Packers quarterbacks:  That Aaron Rodgers guy is pretty good. Should he ever get hurt for an extended stretch (God forbid), things could go south in a hurry. Most teams are in the same boat as the Packers when it comes to quarterback. If the starter gets hurt, they're screwed. Fans like to get all worked [...]

oh no. Even Jersey Al is calling Rodgers a stat whore. 🙄

Aaron Rodgers: The most physically gifted quarterback in the game. By now, we all know what Rodgers is good at. If we wanted him to be even better, I suppose we could point to his tendency to hold the ball and ignore underneath receivers. Sometimes it feels like Rodgers is almost too talented for his own good. He’s always trying to wriggle around the pocket and keep his eyes downfield, hoping a receiver comes open deep for a bomb. Sometimes you want to shake Rodgers and tell him that there’s nothing wrong with a “normal” five-yard pass every now and then. That’s getting really nit-picky, though. It’s not like Rodgers never throws underneath and always holds the ball too long.

I think the only way some people would not semi-consistently bitch about a quarterback is if it's Madden and they're controlling him.

That said, the guy makes few mistakes, for the most part plays under a control only seen in the greats and is playing behind a line that plays like a roller coaster.. and people still find a way to bitch about his play.

People just must gather sticks I guess... Rodgers play is far from a pressing concern on this team.

Aaron Rodgers, playing the most heralded and valuable job in the world. It is time to recongize the quarterback as the almighty rulers of the world. I'll drop a little factoid on you inferior folks. If the President was a quarterback, the economy would be flourishing!

I have to disagree with you there. I see QB as the difference maker between a bad team and good and between a good team and a great one. You can, of course, cite a few exceptions like Trent Dilfer, but as the say, the exception just proves the rule.

You can take an good talent, see Joe Flacco, put him on a balanced and complete team and you can and will win.

One does not have to have an elite QB to win football games, it gives you more options to win, but so does a good running game. Or a blue chip offensive line. Or a dominate and complete defense.

They are a emphasized player no doubt, but also an over embraced, hyped component of a team.
