I still would be shocked if he wasn't playing for the Packers this year. I don't see him sitting out and getting fined all that money. I think he plays out the year, and if they don't win the Superbowl, the Packers will be more likely to trade him to a team with a top 5 draft pick, so they can rebuild with Jordan Love, or potentially with one of the premiere QB talents in the draft.

Woah woah woah I'm straight as an arrow (a GOOD arrow, mind you) and I look like an authentic homeless all the time. Even now, despite having showered I have a scraggly big beard and my hair is too long and going in all directions.
Thank you for sharing your grooming habits. I’m impressed as a straight male.

The OLine isn't as great as you make it out to be. It's Aaron that makes the line look better than what it is. Same thing Brees, Manning, Brady all have done in their lifetime. Put a different QB behind that line, and it wouldn't look anywhere near as good
I agree with your premise for (mostly) different reasons. I don't think their OLine is as good as advertised because they're only that good because holding isn't called. Hopefully now that the Bears have a highly marketable potential superstar QB (get ready for the State Farm commercials, because they're coming- if this dude takes care of business on the field, avoids major injuries, and plays his cards right off-the-field and with endorsements, he could very well earn 3/4 of a billion dollars over his career), maybe the Bears will be able to get away with that level of holding on every play as well. It sure would be nice to have the Packers fans have to put up with that level of bullshit that we do.

Now your point about Rodgers making that oline better is also valid- Rodgers is a first-ballot future HOF'er, so yeah, he's likely to take advantage of all that time those grabbed jerseys causes.

Ok yeah...that was stupid too. You should always let Rodgers have the ball. I don't think that merits asking for a trade. I think drafting Love without telling him is the more egregious thing here, but that happened last year. Should've asked for a trade last year.
I don't see how drafting a QB is so egregious and didn't Rodgers find himself on the other side of that scenario when Packers drafted him while Favre still had years to go? If a team waits til the starter is done before finding a replacement, all would call them stupid. Don't see the problem in attempting to have a quality backup who could take the reigns one day. Rodgers is just a hypocritical soppy pussy.

A great O line, one legit Wr and a good RB is not enough talent.
That's why the NFL makes exhaling in Rodgers direction a personal foul and the referees are instructed that anything less than a headlock takedown shalt not be deemed holding by the Packers OL.

i guess i just can’t see a way how it’s easy to scheme against an offense with a very good OL and run game as well aaron rodgers. mediocre skill positions or not, that was the #1 offense in football and they played to their strengths. they’re a run first team that play action passes off of it to great success. they had a very good OL and they lean on it.

you can’t really scheme against adams when you have aaron rodgers throwing the ball. great offense beat great defense every time.


and your comparison with the Bucs makes no sense, as they have a very very good defense as well, which was just as big of a reason for them winning the SB as all the weapons brady had was. it’s not as simple as saying well it was harder to scheme against TB, as it was harder to beat TB for other reasons just important as well.

Adams had under 70 yards in both playoff games and they lost. They likely lose to the Rams if Donald was healthy and Goff wasnt such a putz. Good defenses can contain a single WR. Adams was doubled a ton and had Ramsey and Davis shadowing him and was bottled up. The end result was MVS and others dropping critical passes.

because the packers have a better offense, they just play offense differently.

Brady is running the quick passing game very similar to what they were doing in NE, just with way better weapons.

Rodgers is running a west coast Shannahan type run first play action offense. and it was better than TB’s. GB just relies on their top 5 OL and RB room the same way TB relies on their top 5 WR room.

there’s more than one way to have a great offense in the NFL today.

I would argue TB’s great offense beat GB’s bad defense (aka their weak link)

GB had a top 10 passing D and gave up the same amount of points as thr Bears. They were a very good D against the pass as they have good pass rushers and a good secondary.

The only thing that was compared was Brady’s weapons (they won a SB) to Rodgers weapons. There was literally nothing discussed about they types of offense they ran or how good they were.

But….Brady threw the most deep balls in the league in 2020. I believe his yards per attempt were one of the highest in his career. Arians doesn’t run a quick passing offense. He’s a vertical type of offense.

Correct. Not sure what WCBF is talking about. Brady had the most deep passing attempts and completions in the NFL.

It is funny how the same people that would complain if Wimms was our 2nd WR are suddenly saying the Pack 2nd and 3rd WRs are good simply because they have a No 1 offense.

MVS has had multiple drops just as bad as Wimms against the Saints.
Over the years listening and conversating with bears fans in real life and message-boards and Twitter and reddit it has been excruciatingly painfully obvious that it's apparently 100 percent evidenced in their perspectives that they pay 100% more attention to bears players and play than the players of other teams and this is just another example in literally an ocean of examples that most bears fans don't even watch other teams unless they are playing the bears.

100 percent evidenced? Can you show us this evidence please? I mean it must be a very accurate social experiment if your conclusion was 100%.

Your ability to avoid the usage of periods is legendary. Bravo sir!

You can literally do your own research for yourself but if you re-read the post I posted I was referencing my own personal experience in researching it for myself and the conclusion was within a negligible range so I rounded up towards 100 percent.
