And what is the difference between smart fans and stupid fans is forgetting this is a team game.
Listen, we always like to say "brady brady brady" but A. the man rarely gets us into situations where we need come-from-behind wins. Considering the defense has often given a lot of those game up after he gets the points is what hurts and B. He has worse receivers than Brady does currently. If Aaron had a gronk do you think he wouldn't always just check down to him? Edeleman isn't so shabby either.
My point is this: Really exam that last drive. He gets the completions, no real gain. He is blitz and almost taken out each drive. Keeps it alive. He ROLLS OUT and davante adams does a TERRIBLE cut relative to the defender. No completion.
This is a team game, gentlemen. Brady is always going to have his stats because he has his players. Aaron did and he is getting them back, ever so surely. We need our o-line and defense to really get back to week 1 play. If that happens no hater will have a chance to say anything, that is, to one of the GOATs

YES! IT IS A TEAM GAME, that’s my main criticism of Rodgers. Rodgers is a horrible teammate. A good teammate trusts his fellow mates, plays his role and NEVER subjects a mate to media criticism.
Watch Ryan on the last drive, he stood in the pocket like a man doing his job as part of a TEAM. He trusted his OL, though they are not as good as GB’s, because that is what TEAMMATES do and yes he got rapped on chin a few times, but that’s why he’s Matty Ice and Rodgers is frigid Aaron.
The difference between Aaron Rodgers and #12 today is look at the drive right b4 half. On the throw to Jordy, Rodgers stood in pocket like a man, like he used to, and fired a perfect strike to Nelson, who had about 6” of separation. If Rodgers didn’t make the throw every moron in the world would have been saying, “No one was open.” Nelson was not open for Mark Sanchez; but he was open for the real Aaron Rodgers or any other elite QB. #12 has the ability to play like Aaron Rodgers anytime he wants to; he just chooses too often not to.
Think about this: our pass rush is better than Atl’s; our OL is better at pass protection; Rodgers is much more elusive than Ryan; yet, Atl had 3 sacks, we had 2. Just doesn’t make sense.
And in the press conference a real MAN would have said, “that last throw was on me, I should have given Adams a chance to get it.” Instead anti-leader, anti-team mega-wussy searches to blame others. Who else gives PCs like this? Jay Effing Cutler. ON Rodgers’ PC…I SAY, “same ol’e Jay!” Rodgers explanation was also a lie, pure BS. When you have a broken/scramble play a QB doesn’t anticipate where the receiver is going; he throws to him.
