I think we all pretty much agree that Rodgers is not having his best season, but there are things he can still do that no other QB can. To say he's a problem is simply a continued extension of all the rhetoric (but somewhat true) we have been hearing for the last year or so - yes, he's a star QB and has turned into a Diva like just about every other superstar, but to say he's the problem, and then say the team lacks talent around him . . . . . . he's having an off year and the media loves to find fault because those articles get clicked on. Adversity sells.I've learned to ignore a lot of what the talking heads say. Rodgers got in based on coaches and players voting, not on popular vote. That's a significant statement to me. The people he plays against seem to think he's still got it. He's teamed up with Brees and Wilson, who deserve to be there. Who else in the NFC should be there ahead of him?
I see Preston Smith won top votes for NFC OLB with popular vote, but didn't make it on coach and player votes. That's a statement to the opposite of what we see with Rodgers. The people in the game didn't see Preston as that good.
It's a popularity show anyway. My bet is that one of the three NFC QBs selected won't be able to be there because he's going to be in the Super Bowl.
