Is it possible he's going through the Kurt Warner mid career crisis? I recall Warner going through tons of struggles while he transitioned from his St. Louis days to his latter Arizona days. I'm not saying Rodgers needs a different environment to play well, but part of me believes we've already seen the best he has to offer.

Maybe like you're saying, maybe his body isn't reacting how he's accustomed and that's giving him a little mid-career-crisis?

Something I keep going back to is A.J. Hawk played like a man with his feet in quick sand and repeatedly said he was healthy. Aaron Rodgers on his Tuesday's with Aaron show let the cat out of the bag that he had a really bad ankle (I think) injury that he was toughing through.

There was a play against the Rams (or maybe Chargers) where Rodgers was dumped hard on his shoulder. I was thinking, damn that has to hurt. I'm wondering if something similar to Hawk is happening with Rodgers? Meaning that he's injured far more than he's letting on and that's causing him to be hesitant to run to move the chains and also effecting his accuracy?

As I reread this thread's post, I was surprised to see where the WRs/TEs were not assigned their proper blame . From my view (in the Chat) and other larger screens, I saw our #12 forced to hold the football for longer than he should have because his receivers could not get open . No offensive line can protect any QB for longer than 3 or at best 4 seconds. After that , it's beyond how the play was drawn up and practiced, the QB either scrambles to gain time for someone to get open or run with the ball or throw the ball away . I just hope that the return of Nelson and the addition of Cook at TE will allow for somewhere to throw the football this 2016 season. In addition, Cobb and the others may just benefit as well, as opposing coverage's adjust to a more effective core of receivers .

If he has another off year, then maybe I have some concerns. Right now, nope.

    Zero2Cool (2h) : NFL thought it would get more attention week preceding Super Bowl.

    packerfanoutwest (2h) : pro bowl
    Zero2Cool (3h) : From 2010 to 2022, it was played on the Sunday before the Super Bowl
    Zero2Cool (3h) : They moved it to the BYE week before Super Bowl several years ago.
    packerfanoutwest (3h) : it was always after the SB.....
    beast (12h) : Though I stop following pro bowl years ago
    beast (12h) : I thought the pro game was before the Super Bowl?
    packerfanoutwest (13h) : ok now for the Pro Bowl Game in Hawaii
    TheKanataThrilla (14h) : If I was Philly I would try to end it instead of punting it
    Mucky Tundra (14h) : VICTORY! We have (moral) victory!
    TheKanataThrilla (14h) : Hey they mentioned that we 3-peted
    Mucky Tundra (14h) : seems to me the 49ers should have traded Aiyuk when they had the chance
    Mucky Tundra (14h) : if the Eagles get it down to the 1, do they Tush Push or give it to Barkley?
    TheKanataThrilla (14h) : 49ers have a money problem if they want to sign their QB
    Mucky Tundra (14h) : Wait for real? Didn't he just get an extension two years ago?
    Zero2Cool (14h) : 49ers gonna trade Deebo. Interesting
    TheKanataThrilla (14h) : Replays always never seem to show the holdings
    TheKanataThrilla (15h) : Great throw by Hurts
    Mucky Tundra (15h) : Where Carter falls prey to bad off the field influences (to be clear, not saying he'd clip someone though)
    Mucky Tundra (15h) : Had Carter not gone to Philly were they already had a lot of old college friends, he ends up in a similar spot to Aaron Hernandez
    Mucky Tundra (15h) : I think some of his coaches told scouts to stay away
    Mucky Tundra (15h) : the street racing incident+conditioning and motivation problems
    beast (15h) : Then Carter was street racing, where the other car crashed and people died... and other teams were scared to pick Carter for some reason
    beast (15h) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick
    packerfanoutwest (15h) : wtf Barkley?
    TheKanataThrilla (15h) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good
    Mucky Tundra (15h) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them
    TheKanataThrilla (15h) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.
    Mucky Tundra (15h) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now
    Mucky Tundra (15h) : oh fuck me i messed that up
    Zero2Cool (15h) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall
    Zero2Cool (15h) : Carter was 9th overall
    Zero2Cool (15h) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back
    Zero2Cool (15h) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?
    Mucky Tundra (15h) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous
    Mucky Tundra (15h) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps
    TheKanataThrilla (15h) : And we could only wish to have this type of D
    TheKanataThrilla (15h) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D
    packerfanoutwest (15h) : another crap halftime show
    TheKanataThrilla (15h) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half
    Mucky Tundra (16h) : And with a Pass Rush that might as well be on a milk cartoon and no Jaire
    Martha Careful (16h) : I cant help but feel good about how well the Packers D played in Philly during the playoffs
    Mucky Tundra (16h) : this game is over
    Mucky Tundra (16h) : This might be the kill shot here
    Mucky Tundra (16h) : oh that's such a bad penalty for KC after getting the 3rd down stop
    TheKanataThrilla (16h) : Philly DL has come to play
    TheKanataThrilla (16h) : Ceoper DeJean with the INT scored...bad memories of draft night
    Mucky Tundra (16h) : ok scratch that
    Mucky Tundra (16h) : Game feels like last years Super Bowl: 49ers started off in control, moved the ball well but didn't have much of a lead to show for it
