I watched a green bay playoff game I think it was,against San Fran several years ago. I couldn’t believe how sluggish Rodgers was the first 2 quarters of the game. They lost, but would have won had Rodgers came out ready to play. He can do remarkable things, but he is no Tom Brady.

I lost respect for Rodgers and the nfl when they embraced the kneeling disrespect of the USA...


I lost respect for Rodgers when he had a public cat fight with his male “personal assistant” who was also his “room mate.” Shortly after that he began publicly dating female Hollywood starlets. I’m sure there’s no coincidence there.

He’ll probably be coaching in Cincinnati next year.

Reminds me of Marino. All he ever had were the two Marks.

Elway never won a championship either. Until he had Terrell Davis.

One of the first memories of my life was Garo’s ill-fated pass attempt in SB VII. My God, how I loved the NFL...

“Lombardi... A certain magic still lingers in the very name; it speaks of duels in the snow and cold November mud” John Facenda

And now...

If you want to secretly watch a game, I cannot point my finger at you, but if you come on THIS forum and talk about Rodgers being “great,” then you DO NOT LOVE YOUR COUNTRY ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!! Period.

About time. Wasted years & years of this great QBs prime. Horrible coach.

There are many problems. Whatever McCarthy's shortcomings he did win one championship and had them in the playoffs many times. They gave that huge contract to Rodgers and just like so many other teams who have to break the bank for the QB, there is nothing left to pay the other position players. See the Ravens... the Lions... Brady has restructured his contract numerous times. On the bright side Rodgers does have a couple good years left so there is hope for The Pack. A receiver, an RB, shore up the D and bingo.

Can the Lions fire Matt Patricia, already?

It hasn't even been one season yet!

I hope you didn’t mean me talking abour Rodgers being great because that is not what I meant at all.

I meant that his (Rodgers) defending the kneelers was the end of all my regard for him (Rodgers).

But he didn’t try to get traded.

I dont know.

What a shame.

The SB ring is everything.

As a (former) Cowboys fan I love to see the Pack fail miserably.

Agree on the kneeling.

Completely got it. Was talking about another guy on this thread who loves Rodgers more than he does his country.

I can’t stand pc pusi Rodgers....

and the putz has shunned his entire family all over an ex-gf.

Couldn’t even be bothered to show up for his grandfather’s funeral. A grandfather he use to call before every game.

He’s a piece of crap.

One of the few weaknesses that Rodgers has is that he does not read the defense as well as someone like Brady hence he is always scrambling around, for good sometimes, and for ill other times.

The constant scrambling also leads to him getting injured often. He needs to stay in the pocket more.

Yeah. It’s long been rumored that Rodgers is gay...

and that these famous gfs are just beards.

More often then not, the gay websites are right when it comes to this stuff.

Would be a good move on their part.

Only one coach in this NFL has a higher winning per cent. And he is in New England.

The ones who should have been fired are at the top of the office in GB.

McCarthy lost control of his team. There is the problem. The next coach is in for a rough ride and I dont see GB doing anything until they rid themselves of Rodgers and a few others.
