I think the belt celebration is really trashy and douchey but, and maybe I'm totally wrong here, I think Rodgers knows that it is trashy and douchey and does it with goofiness in mind. If he is not self aware and does it totally sincerely then I hate it and wish he would stop.

 

GO PACKERS!

Seems to me like he really thinks it's cool. I'm not sensing the goofiness.

As a Bears fan, I must say, Aaron Rodgers is awesome. I like him a lot. The championship belt celebration is silly, but I don't mind it at all. Of course, I would have liked Bin Laden in comparison if he followed Favre as GBs QB.

if jay cutler did the wrestling belt celebration, you'd all think it's the cat's meow

 

i can confidently say i would be embarrassed if my favorite player did stuff like that.

We have the 49ers and their boneheaded decision to pick Alex Smith over Aaron Rodgers to thank for this mess :)

 

 

I agree -- I do tend to like Rodgers, silly celebration and all.

Hindsight is 20/20, but it's amazing looking back that Rodgers would have received that tag, and Alex Smith would not have.

 

I mean Rodgers has the typical NFL pocket-passing physical build & tools.

 

I wonder how much of it was anti-Tedford bias based on QB failures like Boller, Smith.

 

Apparently Mike Nolan didn't like Rodgers' attitude too. That is quite a poor reason to pass on a franchise QB, if you really believe he's the best talent in the draft.

Smith was universally considered a better prospect. It wasn't just the 49ers. But Rodgers was a borderline top 10 pick who fell for whatever reason (was there a good reason and I just don't remember?) and he clearly shouldn't have.

I don't remember there being a true reason why he dropped, but I do think I remember hearing that if he didn't go 1 overall, he could really tumble quite a ways before getting taken. It seems like he was prepared for it, if I remember correctly.

Doesn't Smith have one of the highest Wonderlik scores ever too.

Why would Smith have been considered a better prospect?

Smith was considered a better prospect because of his athleticism. I remember that was a big reason why San Francisco drafted him.

 

Rodgers fell because there wasn't a lot of need for quarterbacks that season.

I remember most knew he would fall because teams didn't perceive a need @ QB that year.

 

I think scouts really missed on the athleticism piece -- Rodgers is plenty athletic, as it turned out.

same here. it's a professional wrestling reference, which should be embarrassing to any person over the age of 12 who doesn't consider themself white trash.

Has he come out and said why he's doing it? There probably isn't a good enough reason that I could support it, so I'll just say I'm glad it's Rodgers doing it and not Cutler. Cutler gets abused enough by opposing defenses. No need to inspire them to hit you even harder next time.

Didn't Smith play for Urban Meyer and his spread offense? It seems to me that he would be the prototypical system QB.
