Packers Hiring Matt LaFleur as Head Coach
This is a little bit of a surprise. Real gamble for the Packers. LaFleur was Matt Ryan’s QB coach in 2016, then the OC with the Rams last year but didn’t call the plays. |

Re: Packers Hiring Matt LaFleur as Head Coach
Some interesting notes for the Rodgers vs Brees debate.
Over on FP blogs, Brad Oremland lists Rodgers in the top 100 players at 103. He had this glaring stat to point out. Best Players in Pro Football History: 101-110, By Brad Oremland
For those that love to argue Brees got snubbed in 2011, here's you a key argument that he completely led over Rodgers in first down percentage. I've been saying this for the past 3 years - when you take away Rodgers' precious, holy TD/INT ratio and actually judge him on every other metric in stats, he falls behind and is a slightly above average QB. Another comment -
He broke the record for most passes out of bounds last year all while trying to get that record for lowest INT percentage in NFL history. He got the record but at what cost? The Packers didn't even rank in the top 10 last year in first downs, so many of those drives stalled and were punts cause the man with the ball refused to make better decisions. Another note - look how far better Favre ranks in first down percentage. Packers fans argue this all the time over who is more frustrating; Rodgers or Favre. With Favre, you know you run the risk of a higher INT percentage, but he was better at moving the chains and driving down the field. Rodgers will protect his stats at the cost of sacrificing drives from big sacks and throwing out of bounds. I don't care about the INTs, I'd trust Favre over him. Key note on the 2018 stats, even with Brees' decline late in the season, he still led the league in first down percentage. IMO as I said 3 years ago - Aaron Rodgers is going to go down as the most overrated good QB of the past 20 years. I think a decade from now, people will look back and wonder how come analysts spent years arguing he was just as good and better than Manning, Brees and Brady. He is this generation's Steve Young and he's not even as good as Young was, whom led the league in TDs at 37 years old and kept the 49ers offense in the top 5 every year in first down percentage. |

Re: Packers Hiring Matt LaFleur as Head Coach
I never thought Rodgers as being great, its a wonder he ever won a SB, but then again he had talent around him that Brett Favre probably would of won with had he not moved on.
He would be a modern day Steve Young as noted, Young was overrated as well in his era, his one SB was beating injured Dallas team and overrated Chargers teams that needed a miracle to win the AFC that year. |
