cbfalcon 824 Posted December 12, 2011 well, this has only been discussed as a possibility in the ff playoffs since last summer. welcome I think Rodgers sitting because the Packers clinched the #1 seed has been discussed. But not a ton of discussion about him leaving games early because his team is up 75 points. Just sayin... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sho Nuff 719 Posted December 12, 2011 From today, lol http://i.imgur.com/27K33.jpg You can look at most any game day photo gallery on Packers.com and you will see him doing that. Pretty funny stuff some weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

swamp dog 0 Posted December 12, 2011 the weather's tightening up as well. rodgers still put up lunch-bucket qb stats yesterday. but i'm not sure why everyone thought he was going to play 100 percent of the time and/or put up 300/4 each and every week come december and january. i guarantee you mccarthy doesn't give a flying f about rodgers pretty stats or your ff team. i expect his stats to be solid from here on out but average.

Houston Texans 10 Posted December 12, 2011 That begs the question....What happens next week? Will he continue sitting? If they are up by almost 40 points at the beginning of the 3rd quarter? Probably. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
R8RMick 242 Posted December 12, 2011 They need to win next week. In a close, but high scoring game. Rodgers wants that undefeated season, and I personally feel McCarthy is leery of what other coaches have done in the past regarding resting players. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cavern 70 Posted December 12, 2011 They need to win next week. In a close, but high scoring game. Rodgers wants that undefeated season, and I personally feel McCarthy is leery of what other coaches have done in the past regarding resting players. i like the way you sandwich what you want to happen in between two thoughts about what the packers are likely thinking... i doubt they are hoping for a close shootout vs the chiefs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
donhaas 18 Posted December 12, 2011 He was sitting in the third quarter, too... I think this is an important fantasy football lesson... there are so many important things to look at when evaluate players you will draft... In a Rodgers vs. Brady decision you may have made earlier you have to consider that Belichick will have Brady in there and throwing 2 yard touchdown passes to his tight ends on fourth down up by 25 with :57 left in the game because he has a self-esteem problem stemming from not winning since "Hey Ya" was a hit song! Humiliating their opponent and padding their stats is more important to the Patriot franchise... they are angry that they got caught cheating and that they haven't won in a long time... For a classy quarterback like Rodgers and a classy team like the Packers, winning the Lombardi Trophy and being good sportsmen is more important.... It's all about priorities and morals. What's cooler than being cool???? Ice cold! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZeroTolerance 582 Posted December 12, 2011 Cost me a playoff game. FU Oakland for not being competitive At least you pinned the blame on the right people. It always cracks me up when someone loses points because starters are rested in a blowout and they blame the team that is up by 30 for sitting them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cavern 70 Posted December 12, 2011 this really has me thinking about possibly playing cam newton over rodgers next week in the semis. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dcgangstas 41 Posted December 13, 2011 If they are ahead big late in a game? Yes. I agree. With KC on the menu, Rodgers may be sitting by the start of the 3rd quarter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TomServo 0 Posted December 13, 2011 For a classy quarterback like Rodgers and a classy team like the Packers, winning the Lombardi Trophy and being good sportsmen is more important.... Yeah, right. Up by 25 against the Broncos in the 4th quarter, Aaron Rodgers threw his 4th TD of the game to go up 49-17. Stay classy! Same deal with Rodgers' 4th TD pass to go up 38-7 against the Vikings before Matt Flynn came in throwing to build the lead to 45-7. What good sports! Meanwhile, the Pats only have two blowout wins - the Jets game that was 23-16 early in the 4th quarter and the KC game where The Law Firm and Shane Vereen ran the ball 11 straight times (one pass attempt nullified by penalty) to score the final TD. Sportsmanship has nothing to do with the Packers offense. They want to go 19-0, they want to break records, and they want to keep Rodgers healthy. It's a balancing act, but being good sports is no part of the equation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
