I have been saying it since before the regular season started.
AR will not be a successful( as far as wins-losses)qb for Green Bay with the current management and coaching staff that is in place.
They were so worried about AR's stats, with the comparison to Brett Favre, that they forgot The Packers needed to win the close games.
It has been posted almost every losing week, "you can't blame AR for this loss, look at his stats, he played a great game."
I am not blaming AR for anything, I tend not to "put the blame" on any one player, in the end IT IS THE COACHING STAFF who have to take responsibility.
Way to conservative in their play calling, how many times this year have The Packers either got an early lead or came back from a deficit, only to start playing"not to lose" ball, leading to another defeat?
Some of you tend to focus on the last 2-5 minutes of a ball game, when it seems The Packers could never either put the ball into the endzone and settled for a FG, or couldn't stop the other team from scoring.
Go back and look at most of those close games and you will see where The Packers were in close games at the end because they would not let the offense continue, early in the game,what they did best which was move the ball through the air.
This is a 60 minute game, games are not won and loss on the last drives, they are just finished off.
I would have much rather seen AR with 30-35 tds even if it meant he had 18-20 interceptions, I am betting The Packers would have more than 5 wins at this point.
Ted Thompson and MM next year don't try and protect your QB's stats, let him show what he can do for a full 60 minutes, I bet the W-L record will be a lot better.
I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!
