Charles Woodson comes to Aaron Rodgers' defense

[Regular_P]

You can always count on Woodson being a class act.

Yup. That's Woodson for you. A true class act. A real ****** man. And leader. Like Rodgers. Makes me wish he was still a Packer. He also knows without the Packers taking a chance on him in 2006 he wouldn't have had the career, money, and HOF status he has right now.

After the ugly exit from Oakland back then, everyone thought he was done, a problem child... GB came with a huge offer and he sat on it and took it as it was the only option. Comes to camp, has a fight with McCarthy and from then on, he just balled out and took his game to that next level.

SMH @ Jennings talking shyt. He had a top 3 QB feeding him the past 5 years, helped him get a fat contract and now he's throwing him under the buss?

I'm still bitter to this day that the Lions didn't make him an offer.

A-Rod....best QB in the NFL.


I'm proud to be an A-Rod Stan brehs

I don't think anyone was offering him the 7 year $52 million the Packers offered. TB had an offer which was much smaller and he wasn't going to take that.

He didn't want to come to GB but said screw it and took the money initially. His attitude changed in that first season after he and McCarthy got into it during camp/pre-season. Him and Al Harris was a duo from 2006-2009

breh i remember that summer..no one bothered.

We signed Smoot year before when we coulda easily had Woodson



Woodson and Winfield woulda been a crazy azz duo. Oh St and Michigan don't mix i guess

i understand what theyre saying, but i feel like if you a grown man and you fukk up another grown shouldnt have to fall on his sword and take the blame for your fukk up if he doesnt want to. thats some coddling bullshyt. if thats how favre lead then thats on him. but if rodgers doesnt want to be that guy and rather hold you accountable when you fukk up then thats fine too imo.

Jennings and Driver also played with Favre. Favre always took blame for INTs even if his WRs ran the wrong routes.

Case in point, the 2007 NFC Championship game vs. the Giants. The Packers got the ball first in Overtime and a couple plays later, Favre throws the costly INT to Corey Webster. Favre took the blame for it but Driver ran the wrong route on it too. Driver was supposed to run a wheel route and Favre threw it as so. Driver instead ran an out route and messed up.

Rodgers never comes right out and takes the blame, it's always the 3rd party royal "we" - like it's a "TEAM" thing and they have to solve it as a "TEAM".
Even on the occasions when he does suck it up, it's usually after the video tape would call him a damned liar if he didn't admit it.
What he does NOT do is go up on the podium and directly say it was NOT so&so's fault.
The best he does is say; "I've got to work on that & I've got to get better at that."

It's a stylistic difference.

Dan Marino was a total asshat, yelled at receivers and OL players right on the camera - Cutler used to do it too.
Rivers yells at the other team all the time.
Big Ben never seems to have learned how to speak, he uses sign language only.

Some QBs publicly humiliate players, some call them aside and do it privately, and some - like #4 - throw themselves under the bus to save his guys every time.
The ONLY time Favre ever called a guy out was Javon Walker, over the holdout - but you can bet there were more than a couple private conversations, far removed from prying eyes, with players who weren't getting their jobs done.
Humiliation and embarrassment are poor leadership tactics.
Doesn't work well for coaches and doesn't do much for the reputation of QBs either.

I had a feeling that this was the reason. It ain't that Rodgers is a bad leader, it's that they're comparing the new boss to the old boss. It seems like everyone is beating around the bush, this sounds like it's about what Favre did for them (and let them get away with) that Rodgers doesn't.

I remember Hugh Douglas talking about the QBs saying "we" on NNL. When they throw touchdowns they say "I", but when they fumble or throw picks they say "We".

you gotta be an "a$$hole" to lead sometimes (that means calling out other folks for their mistakes)

 

[Formerly known as...]

There is something about the Packers that I don't like. They always come out with some side way comment when they lose 'oh we beat ourselves they didn't beat us' etc.

Rodgers is a beast tho. Can't deny that!

No doubt you need confidence but when you lose you lose. Just come out and say we got beat by the better team on the day.
