OT: Non-Hockey Sports Thread XII - Heeeeeeressss JJ! (Percy Harvin Edition)

[MuckOG]

I wouldn't say it was all on rodgers. It seemed like the receivers weren't on the same page with him. I'd put that on coaching.

If Rodgers decided to attend "mandatory" mini camp instead of going to Egypt, it might've helped the chemistry between him and the receivers. I've been hearing about Tom Brady taking his receivers to local parks to throw the ball around and Peyton Manning getting in trouble with the NFL head office because he came in to work during a Broncos bye week. as well. I've not heard of Rodgers being willing to work with his receivers during their free time.

No, I put the majority of the blame on Rodgers in this case. He is not the same player he was 5-6 years ago and Nathanial Hackett (Rodger's buddy) runs an archaic offensive system.

I'm not saying Saleh is a great or even good HC...he's probably better suited as a DC. But I think he is just being scapegoated here.

OK, you changed my mind. Hopefully his career doesn't have a Favreian trajectory.

ARodge has been washed up mentally for several years, even if he can still make the odd high-leverage throw. The 2022 playoff game against the 49ers was all the proof any football person needed, but football people aren't always the ones making decisions in the NFL.

I was listening to a podcast and they mentioned his throws have always been low percentage throws that relied upon good timing and chemistry. (im paraphrasing a bit) And i can easily see the point theyre making. That chemistry he had with Jordy, Cobb, Tae Adams and such was truly something special.

Hes never really been a clutch guy either. I saw a stat that hes 0-37 when hes trailing to a team entering the 4th quarter that has a winning record. Now i cant blame it all on him because hes had some pretty awful defense there for awhile.

Hes just not the Rodgers he was 3 or 4 years ago. People love saying he was a MVP 3 years ago or whenever he got the award, but when youre in your late 30s early 40s thats a long time and your body will change a lot more than say if you were in your early 20s if that makes any sense?

Teams usually do better with an offensive minded head coach.

 

[Northerner]

Honestly, it has a little to do with us but has so much more to do with Rodgers. They’re treating him like he’s a savior but at this point he’s an average QB at best

If he was on the Vikes rn tho we'd be a Superbowl threat.

I'm not so sure.

While that may be true, how much of that can be attributed to the outlandish contracts he’d been given. I don’t particularly like Brady, but he was smart enough to realize that there’s only so much of the pie to go around. He was never the highest paid QB (if memory serves me correctly) while still being one of the best QBs in history.

Side note: here’s a little video I found interesting regarding Rodgers:

Didn't hurt that his wife at the time was a billionaire model

About damn time.

 

[Wild11MN]

Biggest franchise win in a loooooooooong time if they sell soon

 

[keppel146]

Great news for MN sports.

 

[Sad People]

Good to hear that they are or should be on their way out.

Best day ever should be the day the sale is final

What local person is going to pony 1.5B to buy them, though?

What local person is going to pony 1.5B to buy them, though?

Correct.

 

[Saga of the Elk]

What local person is going to pony 1.5B to buy them, though?

Glen Taylor comes to mind.

Usually it's a group. The Twins are a solid franchise with a nice stadium, it's not like someone's going to move them to El Paso.

 

[NHL1674]

What local person is going to pony 1.5B to buy them, though?

I've got $20 to throw in the pot. May need to start a GoFundMe page to get the rest of it though.

 

[Digitalbooya]

Maye and Rattler set to start this week for their teams. Will interesting to see how they do.

 

[GordieGallant]

What local person is going to pony 1.5B to buy them, though?

I got about 2 million. You got the rest.

This says the entire game story right here.

Hutchinson with a gruesome injury.

To say the least. Related: can't imagine Mike McCarthy still has a job tomorrow.
