Of course, this was never about simply going through some sort of slump.
There was some sort of paradigmatic shift happening: He just decided he wasn't going to execute the game plan, it was about sedition. Then he began to publicly toss his coach, team and individual players under the bus and who knows what he was doing in the lockerroom. Plus, there was turmoil in his personal life.
And Porforis still doesn't get it, he said in a post on Geronimo's pot that Geronimo was dumb. But, when you're all keyed up about trying to please trust boy, what can ya do? Ya go out to your car and spark a couple of stoggy spliffs. Rodgers is 100% responsible for Geronimo's problems [😂 😂 😂 [Porforis, just havin' some fun].
Outside coercion rarely motivates people to do right; it usually serves to entrench people and I think Rodgers is a stubborn SOB. I dont think threats from 1265 prompted an attitude for the better; I'd expect the opposite. His improvement in play corresponded with being universally excoriated by sports writers, former teammates and Dunne's article had to serve as a public embarrassment. I think it's causal, I think that is what did it.
And after 2 years of no turnaround, I'm not sure he'd have gotten a third, which might have been contingent on their perception of Hundley's ability to win a SB. I also wondered if Dunne's article was prompted by 1265 to prevent any Favre-like PR hit. Someone told Dunne where the bodies were buried.
As Doppelganger's #1 critic; I am satisfied to enamored with Aaron's play. His improved play, and I suspect attitude, has sparked the entire team. He said he had to play better at halftime of NY game, even though that hail mary was HOF stuff. This signals another paradigmatic shift back to Rodgers.
