PCL

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : Even with the context it's ... what?

Mucky Tundra (20-Nov) : Matt LaFleur without context: “I don’t wanna pat you on the butt and you poop in my hand.”

beast (20-Nov) : We brought in a former Packers OL coach to help evaluate OL as a scout

beast (20-Nov) : Jets have been pretty good at picking DL

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He landed good players thanks to high draft slot. He isn't good.

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He can shove his knowledge up his ass. He knows nothing.

beast (20-Nov) : More knowledge, just like bring in the Jets head coach

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : What? Why? Huh?

beast (19-Nov) : I wonder if the Packers might to try to bring Douglas in through Milt Hendrickson/Ravens connections

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : The Jets fired Joe Douglas, per sources

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : Jets are a mess......

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Pretty sure Jets fired their scouting staff and just pluck former Packers.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Jets sign Anders Carlson to their 53.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : When you cycle the weeks, the total over remains for season. But you get your W/L for that selected week. Confusing.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the total and percentage are the same as the previous weeks

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the totals are accurate..nrvrtmind

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : I don't follow what you are saying. The totals are not the same as last week.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : ok so then wht are the totals the same as last week?

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : NFL Pick'em is auto updated when NFL Scores tab is clicked

Martha Careful (19-Nov) : The offense was OK. Let's not forget the Bear defense is very very good.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : Who updates the leaderboard on NFLPickem?

beast (19-Nov) : Has the Packers offense been worse since the former Jets coach joined the Packers?

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Offense gets his ass in gear, this could be good.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Backup QB helped with three wins. Special Teams contributed to three wins.

bboystyle (18-Nov) : Lions played outside thats why. They scored 16 and 17 in the only 2 outside games this year

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : The rest of the NFL is catching up to Packers ... kicking is an issue throughout league

packerfanoutwest (18-Nov) : Packers DL Kenny Clark: We knew 'we were going to block' Bears' game-winning field goal attempt

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : Lions seem to be throttling everyone, but only (only) got 24 lol maybe the rain is why

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : Packers vs Lions game doesn't seem so bad.

beast (18-Nov) : Dennis Green "They are what we thought they were, and we let them off the hook!"

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : comment of the day Z2Cool "Bears better than we want to admit. Packers worse than we think. It's facts."

Mucky Tundra (17-Nov) : my worst case scenario: Bears fix their oline and get a coach like Johnson from the Lions and his scheme

Zero2Cool (17-Nov) : Bears get OL fixed amd we might have a problem

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Pretty sure they already have scouting reports on guys who aren't even starting for their college team. The future is now for me.

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : I tend to let Gute and Co. Worry about the future.

beast (17-Nov) : That's great news and Packers need to keep upgrading their OL, DL and DBs this off-season, so missing one guy doesn't kill them

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Jaire and Evans Williams are both ACTIVE! Good news.

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : The badgers really need to change the whole offensive scheme. No draws no screens plus the quarterback is marginal

Cheesey (17-Nov) : If the Badgers had a decent QB, they would have won. The guy can't hit a wide open receiver

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : chop block

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : there was a very questionable job Block call that upon viewing replay was very borderline

beast (17-Nov) : How so? (I didn't watch)

Zero2Cool (17-Nov) : Badgers got hosed vs Oregon

packerfanoutwest (16-Nov) : damn,he hasn't played since week 2

Mucky Tundra (15-Nov) : poor guy can't catch a break
