That's what fans have been saying, but players say you don't build that chemistry in OTA's, so I dunno. Some were also saying not having Aaron Rodgers there made it easier for rookies. I also thought I read somewhere that Rodgers was calling/texting the guys things throughout the off-season to help with expectations and things to focus on. I can't recall where though, or if it was in an interview.

Yes, QB was enjoying a ayahuasca retreat in 2020. Did he do it again this off-season? Anyway, Tom Brady was recruiting guys like Julio Jones via Instagram and our QB was getting high. Wild world lol

Rodgers built and destroyed team chemistry by walking into the cafeteria and telling Favre, Hi Grandpa"! He patched it back up in the classroom by giving Favre his notes. You build chemistry everywhere doing everything.

Okay, so you're referring to just buddy buddy chemistry. I thought we were talking, you know, actual on-field chemistry. But hey, what I know is BS so what teh fuck ever.

I am more than aware teams run vanilla O & D in the PS. Nevertheless there are still a lot of things they can work on. These are professionals. If they and their coaching staffs can't think of anything that will improve the team by scrimmaging against real competition then they should not be in the NFL. For example, timing is something they can work on. Even if it's not a formation they will use. Aaron can throw the ball to a receiver in practice at half speed with no defenders getting up in their grill but they haven't really learned anything have they? Even if it's preseason Aaron can learn the tendencies of the WR when they are pressured. The formation may not look the same but a go route is a go route. It may be vanilla on teh LOS but it's not vanilla when the receiver sprints down field or cuts in after 10 yards.

Aaron Rodgers said it is meaningless to play a handful of snaps or one series in the preseason. He said they should play for at least a quarter or two to get rhythm and for to have an impact. Sounds like he's saying if I play, you gotta play us so it's meaningful, not just to say we played in the preseason. Meanwhile, the coaching staff is like -- nope.

If I tell you one, you'll just say it's the exception, not the rule. I don't think they need to be buddy buddy to be successful. Does it help? I certainly think so, but not required. In my opinion, they need live reps at full speed. If that comes with joint practices, live scrimmages, preseason, whatever it is, that's what I think helps QB and WR mesh the best. Even if they hate one another one. They are professionals so off-field shouldn't trump on-field chemistry, unless one of them sleeps with the others wife/girlfriend or both.
