Anyone who has watched the first five games of the season, can see that Rodgers has not played well. The first halves vs the Bears, Washington, and the Lions were particularly poor, while the Buffalo game and the Vikings game in all were good/okay, though not great. While this level of play overall is middle of the road and still better than much of the league, it is not up to par for the league’s highest paid player.
This is also what gives me the most hope as a fan. It is a team game after all, and other parts of the team have improved.
