Packers draft makes them scouting nightmare

Aaron Rodgers isn't quite a rookie he has been in a nfl game or two. So he has seen the speed of the game.  I think that a qb who has been in the league for 3 years can't be a rookie. don't be fooled by his lack of starting experience

You give us a snapshot of a true Viking fan.  This picture is one of a want-to-be football fan that knows nothing about football. 

Rodgers is not a rookie.  He has been in the league for three years.  He knows our system and the NFL.  He will be fine at picking up anything defenses throw at him.  He has had a great teacher in Farve and a great QB coach in McCarthy. 

Don't you think it very funny that our 2nd and possibly 3rd string will be better than any QB on your roster.  Jackson would make an average college QB this year.  Not a pro QB.  Hope Booty works out for you because you have nothing else.

Now, concerning Aaron Rodgers, how can you say he is a rookie quarterback? You do realize that NFL experience goes beyond the field. It also involves films study and practice and learning the system while being prepared by the coaching staff. A rookie only has a couple of months of NFL football knowledge. You do realize that some teams keep the players on the bench long enough for them to learn from the starters before they play. Throwing them in the fire sometimes has its drawbacks. Not playing does not make someone a rookie. They still have other ways of adjusting, through practice and study.

Now, regarding the topic at hand, I completely agree. This is a point I made on other threads: Mike McCarthy has so many options now for different formations. He can make it really difficult for opponents on and off the field. Greg Jennings. Donald Driver. James Jones. Koren Robinson. Ruvell Martin. Jordy Nelson (who also can throw the ball pretty well). Ryan Grant. Donald Lee. Jermichael Finley. There are many opportunities with these weapons and they should all make Aaron Rodgers job easier.

What do the Vikings have? Jackson? He does not have as many weapons. Adrian Peterson can't carry that offense because defenses can stack up against him. He also started to struggle some after his injury. So we are back to Booty (what a name). He is a rookie and does not have the weapons Rodgers has. Did I forget to mention who the scouting report compares him too? He was another good system college QB who struggled in the NFL: Patrick Ramsey. What did he do? Does that inspire much hope?

Guys, Guys...... a little reality check here.........

YES, The Packers have surrounded Rodgers w/ talent. HE'S NOT FAVRE, But he should do well. Maybe 58% 3500 Yds 19TD 15 INT........ By no means horrible.

But realisticly, he has had 3 Years to mature, He had arguably the Best QB ever to Learn from. But Favre was far from a Mentor.

If Rodgers learned anything from Favre, it was Observation Based. Favre is well known for not Mentoring younger Players.... especially QB's (Ask Hasselbeck)

Just My 2 Cents.........

I agree with Capone.

Rodgers does have a lot of receiving talent to work with and will probably put up Okay numbers next year. 

However, something that would worry me if I were a Packer fan is that they could enter the season with a stable of quarterbacks that have zero NFL starts combined.  That would be a huge gamble and could easily backfire...

Also just a little help to my friend Gopackgo:
