OT: Jordy Nelson torn ACL

I got it - you see beyond the amazing stats. Your a strictly W-L kind of guy? Well, maybe Rodgers has a few years left to impress you as much he has me.

Tom Brady's passer rating in the postseason is only 0.5 higher than Peyton's. Yet we know that Brady is FAR superior to him in the playoffs.

As you said, Rodgers has the highest passer rating in postseason history, but it would obviously be silly to consider him a better playoff QB than Brady or Montana.

That right there should let you know that passer rating is meaningless.

Passer rating scales each of the components that go into the formula based on data that is 40+ years old, when the game was completely different than what it is today. It also puts way more emphasis on completions than it should.

It's a meaningless metric.

it was non contact. i didn't actually see it. ACLs are 2 year recovery injuries. that sucks.

He's 30 years old too. Almost the same situation as WW although he was a tad younger

Sucks....hate injuries and he's a good guy

@JermichaelF88: With Nelson out. Let's see how good @AaronRodgers12 really is. #Packers

I concur.

First time in Rodgers' entire career he won't have loaded weapons.

Green Bay went through a WR injury bonanza just a few years ago and Rodgers was still fine. I'm not sure why people act like there are still questions about him, the guy is incredible.

Save your hate for the deserving, young one.

Green Bay is a top notch organization with a great coach, QB and team. This is sad news.

Hmmm.... one of these is not like the others

Green Bay is a top notch organization with a great coach, QB and team

If someone wants to wonder whether other's talent has been inflating production, McCarthy is the guy to look at, not Rodgers.

that sucks so bad

FourierSeries said:

6-5, actually.

I don't care about passer rating, and neither should anyone who actually knows how passer rating is determined.

Passer rating depends heavily on on YPA and TD/INT ratio. Those are pretty good indicators, no? Not perfect, but passer rating is a pretty good aggregator stat.

Btw, Mike McCarthy is a decent playcaller but a trainwreck of a head coach. Switch Belichick and McCarthy and I think it is highly likely that Rodgers has more than one SB.

That's terrible news to Jordy Nelson and anyone celebrating that injury on this forum is a first class douchebag. Don't like that? Put me on ignore. We have no beef with the Packers and the players, specifically Jordy Nelson, had nothing to do with Deflategate. Get well soon, Jordy.

Preach it!

Sounds like Jermichael's just bitter. Every team has those guys, including the Pats.

I think we're all just trying our best to cope with the injustice that is Deflate Gate the best way we can...and sometimes we feel like taking our anger out on other teams and their players

I don't take delight in other people's misfortune, but I definitely sympathize with the bitterness coming from Pats fans

....and I can say that if this were a player for the Colts, we would be reacting much differently

Considering the first like, 7 years of Brady's career was reading the exact same ******** argument about him (Oh he's only good cause the defense, he's only good cause Belichick, he's only good cause Moss) I'm gonna say I think you're pretty off here and that a bad QB in a great situation will put up Dilfer numbers not MVP numbers like Rodgers has.

They are a top notch organization, QB and team. However, McCarthy is not a great coach.

Oh yeah. If it was someone on the Colts, I still wouldn't be cheering for it or anything, because that's ********. I would feel a little bit of schadenfreude though, admittedly. Just a bit, though, and I wouldn't feel good about it.

I remember when Pollard took out Brady's knee, and for the next month every ****head Chargers fan around me couldn't stop cheering about it and declaring how awesome it was. Based on their reactions, apparently Brady's injury was the high point of being a Chargers, Jets or Bills fan this century. There were entire sports bars erupting in cheers when they saw him go down.

We all dealt with those assholes. If there's no other reason not to be the kind of person who cheers for injuries, not being like them should still be enough.

Love how people are pretending to have sympathy over someone they don't know personally and whose injury doesn't affect them in any way.

It's the same thing that happens when a celebrity dies. People feel the need to fake sympathy even when they're anonymous online and they have absolutely nothing to gain from it. It's always baffling.

Some people have this thing called empathy. It means they don't like it when bad things happen to people who don't appear to deserve it.

I find it slightly worrisome that this concept is foreign to you.

Good points! I still feel it's Us against the World.... but I'm not going to cheer when a player goes down... at least not openly

I honestly feel bad for teams with season ending injuries to their best players ever since 2008.

I don't and never will precisely because of reactions in 2008. SCREW THE OTHER 31! NOT ENOUGH BAD THINGS CAN HAPPEN TO EVERY OTHER TEAM IN THE NFL!

Why be like them, though? We've seen the other side firsthand, and we know how ****ty, obnoxious, and lacking in perspective those people were.
