Vic, I know there are people out there who don’t truly
appreciate the things No. 12 is doing. Fortunately, I am not in
that category. I think we may be watching Jordan in his prime.
Time to enjoy the ride.
I don’t think there’s anyone who doesn’t truly appreciate
Rodgers’ greatness. I’ve been covering football for 44 years and
I’ve never seen a better quarterback. He sees more of the field
than any quarterback I’ve ever watched. He was reading the
Chiefs’ sideline last night. He saw their sub packages getting
ready to come into the game and he knew what the Chiefs were
going to do before they did it, and he was doing all of that as
he was listening to his sideline talk to him in his helmet
communicator. I think he’s the most intelligent quarterback
that’s ever played the game.
<b>...and counting opponents with too many men on the field and
drawing opponents off-side for free plays, etc, etc...</b>

Let me know when Rodgers wins 6 Super Bowls.

Wayne from Green Bay, WI
I’m no coach, but why would any team play man to man with a
single-high safety, unless they have two shutdown corners? Rush
four and flood passing lanes has been the best formula for
slowing down Rodgers for a while now.
It’s because defenses fear the run more than they do the pass. I
said that back in 2012 and ’13. Defensive coordinators live in
fear of having the ball jammed down their throat all day. Eddie
Lacy has been a game-changer for Aaron Rodgers and the Packers
offense. He’s opened the field. If you can’t stop the run, you
can’t stop anything. Only a few teams can stop the run and get
pressure with four. Most defenses have to pick their poison, and
those defenses will usually pick the run poison.

I get it, one of the best to ever play the position, playing the
best he has ever played.

Jesse from Bethlehem, PA
Kaepernick and the 49ers confuse me so far, Vic. They looked
great in Week 1, but a little listless the past few weeks. What
do you expect to see from them this weekend?
I expect to see the best they have to give. They had
back-to-back bad days in Pittsburgh and Phoenix. They’ll be at
home on Sunday, and they’ll be focused to even their record and
stay in touch with the rest of the league.

Can you say deja vu?
The Green Bay Packers offense again was eerily similar (in a
good way) to the results of the previous week’s game against the
Seahawks.
I would say that the Chiefs and Seahawks defenses were similar
in that they both attempted to pressure Aaron Rodgers with
strong edge rushes. Tamba Hali and Justin Houston both worked
hard to rattle Aaron but he is just unflappable.
Rodgers, instead, loves the challenge. I’m pretty certain that
he would feel bored if there was no pressure against him. Aaron
thrives on the competition. The better the competition, the
better he plays.
Aaron’s performance on Monday Night was nothing but
amazing/extraordinary/epic/fill-in the blank superlative.
So how could Aaron Rodgers have received a negative grade from
Pro Football Focus (PFF) for his efforts against the Kansas City
Chiefs.
<b>AR was rated 37th QB with a -0.8. Yeah, that's -0.8. That's
just below Blake Bortles @-0.7. LMAO.</b>
Aaron throws 24/35 for 333 yards with five TDs and zero INTs
(again) which turned into an ESPN QBR of 78.0 (which I am still
not sure how it is calculated) or a 138.5 RAT (which trailed
only Kellen Clemens‘ RAT of 150.0 which was earned on throwing a
whole six passes)

When the grades came out today, you wouldn’t have expected to
find Rodgers’ name at the bottom of the QB list – with an
overall negative grade of -0.8, sitting in the same company as
Teddy Bridgewater, Nick Foles, Blake Bortles and Jameis Winston.
In fact, of the quarterbacks rated above Rodgers on the list are
Andy Dalton, Marcus Mariota, Tyrod Taylor, Derek Carr and a
hapless Ryan Mallett.
When asked why the two-time league MVP and 5-touchdown (to zero
interception) guy was given such an awful grade, the analysts
responded by saying that the formula takes into account all
plays demonstrated on the football field, even the two that
won’t show up on the stat line.
Yes, they are referring to a fumble in the 2nd quarter which was
negated because of a penalty down the field. They said that
Rodgers’ fumble showed “poor pocket management” and counted
negatively on his overall performance.
The other slight?
A near interception thrown in the third quarter, which was
dropped and called an incompletion. Rodgers said that he “just
didn’t see him (Josh Muaga)” and it was a close call that went
the Packers’ way.
So – PFF, I pose this followup question to you: TWO plays,
neither of which negatively impacted the offense or the game in
any way, are what you’re going by here?
Rodgers tossed 24 completions against just 9 incompletions, 5 of
those went for touchdowns, none wound up in the hands of the
opponent. His cadence drew multiple offsides penalties, one
resulting in a huge TD catch by James Jones, another a huge
completion down the field to set up another TD. He collected a
whopping 139-passer rating, far and away the best in the league,
week three.
But a fumble and an interception that wasn’t – made that great
an impact?
Well … I guess the Packers should just trade him away now.
What’s the use in wasting all that money on a guy that grades
out like Blake Bortles against the defending SB champion,
Patriots?
Go home, ProFootballFocus.
You are clearly, drunk.
