I know we complain about McCarthy a lot, but he does usually alter his gameplan to better suit his QB at that point.
That game where we played Matt Flynn against the Patriots after Rordgers went down comes to mind. We went toe to toe with one of the best teams in the league with some pretty impressive statistics. The game against Detroit where he set the single-game record for TDs was impressive as well.
And all that while Matt Flynn wasn't that impressive a QB.
Hundley was just an awful QB and I think that a guy like Bill Walsh or Bill Belicheck would've struggled to win games with him at the helm.
If there is ever a two game stretch to sit Rodgers and still come out with two wins, this is it.
The Redskins' stats look good on paper, but that's rather skewed. They've played what looks like the worst offense in football this year in the Cardinals and couldn't put up any points against the Colts. Peterson is the lead back, but is obviously done... Alex Smith is just begin Alex Smith and, while that defensive unit is decent, there's nothing really special about them.
And the Bills... Well... 31st in the league in offense, 31st in pass offensie, 26th on the ground, 32nd in points given up, 19th in yards... They've played two decent teams, but not world beaters. That's a team you should be able to take on with Kizer, Williams/Jones combo, good coaching and a little help from the defense.
If there's any chance of aggrivating that injury, I'd sit Rodgers for the next to weeks. We should be able to go 2-0 and have a perfectly healthy Rodgers for the rest of the season. A limping Aaron could have a real bad time against the 49ers, Rams, Pats etc.
