DMan77 Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Aaron Rodgers is an amazing QB. We all know that. His list of records and awards is lengthy... But what about Green Bay's overall history with him at the helm? If I told you that Sam and the Jets would end up with the exact same history as the Packers since 2008, would you be happy or bummed?...There's a Super Bowl in there! And a bunch of Playoff Football!... But with how good he is it sometimes just feels like there should be more. This is probably just the greedy side of me, but if you get lucky enough to hit on a hall of fame QB, shouldn't you want more for the time he's there? 2008 - 6-10 2009 - 11-5, Loss in WC 2010 - 10-6 Super Bowl Champions. 2011 - 15-1, Loss in Divisional 2012 - 11-5, Loss Divisional 2013 - 8-7, (Rodgers missed 7 games), Loss in WC 2014 - 12-4, Loss in NFC Championship 2015 - 10-6, Loss in Divisional 2016 - 10-6, Loss in NFC Championship 2017 - 7-9, (4-1 before Rodgers is injured) 2018 - 5-8 to date.

ChuckkieB Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 I'll take 8 playoff appearances in 11 years and a SB win every day and twice on Sunday.!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bla bla bla Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 There should be more but that goes to show you how much football is a team game. You could have the best QB ever and only have one ring. I'd gladdly take the last 10 years of Green Bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patriot Killa Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Now ask yourself this question. Who is more likely to lead a turnaround of that magnitude? Jim Harbaugh or Matt LaFleur, DeFillippo, ect? even if you believe neither will. Who do you believe in more? Lol ok then let’s go get that guy.

T0mShane Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 I think what the league needs to do is exempt a percentage of QB salaries from counting against the cap because it’s ludicrous to have an elite QB go out on a football field every week with cut-rate guards, tackles, and receivers because the team can no longer afford to pay anyone else. Teams shouldn’t be financially punished for drafting and developing an elite QB when they’re ready to compete for titles. It’s stupid and rewards bad teams for not being able to find a decent QB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I get 1 before I die, Jets have exceeded expectations. This question could go for any of about 25 teams I feel... It's a question you could basically ask a fan of any team I think.. "You will have a record setting, arguably top 5 QB in the history of the NFL. You will win 1 Super Bowl. How do you feel?" And I'm not saying the answer to that question is "good!" or "bad!"... I can understand why asking the question in the first place maybe leans towards me criticizing Rodger's and the Packers results, but that's not the case. I'm just interested to hear people's thought processes and such. It's fun to see how people tick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlito1171 Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Same thing can be said about Brees.....Peyton as well...his defense carried him to his 2nd SB win It hard to win the SB. Pats have made it look easy because they cheat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenwichjetfan Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Look up his effeciency scores and his impact on the playoff games. Spoiler alert: he’s still a God. The only game that you could convincingly argue would have been blamed on him if they lost was the NFCCG the year they won the super bowl. He was bad that game, but his team got him out of there with a W. Every other playoff game in his career including all of the losses, he’s given the Packers everything they needed to win the games. Ultimately, football is the ultimate team game, so just as we’ve never seen Brady or Peyton or Brees get to and win a SB without a top 10 defense, ARod even in God mode still can’t do everything himself. This further reinforces the idea that we need to get talent on the field and coaches who will help maximize and realize that talent. Sam is the most important piece, but he’s still only 1 piece of the puzzle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do franchises stress, fight, hope, pray, and wish so hard for a franchise QB that once they get him they rest on his laurels? I mean as a few people have pointed out they sometimes get handcuffed with high salaries, which doesn't help. Anyway it's hard to win a SB! Maybe if one or two plays go differently during any of those seasons and Rodgers ends up with a whole collection of trophies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munchmemory Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Watching yesterday, Rodgers once again shined a glaring beacon of light on our putrid defense and coaches, especially Bowles. Wasn't this guy some guru of defense? Again, 44 points put up against our defense. We blow a 14 point 4th quarter lead. Give up a long drive for the tie. Then an easy two point conversion. And finally after another long drive in overtime, allow Rodgers to hit a wide open receiver going across the end zone for the win. LMFAO! Defense: YOU SUCK!!

Rangers9 Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Sam came close to matching Rodgers and could have come away with that W. Was he facing a better D than Rodgers and better coaching? Their DC is Pettine our former DC. Our skill position players yesterday played well as did theirs. The refs yesterday were not shy calling PI etc esp at important moments in the game. We lost it because of that but tell me one of those calls that was not legit holding, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d much rather some experience after further consideration. I think some good coaches will follow if he got the job. with all this said, unless he is ever canned, I don’t see him leaving. He’s neighbors with his aging parents and he’s really settled in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
