Perhaps lost amongst my much written about angst over Bob Sanders is the unbelievable admiration I have for Aaron Rodgers and his incredible display of gamesmanship yesterday. I know Rodgers has stated that Favre’s streak had nothing to do with his determination to play yesterday, but come on. You know it’s in the back of his head. Indeed, it’s in the back of everyone’s mind as we watch the beginning of the Rodgers era.
Not only did Rodgers play but he played well. Yes, he threw an inexcusable interception at the end of the game. But as I wrote several times this offseason - there will be bumps in the road. The key is for Rodgers to learn from the big mistake and then not repeat it.
But overall, Rodgers has been one of the more consistent performers on a team that is suddenly quite erratic. Here’s hoping McCarthy can get the rest of the team performing at a higher level to take some of the pressure off Rodgers, because right now, he IS the offense.
