No matter how Aaron Rodgers’ career ends, Dom Capers wasted nearly a decade

Around 2011, one could be forgiven for believing Aaron Rodgers was capable of controlling space and time. Rodgers manipulated defenses with alacrity, pulverizing them to meet his will. What he never could master was manipulating his own defense toward those same ends. That task fell on Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator Dom Capers, and too often, his unit wasn’t up to the task. That, above all else, before the lack of aggression from Ted Thompson or schematic stagnation from Mike McCarthy, will come to define the underachieving near decade with Rodgers at the peak of his powers.
