1- Aaron Rodgers winning a super bowl in spite of having a bad HC doesn’t prove your point.  Just because McCarthy won a SB because of Aaron Rodgers doesn’t mean he was a good coach for the other 12 years.   This comment means nothing over the course of their 13 years together.  
 

2- lol…..yes….I keep saying that he needs a supporting cast to win a super bowl……. Ask Matt stafford.  It’s the NFL, not boxing, tennis or even the NBA, where 1 player can win a title on his own….ask Dwayne Wade.  You continue to bring up one qb, Brady, that does this with no supporting cast (while having the best coach of all time).  What other QBs have done this repeatedly?  None.  Only the GOAT.  
 

Brady is on one level.  Aaron Rodgers is clearly below him…. CLEARLY.  Who is comparing Rodgers and Brady…..other than you, as you continue to move the goal posts?

 

McCarthy wasn't a very good coach (see my post above).  Lafleur is much better, as is the Offense he brought with him, yet no SB appearances.  In 2018, the Packers "brought in" Tonyan, Lazar and MVS--3 guys who had significant contributions by 2020.  Add them to a top 3 WR and a 1000+ yard RB who they drafted in 2017 and it resulted in the #1 scoring Offense, a trip to the NFCC game and Rodger's 1st MVP year in 7 years.

 

Still no SB.

 

But yeah, they didn't give him any weapons--no "supporting cast"! 

 

....#1 Offense.  MVP.  Your argument doesn't get any less absurd the more you repeat it.

 

Here's another QB for you:  Eli Manning.  Took 2 mediocre Offenses (and Defenses) to 2 SBs where he won 2 SB MVPs.  In 2007, he had 1 WR who barely scratched 1000 yards. Same for a RB.   He did it a gain in 2011 with absolutely no running game and 2 good receivers (Cruz and Nicks--essentially flash in the pan guys).  He put those teams on his back after sneaking into the playoffs and balled out through two legendary SB wins---vs Brady, no less.  Under siege, he made iconic clutch completions to win those games. 

 

In 2020, Rodgers (MVP with the best Offense around him  in the NFL) choked in the biggest moment.  In 2021, he laid an egg against the mighty 49ers.

Yeah, and let's not forget Green Bay has to bear some responsibility for the mess their in also.  They didn't extend A Rogers when they could have had him at the $40M mark of Mahomes and Josh.  Quite the opposite, they got cute and drafted what they thought would be Rogers replacement and let Rogers ride out his deal.

 

That oh so clever GB FO now has to deal with a mess of its own making.  They had a HOF QB, pretty much in his prime, and decided to try and draft his replacement early.  Oops.  Love lucked terrible and there is now no way to get Rogers with any kind of break now.  They have to pay market price to keep him, $50M.

GREAT point!  Poor choices, good try, wrong move and you need to be accountable for trying to hedge your bets and make the wrong play.

AKA, hey you tried, you chose poorly.  FU pay me.

 

Fyi, my personal opinion on Rodgers is he is a huge man child with an ego problem.  But, agree the Packers made poor choices to help push the manchild to make these decisions.  Rodgers is pissed and GB painted themselves in a corner.  Nobody puts baby in a corner.

He’s a choker in the playoffs. I don’t want him back.
