[...] Rodgers chooses not to slide and gets a concussion Some people pin last week’s loss to the Lions on Aaron Rodgers. They say his decision to not slide was selfish and he is now a “concussion prone [...]

Funny- Same thing happened to Jackson in the game vs. Atlanta, but everyone wanted his head on a stick..

True.

The only player that actually improved in that line is Sitton, but that might be his natural ability.

Maybe everyone’s just not talented.
But chances are that if 10 guys aren’t getting it done and aren’t imrpoving, it’s the position coach.

It is painfully obvious to everyone but McCarthy that Campen is accomplishing nothing. Someone actually COACHES these guys??? Spitz hasn’t gotten any better in three years. Ditto Colledge, whose only strong point is his availability, and now that’s gone too. I think they just stick Clifton out there and hope for the best. I worry that Bulaga’s potential will be severely sapped after getting ‘coached’ by this team for a year or two. Bob Sanders’ firing came a year too late, Campen’s is already two years late and counting.

I dont blame Starks. Everytime he touched the ball there was already one or two guys in his face

Disagree. Guy not listening to his coaches maybe.

How about the coach protect the QB, with, you know, passing patterns that work, so he doesn’t have to take off?

How about the OL not blocking anyone, forcing Rodgers to take off?

How about the receivers actually catching the balls, not making it a 0-0 game, and forcing Rodgers to take off?

If the game isn’t so close, Rodgers slides. If the offense is at any rythm, if they’re not getting 3rd and longs because the stupidass coach can’t figure out the team can’t run, Rodgers doesn’t have to make something out of nothing.

Should Rodgers have slided? Yes.

But it’s a freaking cheap shot to blame the loss on a guy that was injuried trying to save his coach and his teammates’ asses.

CHEAP SHOT.

Eh, you take the good with the bad. This game was clearly not won by Rodgers, but you can’t shoulder the loss solely on him. Was the non-slide stupid? Yes. But so was Jennings dropping a potential touchdown and Flynn throwing straight to DeAndre Levy. Both plays had a huge impact on the outcome of the game and occurred because of a split second decision that ended up going awry, much like Rodgers not sliding. To be honest, the whole offense looked like it was to blame for today’s loss, as nice as it would be to blame one person.

I wouldn’t say he’s an idiot, but he definitely made a very STUPID decision not to slide. I don’t understand why he feels the need to prove he is tough – he is the franchise quarterback and needs to protect himself a lot better than he did today. It basically cost us the game by having to put in Flynn.

That last part about blaming Rodgers was satire, right?

So much fail to go around but I agree. Rodgers is an idiot.

YES!!! he’s a dumbass for not sliding. His job at that point is to get the first, get as much as you can safely, and get the fuck down. That was at least as dumb as Jennings forgetting to catch the ball earlier in the game.

Alex — Sun, 12 Dec 2010 21:10:50 +0000

Yep, he knows better. No different than throwing a pick. Not the first time he has been told. You know you are the key to this team, protect yourself.

Really? You blame Rodgers? I mean, REALLY? You are actually blaming a guy for getting more rushing yards than all his rbs combined, and for getting injuried?
