If Aaron Rodgers was a game manager, than his performance would have been idealistic. Few, if any mistakes, and distributed the ball efficiently.

But Rodgers isn’t a game manager, and we don’t want him to be. He’s a play-maker, who has the athletic ability and intelligence that allow him to take chances (not as much as a certain backstabbing gunslinger) and make big time plays. His performance against Detroit is case in point.

This isn’t to take away from Rodgers’ performance against the Colts. The running game was operating at a high level, and the defense was not only keeping the Colts off the board, but they were providing some points of there own. Rodgers did what was required, and nothing more.

In all honesty, most games won’t be like this. Being able to shut Manning down and return two to the house is an achievement that comes around once in a blue moon. And, if our previous games are any indicator, we’ll be lucky to get anywhere near that kind of production out of Grant (he still wasn’t that good).

Yes, Rogers played the role of game-manager last Sunday, and he played it to perfection.

But no, this is not a label fit for him, and it is a not a moniker we should limit him to.
