So I was reading an article about Rodgers and the Packers. Basically, it's about the Packers limiting Rodgers reps in preseason, because of the season ending injury to WR J.Nelson last year. But this part of the article stuck in my craw:
Aaron Rodgers links Green Bay Packers' caution to Jordy Nelson's ACL - Green Bay Packers Blog- ESPN
So you mean to tell me that an injury to a Pro Bowl WR, in the preseason, and the Packers offense couldn't recover the whole year?
Brees has never had a Pro Bowl WR. And with the O-line playing as bad as they did, the Saints offense was ranked 2nd in the NFL and 8th in scoring.
But Rodgers is the QB the media gushes over. The one who has it all. The arm strength, accuracy, mobility and intangibles. I hear them all the time saying if they were building a team, Rodgers is the guy you want. Ranked 6th in the NFL Networks top 100 players, while Brees was 30th.
If he is so good, wouldn't the Packers offense done better than 23rd? Couldn't he of willed his team to play better since he 'has it all'?
But yet the media gives a back handed compliment to Brees, because he didn't throw for 5,000 yards last year. Never mentioning that he missed a game.
Respek!!!!
Rodgers is convinced that losing Nelson for the year threw off the Packers’ entire offense last season, when the unit plummeted to No. 23 in the 32-team league in yards and No. 15 in scoring. In the wake of Nelson’s injury, Rodgers emphasized several times in his postgame news conference that day that his Pro Bowl wide receiver had been lost “in a meaningless game.”
