Packers Are In Good Hands With Rodgers

So says Doug Farrar at Football Outsiders. He breaks down QB Aaron Rodgers game at Dallas last season and comes away impressed. Follow the link to read the entire article, but hold your nose as you read about probably the worst game last season played by the Packers' offensive line:

Most of all, I liked his ability to maintain the offensive tempo, and his refusal to let pressure dictate what he was going to do in a negative fashion. Of all the 2005 quarterbacks (yeouch — that’s an ugly draft class), he seems the most “finished” by far, along with Cleveland’s Derek Anderson, in that he could win games as the featured component. He’s very careful with the ball, a trend that goes back to his college days (43 touchdowns and 13 interceptions in three seasons at Cal).

Aaron Rodgers

He is very efficient with the ball and takes what the defense gives him. With a variety of weapons on offense he should do well spreading the ball around. I look for him to have a great year!

Rodgers

AR will be fine. I am really excited to see what he can do, and how good he can become! He has everything a WCO QB needs to be successful. Accuracy, decision making, a good arm… The guy is going to have no problems taking over for the legend. He’ll have his share of learning experiences along the way and there will be some growing pains to be sure. But everything is pointing upward!!! Packers in SB in 3 years is my prediction!!! And lets lay a beatdown on the Viqueens opening nite!!!
