I think Jennings is making him look a bit better than he really is....

Thank You.

And your claiming he hasn't thrown an incomplete deep pass yet isn't as biased the other way? How about the ball he shortarmed to Jennings two weeks ago in the loss to the Falcons? Rodgers has played well and has shown great accuracy, but let's not hyperbolize it.

How am I being Biased. This thread is NOT about Brett Favre. It's about Rodgers ability to throw the deep balls, and also remember that we had one called back to Driver. But when we go over top, weather it's 20 yards or 60 yards it seems we always make the plays.

Actually it's 8 out of 15 on those plays. Half is nowhere near every time unless you're letting bias skew your opinion. And where did I mention Favre?

I'm using my eyes. I'm not necessarily talking about long passes necessarily. But over the top passes where it's man on man coverage deep down field. I'm not talking about say a pass 30 yards down field on a crossing play. I'm sure you've watched the games and know what I mean, we don't attempt them often, but when we do, we nail them.

And ESPN's Merrill Hoge said that Aaron didn't have the arm
strength NOR the accuracy to complete deep ball passes.

And he's the "expert"

I think some people have a selective memory of Favre. He was a very good deep ball thrower, but not a great one. I think Rodgers is a little better, at least so far, but you could probably make a case for either. Stats only tell part of the story. Certainly the throws to Jennings on Sunday and Driver the week before were perfect. Neither receiver was very much open.

I still think Favre is the best I've ever seen at throwing slants and timing patterns. But the fact that we can even have these discussions is evidence of how well Rodgers is playing.

I forgot. Rodger's can't be complemented without comparing him to Favre.

Rodger's isn't allowed to be good because Lord Favre is a legend.

Makes sense.

+1. Good comments Greg.

Yeah, I would agree with that sentiment. Favre's better in the slant and Rodgers is marginally better on the deep balls. But imagine Rodgers' deep balls in 3 years time after he's matured (and Jennings/Jones/Nelson too). It's gonna get scary.

I agree with everything you said. Technically I think Rodgers is "good" at slants and curls, maybe even VERY good. But I don't think there was any better then Brett Favre in his prime at slants and curls. I think Rodgers may be a bit better at throwing out routes and deep balls. I'm very happy knowing that for the next 10 years or more, I can be hopeful that we have successful passed a torch onto another up and coming QB. Do they play the same way? nope, but they are both very good at what they do. I was the biggest Favre fan and now I'm a Rodgers fan. Can't we all be proud to have brought up 2 good QB's, proven thus far? I think it speaks volumes for this organization.

I'll say this for Aaron too. He's hit the deep balls without much running threat to help the playaction. Most of his deep balls have been fit in tight windows. That one to Driver td may of been one of the most accurate throws I've ever seen

During the offseason, they changed the offense to feature the Out Route more because that was one of Rodgers' strongest throws.

Lets see......Roddy thinks that when Favre threw to Jennings, and Jennings caught it, it was because Favre was so good.
When Rodgers does the same thing (which he's done several times this year already) it's only because Jennings is so good.
HUH?????

Again though.....he's consistant. We KNOW what to expect from him.
Love's Favre, hates TT.
Those 5 words pretty much sum up ALL his posts on this site.
If you took his posts that talk about anything else, he MIGHT have 5 or 6 total.

beast (2h) : I was rooting for the Bears to win and hurt their draft pick status

Zero2Cool (2h) : Forgot there was even a game last night haha

TheKanataThrilla (2h) : That was terrible.

TheKanataThrilla (2h) : Watching that game in its entirety yesterday is proof positive that I am a football addict.

beast (2h) : And horrible time management multiple times... and not being able to score more than 3 points on a team with talent

beast (2h) : Realizing the Bears didn't fix it from the previous week and do the same thing, getting the game to overtime

beast (2h) : They probably are not tanking, but they've absolutely mismanagement some things, such as Vikings seeing the Packers blocked FG and realizing

Zero2Cool (3h) : Crazy of Bears to have that mindset that is

Zero2Cool (3h) : Hail Mary stop away from 5 - 2. Not sure how that flips to tanking. Crazy mindset if true

beast (4h) : I've quietly questioned if Bears are tanking on purpose... they suddenly got a lot worse with some simple concepts like 101 clock management

wpr (6h) : Watching bares fans melt down over how putrid their team is, so enjoyable. It's the gift that keeps on giving.

Mucky Tundra (14h) : The Seattle Seahawks defeat the Chicago Bears 6-3. Jason Myers had 6 RBIs for Seattle while Cairo Santos had 3 RBI for Chicago

beast (14h) : Not nessarily, he might of been injured either way. He's playing about 50% of the games the last 4 years

Zero2Cool (21h) : If they'd been more patient with him, he'd be back already. Putting him out there vs Bears caused him to tweak it and here we are.

packerfanoutwest (21h) : well this is his last season with the PAck, book it

beast (22h) : Sounds like no Alexander (again), I'm wondering if his time with the Packers is done

Zero2Cool (26-Dec) : Could ban beast and I still don't think anyone catches him.

Mucky Tundra (26-Dec) : Houston getting dog walked by Baltimore

packerfanoutwest (25-Dec) : Feliz Navidad!

Zero2Cool (25-Dec) : Merry Christmas!

beast (25-Dec) : Merry Christmas 🎄🎁

beast (24-Dec) : Sounds like no serious injuries from the Saints game and Jacobs and Watson should play in the Vikings game

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : both games Watson missed, Packers won

Martha Careful (24-Dec) : I hope all of you have a Merry Christmas!

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Oh I know about Jacobs, I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to mimic Zero lol

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : Jacobs was just sat down, Watson re-injured that knee that kept him out 1 game earlier

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : I needed .14 that's. .14 points for the whole 4th quarter to win and go to the SB. Lol

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Jacobs gonna be OK???

Zero2Cool (24-Dec) : Watson gonna be OK???

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I just checked. What tie breaker?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ahh, ok.

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes due to tie breaker

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network

beast (23-Dec) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th

beast (23-Dec) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I think the revenue share is moot, isn't it? That's the CBA an Salary Cap handling that.

bboystyle (23-Dec) : i mean game becomes irrelevant if we win tonight. Just a game where we are trying to play spoilers to Vikings chance at the #1 seed

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno

beast (23-Dec) : I agree that it's BS for fans planning on going to the game. But how does it bring in more money? I'm guessing indirectly?

packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : bs on flexing the game....they do it for the $$league$$, not the hometown fans

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I see what you did there Mucky
