Sure, it's hard to not enjoy a good hit or to not react when an athlete gets knocked around a bit, but I <I>always</I> want to see a player get back up and go back on the field.<BR/><BR/>I'm in the same boat when it comes to Rodgers. I think he can be a heck of a QB, provided that Packers management doesn't try to make him into Favre or any other QB. I wrote about his situation earlier this summer and I see his scenario more like Philip Rivers: a talented signal caller that has to catch up to the rest of the talent on the roster. <BR/><BR/>Because they have a very good O-line, decent receiver depth, a run game and arguably the most complete defense in the NFL, Rodgers will be afforded to make a few mistakes here and there, but the team will have his back knowing that he hustled his butt off to get behind center.<BR/><BR/>Yet, we'll see what he does for a full year.Jason Clinkscaleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11100315288752472586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5924479118331926344.post-21616899369426447872008-09-10T21:53:00.000-04:002008-09-10T21:53:00.000-04:00I guess I'd fall into the 'level headed' category....I guess I'd fall into the 'level headed' category. I really do feel that the NFL has done a pretty good job of taking the celebrity worship tendencies out of it's sport, to a fair degree. I'm not saying they'd soon require jerseys with no names on the back, but when you talk to fans of the game, they are usually fairly knowledgeable about the league as a whole. They have their 'team' they favor, but usually know what's going on in the league.<BR/><BR/>To a point you made about the next up-and-comer, I'd have to say that I'm looking forward to seeing what Aaron Rogers has within him. I've had an argument with several people about the Pack's new starting QB.<BR/> I've felt, ever since he took over for Favre last year in that November game against the Cowboys, that he has a future in the league.<BR/> No one seems to agree with me, though.
