On October 27, I did a post on the biggest reason the Packers are an improved team in Matt LaFleur’s second year as head coach. Though I listed four possibilities, I decided the predominant improvement was having more depth throughout the roster.
After our quarterback’s nearly flawless game against the 49ers, however, I’m going to switch to my first runner-up: “that Aaron Rodgers has resurrected his game.”
At the halfway mark in the season, Rodgers performance is nip-and-tuck (as my generation would say) to his 2011 season – that’s when Aaron set the all-time NFL annual passer rating record of 122.
