Over half of Rogers' tenure (7 of 13 years, injured in '17), their defense was ranked in the bottom half of the league in yards allowed.
6 of those 13 years they were bottom half of the league in points allowed.
Yet they only had a negative point differential in two years, one of them in '17 - he was out.
Negative margin of victory in two years excluding '17.
Only three years did they have a yardage differential in the bottom half of the league. Four counting '17.
Mind you they lost the game on special teams too.
Also Farve Won one sb (beat us), lost one... Favre and Rodgers are equal. Also Favre was in bottom half of league in Points three years to Rogers' 0.
They should be grateful and full of regret at the same time.
He's a gifted quarterback, but having a d helps you not only have to score less, but it creates less pressure for highlight-reel plays/hero ball because... well... point differnetial and statistics and such.
They gave him average defenses (which kinda leads us into our current situation with everybody wanting a Davante type, with a less-gifted QB)... literally average (see first line above)... and they paid for it in the postseason.
History will still treat him well. Ppl just mad that he's got this sigma male vibe and isn't good looking like Brady.
