No one will ever be able to fairly criticize AR's arm talent.

Probably the most amazing thrower of the football the NFL's ever seen.

That was a remarkable, well placed throw to MVS and, a great route and catch by Valdes -Scantling as well.

Loved the clip, it really shows the great pocket and time for Aaron to make that throw and for that route to develop courtesy of the O-Line.

And agree, Aaron made throws Sunday night that very few quarterbacks could make!

37 seconds left in the game, a lot of yards to go to get a big win and that man was as cool and precise as anyone could have ever imagined.

GPG!

"Stop worrying about Aaron Rodgers"

Um. OK.

Rodgers is probably the best passer I have ever seen and that goes back to Joe Namath and Sonny Jurgenson days.
I’ve also learned that at the end of the day….the best passer doesn’t alway win the game.

Yep, I have to admit that I called to question just how focused A Rodg would be after a very “unorthodox”offseason. Dude is an alien 👽 unbelievable talent!
I’m just going to enjoy it while he’s in GB!

Yosh and Cole Van Lanen are the key to the Packers OL in 2022. Yes, that is correct!

One game doesn't make a player but I was pretty impressed with Yosh. I re-played the game a 2nd time exclusively focusing on Yosh. Far from perfect but he did very well. With more playing time experience he might be starting quality. At 25 years old the Packers appear to have a player who will be around for a number of more years.

We all know Turner at RT is gone next year. I'm guessing Jenkins never returns to Guard as the Packers have a significant number of talented young guards who will continue to develop. With the salary cap, I see Jenkins becoming the full-time RT with Yosh the LT backup. The Packers need 4 OT's, so Cole Van Lanen's (23 years old) development is going to be very important in 2022 because if the team believes he is a quality player Gute can focus his attention in 2022 on the DL, and LB positions. Yosh and Cole are the critical pieces to the OL that is young and talented because should they be legitimate and quality players the Packers are completely set at OL once they resign Jenkins.

Maybe its just me, but I find the theme of this article unsettling. The article implies that Rodgers was the reason Green Bay won the game. Rodgers did play very well and was one of the primary contributors, but this was a TEAM win. Many contributed including the offensive and defensive lines who played their best games of the season, Without everyone else playing at a high level, Rodgers doesn't win the game with his play.

And the hero who won the game was Mason Crosby with an unbelievable 51 yard field goal on the last play.

I wasn’t aware that anyone was suggesting that Rodgers had lost his physical talent. The questions were about whether his absence from the preseason impacted him and if his mind was focused. I think it’s clear that he was rusty and perhaps needed the cold shower that was game one. Sunday’s performance would seem to indicate that he was rusty and perhaps did need to remember that he is fallible.

He looks like he wreaks of cigarettes in that picture. I'm sure he's doing that look ironically.

he may have played a brilliant game, but I think he relies on DA too much...last years NFC Championship game, and I just don't like his diva attitude and his press conference on his return. He lost me as a fan at that point and will never get it back. .Packer fan for over 60 years

Like I keep telling all Packers fans in public forums, enjoy the ride. If this organization is truly stupid enough to trade that player away, it will likely be one of the last times you see QB talent like that in GB.

Players like this are freakish rare, and they sure don't look like our current backup that so many were clambering for. Aaron Rodgers is a very gifted dude, and it's been so much fun to watch that talent in Green Bay. Hope they find a way to have him finish his career in GB, and put a defense on the field.

If the front office put as much attention into building a proper defense, as they do in hacking off the HOF MVP QB they have on the roster, we'd be playing for a championship annually.

Rodgers is flipping awesome. That game was a legend!

It's about Aaron Rodgers being coachable.
If it's fourth-and-goal at the one yard line, who makes the decision as to whether to go for a touchdown or a field goal?
If in the key moments of a game, our head coach decides something our quarterback doesn't like, is our quarterback going to truly go along with the decision of our head coach?
***
Last week, when things we're looking bleak, I said I would go with Rodgers this season through thick and thin if he's really on board with our head coach, Matt LaFleur.
This week, when thinks are looking rosy, I would trade Rodgers today if he's not really on board with our head coach, Matt LaFleur.
I don't expect the relationship between Rodgers and LaFleur to be perfect, but Rodgers for the most part has to be ready and willing to do whatever his head coach wants him to do.
If in the last minute of the fourth quarter on a win-or-lose play, LaFleur draws up a play for MVS or Lazard instead of Davante, Rodgers can't pass over it.
If LaFleur says hand off the ball to Jones or Dillon, Rodgers has to run with it.
***
I don't know the situation between Rodgers and LaFleur. Maybe it's great. I sincerely hope so.
However, if it isn't, at some point LaFleur has to draw a line. He can't sell out his integrity. It's not good for him, not good for Rodgers, not good for the team.
At some point, a dysfunction between quarterback and head coach would cause us the must crushing heartbreak.
I'm not going to get on a roller coaster from week to week this season going up and down breathlessly with the enigma of Aaron Rodgers, trying to decipher his cryptic remarks and to analyze his expressions.
I've been rooting for Rodgers all along, but I'm not going with him at any cost. I'll live with some interceptions, but not with insubordination.
Again, if Rodgers has truly come around from his apparent arrogance of the offseason, then I'll stick with him loyally.
If his astounding excellence and clutch performance this past Sunday night only emboldens Rodgers to be more stubborn and bossy, then let's trade him while he's hot -- as of now.

