Packers QB Aaron Rodgers 1) Introduction: It was a grind at times for Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Things didn’t look quite as easy as they did in 2011. But as injuries mounted and adversity came and went, Rodgers kept the Packers in games and came through in the end more often than not. It wasn’t an MVP season, but it wasn’t far off. 2) Profile: Aaron Rodgers Age: 29 Born: 12/02/1983, in Chico, CA Height: 6’2″ Weight: 225 College: California Rookie Year: 2005 NFL Experience: 8 years Career Stats and more: 3) Expectations coming into the season: 8,000 yards, 108 touchdowns, 1 interception and a QB rating of 607.3. Seriously, I think some people honestly expected those numbers from Rodgers this season. His 2011 run might have been a once in a lifetime thing. It’s unfair to expect that to happen every season, maybe ever again. Rodgers ended up leading the league in passer rating for the second straight season and made several plays when he had no business making a play. It was...

Dom Capers: 2012 Green Bay Packers Evaluation and Report Card

Via AllGreenBayPackers.com  |  February 26, 2013
Dom Capers 1) Introduction:  Many expected 2012 to be a rebound season for the Packers defense.  The unit was the team’s Achilles heel in 2011 and it cost them a shot at a second straight Super Bowl.  Ted Thompson reloaded the team with talent via the 2012 NFL Draft,  so it was up to Dom Capers to turn the defense around.  Capers was expected to get the unit closer to 2010...
