Popular Post Gaffneycatch81 Posted August 15 Popular Post Share Posted August 15 Mangini has always been a “get in line” kinda guy. For a lot of players that works pretty well, and sometimes an organization in chaos really needs that. But to get to the next level, a coach needs to be open minded enough to also learn to accept, work with, and even appreciate the guys that march to the beat of a different drummer. Having personality and being a bit weird is ok as long as it’s within a secure structure. I don’t think Mangini ever figured that out. 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggs Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 The reason to be skeptical about Rodgers is the Packers actually are a high quality NFL organization and couldn't wait to unload him. With an unheralded QB they were significantly better than they were with Rodgers. Rodgers state of mind only becomes a problem if he continues to come up small in big spots. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post RedBeardedSavage Posted August 15 Popular Post Share Posted August 15 They just handle things entirely differently - Mangini has always been guarded, corporate and "old school". Rodgers has always been an outspoken California weirdo. But ehh, Mangini can't play quarterback, so he's useless. Win us games, Aaron, and I won't care about the drama. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty hard to listen to a guy, preaching about what is, or isn't productive to win football games, when that guy has a 33-47 W/L record (.413) as a head coach. Eric Mangini's Head coaching record - Google Search Take the article for what it is - which isn't much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And working for a national troll like Colin Cowherd, no less. Strange times It's pretty much a prerequisite to hate Rodgers to go on that show, too. Not that I necessarily even disagree with a lot of those takes, but the anti-Rodgers sentiment from Cowherd (who predicted Sam Darnold and Adam Gase would be hosting the AFC Title Game at MetLife) is overwhelming. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dcat Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 Mangini is clearly clueless about the absolute love affsir between the rest of the players and Rodgers. What a doofus. Just watch the practices Eric.

Integrity28 Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 He’s effectively saying that Rodgers creates weird, unnecessary off-field distractions. This has been true, historically. He’s saying it puts winning at risk. Some would argue that Rodgers should have bagged more rings. So, also on the true side. You guys should attack the message, not the messenger. It doesn’t matter if Mangini said it or if it came from the ghost of John Madden. It’s a valid concern. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know I just fact checked myself on this. Favre's stat line during the 1-4 collapse: 98 of 175 (56%) for 1011 yards (5.77 YPA.) 2 TDs, 9 INTs -- 55.2 passer ratings. I think Kellen Clemens is actually better than that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerfish Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 The problem with Rodgers is that he is the teflon don. Any success in his career personal or team wise has been characterized as being due to him. Not one thing that has ever one wrong has been his fault. And for a guy that talks about distractions and only football he has more distraction baggage than any player in the league over time. He looks good in camp so I am hopeful he can actually stay healthy and lead the team to good things but I do not like him at all as a person. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some would argue that Rodgers should have bagged more rings. So, also on the true side. This one I'm less convinced by. Rodgers has been in the playoffs almost every year of his career when he played every game (I think 2008 and 2022 are the only two exceptions to that). The Packers had a bunch of winning seasons/division titles/top seeds during AR's tenure there. AR only has one SB ring because of some brutal playoff losses that seem unrelated to his bizarre off the field controversies (which tend to make headlines in the spring and summer). My contention is that the best critiques of Rodgers are football related and have nothing to do with him being an anti-vax, conspiracy weirdo. The media spends waaaay too much time talking about stuff that doesn't really matter. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the one game they won in those last 5 required the Shaun Ellis miracle defensive touchdown when the Bills inexplicably decided to throw a pass instead of just handing the ball off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
