Just because ARodg is the quarterback for the the Packers doesn't mean we all need to love and defend him. I think he's a good QB, but too much is being made of his young career. He definitely has a nice passer rating so far, but I think that is also a result of holding onto the ball too long and not throwing the smart incompletion or taking enough chances and getting rocked in the process. The pass pro isn't very good, but ARodg could also take some pressure off of himself with getting rid of the ball earlier. His sacks are definitely a combo of bad line play and him holding onto the ball too long. What I see (and this is all personal opinion) is a QB that isn't very confident and is tightening his asshole more and more every week. I think the pressure has gotten too him and he def needs to loosen up as a player. He is afraid of making mistakes, and that's the kiss of death for a qb.
As for the play calling argument - The play calling might not be the best, but we have no idea what's going on behind the scenes and what went down on Wednesday's practice, or what they saw on film, etc. I think placing the blame on the play calling is presumptive and pure conjecture. Its not as easy saying "throw a slant".
Favre is better than Rodgers.
The Vikings have a pretty damn good D - the Packers do not.
The Vikings have a much better running back and o-line.
Vikings have a better return game.
It isn't a surprise that the Packers lost to the Vikings twice this season. They are a year away from going 6-10, first year in the 3-4 defense, and ARodg has yet to beat a team with a winning record.