The Rodgers haters are still hanging on in the comment section I see. Although less then before. Wonder how many games into the season they’ll hold on. Ya he’s great but….but butt his man bun bothers me..wah.

Cory - I was never worried about Aaron Rodgers. I knew that if he returned to the Packers that he would play well just like he has over his entire career.

If he retired he retires. That was his call. If the Packers traded him that was their call. Once he decided to return I had no doubt him on the field. I wasn’t worried about him subverting the coach because he has never done that, he has never tanked a game or a season, he has played through injuries when he could have sat down and he has always been a good team mate.

The idea that everything would change because he blew off the OTAs after 16 seasons in the league was totally overblown and a lack of understanding of what he was doing and a lack of appreciation for what he means and has meant to the team.

As I posted in the past and during this latest off- season, Rodgers is the last player on the team we need to be worried. We should be lucky enough to have 53 that play their positions as well as he plays QB. Thanks, Since ‘61

This is the bottom line: If Rodgers has enough protection to do his job, there’s a real good chance that he’ll put 30+ points on the board. Even if guys are injured, even on the road, even against good teams, even if he throws to one guy too much, even if the refs are boning us. We get to 30.

We always win when we hit 30 and have less than 4 turnovers. Stretching back over our last 21 games, to the start of last season, we’re 14-0 when we hit 30 and don’t have multiple turnovers.

As long as we get adequate blocking, nobody is going to stop this offense.

I did not worry about Rodgers. But I was upset with all the off-season noise. I did not like what I was hearing from pundits. I always feel that miscommunication is a two way street and often both sides have responsibilities to get it right. I don’t see a drop off in his play or his relationships in the locker room. He cares about his teammates and the team. He disagrees with some of the decisions from the front office. He made that known and I was mad that he did. But he has that right and I had the right to fuss about it. Since then, he had made his opinions clear and I respect that.

This article provides an excellent analysis and appreciation of Aaron Rodgers' other-worldly skills as one of the greatest QBs of all time. (It is hardly important or insightful to state with any certainty that he's No.1 or No.2 - you cannot compare a Rodgers to a Brady to a Montana or to a Starr since each player was part of a specific team with a unique roster of players working with a different coach and competing in a different era - try running that through a supercomputer to get a definitive result that can separate out the hundreds of variables that would affect any ultimate ranking of QBs, notwithstanding the arbitrary categories used in the NFL QB rating equation!)

But Mr. Jennerjohn should not be worried about the limited capacity of certain fans to understand that Aaron Rodgers is a highly intelligent, deeply introspective individual and hence their "worry" that his offseason internal debate over whether to return to a team that is anxious to terminate his services has affected his desire and ability to play the game at the highest level. AR12's extraordinary skills as a QB are a combination of natural physical and mental gifts (strong arm, ability to throw with high accuracy, quick reads of opposing defenses). None of these things is affected by how much time he spent in Hawai'i with his fiancé and friends or whether he is studying Buddhist or other philosophical/wellness texts as part of his attempt at spiritual growth.

As I have mentioned many times with respect to the lunatic class of anti-Rodgers (I wonder what the overlap would be with anti-Vaxxers and MAGA J6 deniers, but I have tried to assure Aaron Nagler that I will try not to bring politics into these discussions), Brian Gutekunst's reckless, premature, and destructive choice of Jordan Love has set in motion a disastrous scenario in which Rodgers will almost certainly be playing for another NFL team next season. While Mr. Nagler and other Gutekunst party faithful will try to argue that the latter was simply trying to avoid a Ben Rothlisberger situation where a team is saddled with a legendary QB one season too many, this argument falls apart when one looks at the careers of Brady, Elway, and Peyton Manning - the latter who still won a Super Bowl with a badly damaged neck and diminished passing velocity. Rothlisberger was NEVER a QB with the kind of skill set that these GOAT-like QBs displayed and it was already evident last year (despite starting off with an 11-0 record) that Big Ben was not performing at the same level as before his arm surgery.)

Gutekunst panicked with his decision to draft Jordan Love (setting in motion a clear succession scenario) which has resulted in the PREMATURE termination of Rodgers' tenure with the Packers. Given that AR12 is still performing at GOAT level (the last two games have shown that there may never have been another NFL QB who is capable of the kind of throws that he made against Detroit and the kind of lightning comeback he mounted against the Niners last Sunday (which even a Joe Mantana, John Elway, Peyton Manning, or even Brett Favre would have had trouble duplicating), it is pure INSANITY that Rodgers will NOT be playing for Green Bay over the next two or three seasons during which one would expect him to perform with Brady-like consistency of excellence barring a major injury.

AR12 had already served notice that he wanted to play out his career with the Packers but Brian Gutekunst decided he would try to apply the simplistic and statistically non-comparable Favre-Rodgers transition scenario equation (largely occasioned by Favre's intimations of pending retirement and NOT by physical decline) to the present. This utterly fallacious reasoning will likely result in the precipitous decline of the Packers beginning next season - admittedly I am assuming that Rodgers will be gone - that will also likely see Adams and MVS depart for greener pastures (pardon the pun). If this takes place, then the legacy of Brian Gutekunst will be the wholly unnecessary premature dismantling of the Rodgers era. That is the reality that should be the most urgent (beginning next season) object of Packers' fans' reflection. I am hoping that Rodgers will lead the Packers to a Super Bowl victory this year so he can engage in the ultimate form of schadenfreude and bid farewell to Gozer Gutekunst the Destructor.
