Aaron Rodgers says fans watched Packers-49ers game to root against him because he’s not vaccinated

This is the part I find worrying, but yeah, totally willing to give him another year or so to figure it out.

But we gotta get rid of this guy first....

[LemonMelon]

LOL there are plenty of unvaccinated players I root for on my own shitty team. I don't care that Throw Rogan isn't vaccinated, I care that he endangered people by lying about his status and because he pushes dangerous GQP propaganda. I also dislike the guy because he's a petty, selfish diva who can't justify it in games that matter and is given a scapegoat each time for his failings. None of that is directly related to his political views.

Yeah and most young QB's struggle with footwork. It's usually the last thing to develop. Even if you watch Rodgers in 08/09, it was still coming along.

The crazy part is, even though I consider myself left, I agree with Rodgers on a couple of his statements, specifically cancel culture, which I do agree has gotten out of control.

But I feel like he lost his platform when he wasn't straightforward with the media when they asked him if he was vaccinated. That was his opportunity to use his platform and even say "I'm allergic to a component of the vaccine". He didn't take that opportunity and because of that I agree that he deserved a lot of flack.

[Hewson]

Yeah, it's not about him being unvaxxed, it's about his deceit in the matter, and apparently not following the protocols for unvaxxed players.

What's really concerning is when you see footwork and throwing mechanics regress over time. That happened to Baker Mayfield this year. He is seemingly incapable of standing upright in the pocket at this point and constantly drifts off to his left. This leads to sacks and poor accuracy. This has always been an issue for Baker, but I'm not sure it's ever been worse than that Packers game.

I watch a lot of film analysis for quarterbacks and I thought this video on Baker and the importance of footwork was extremely interesting:

https://youtu.be/RWNQiQOIG0A

Some relevant time stamps: 3:40, 8:15, 10:45, 20:40, 28:23

Even when it works out, like 14:22, you can see how difficult he makes things for himself. Again, I'm not 100% sure why he's still having games this bad, but it's something you want to prevent from happening to Jordan Love. Keep his pocket clean for the most part and he will develop in the psychological aspects of the game.

Joe Burrow seriously has incredible mental fortitude at his age for continuing to play his game despite a lack of protection from his OL. He's going to be really special if they can keep him healthy in Cincinnati.

I know I could just ask you this, but I thought some people in the thread would be interested too, has that person done a video on Jordan Love?

Really good video. And I agree with your point about keeping the pocket clean for Love. I think the stage is definitely set for him to have success. At the core, MLF is a run first coach that sets up open WR's with playaction and via routes. Has a phenomenal OL too.

Should be interesting for sure!

right - it's because he lied, didn't follow protocols, and when called on it he responded like an entitled, arrogant douchebag.

ohhhh joe rogan told you what to do so that's why you didn't follow the protocols the league put in place. great.

if he would have said from jump street that he can't be vaccinated because he has an allergy then people wouldn't have been as hard on him.

so once again someone is complaining about cancel culture instead of owning up to their own shitty behavior.

That's why I still think the best joke from Saturday night was that Aaron Rodgers was surrounded by snowflakes and got cancelled.

Brady to retire at a very young 63 years of age

[bono_212]

I'm not saying he had a bad year, that would be stupid, but seeing a dip in talent this year had me convinced he wouldn't come back. I don't think he'd want to risk a bad season.

[LuckyNumber7]

The Curse of the Bradybino is over

[mikal]

Let’s go Jordan Love! Take over the NFC as best QB!

[mikal]

Oh not official now. Man, if Brady purposely did this to troll Schefter, I’d hate him just a little less.
