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?
