The dilemma Rodgers also faces is that not only are some of the younger players lacking in abilities, they are lacking in professionalism. ESPN.com's Rob Demovsky reported that Lacy, the night before the miraculous win against the Lions, missed curfew.

This is what Rodgers has had to deal with. Some of the talent around him has been unreliable, inconsistent and lacking the understanding of what it means to be a pro. Other than that, it's been wonderful.

The biggest question is how long can Rodgers keep this up. There is only so much even his Jessica Jones-like abilities can usurp. In the recent history of the sport, and when looking at Super Bowl-caliber teams, only Brady's early Super Bowl squads compare to the lack of star power that Rodgers is playing with now.
