giantsfan Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Am I crazy to think this guy is in for a really great season? They are a passing team. They have a nice passing schedule. They have MANY weapons for Rodgers to throw to. Call me crazy, but I like him above Peyton I think. A lot of questions in Indy IMO. New coaches. Questionable D. Questionable OL. I really think Rodgers could be the # 2 guy behind Brees and is in for an amazing season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awahl63 Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 I have him at #4 but I could see top 2-3 numbers. I would be happy if he did that well since I have him on my team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chavez Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 GB has been running a bit more effectively than in previous years, so his numbers might dip from last year's season (which was still, what, top 6-7 in a year with quite a few very good passing performances?) but still remain in the VERY good category (3800/25).

Randall Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 I have Brady, Peyton and Brees in the top tier with Rodgers. Take your pick. I like him to improve his numbers slightly over last season. If Jones is healthy and with Finley he has an awful lot of weapons. Bring on the Bears(first game of the season). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think them having a decent run game actually helps him more. To me they are a passing team that can certainly run and keep you honest. I agree Grant will get more than 4 TD's, but I also think their O will be better overall and have more scoring chances in general. Plus, and this never seems to get mentioned, he actually has a year of experience as a starter now. That has to help I'd think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much better is it possible for them to get? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he'll improve by a few hundred yards but about the same touchdowns because he's more comfortable in the offense. Jay Cutler territory.

Jay Cutler territory. if anything, I could see less throws because of the defense being improved.... unless Grant is unsuccessful running the ball again...

Chavez Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 if anything, I could see less throws because of the defense being improved.... Right, and it isn't as if Rodgers wasn't efficient with his throws last year, the man had a 90+ QB rating. I think in Rodgers case, a better D + better running game = less opportunity. But more wins, which is the important part for me, as a Packer fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
