The Takeaway, Cowboys vs. Packers: Aaron Rodgers at center of offensive woes

In the lead up to the Green Bay Packers tilt with the Dallas Cowboys, the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel's Bob McGinn wrote that the majority of the blame for the team's offensive woes fell on quarterback Aaron Rodgers. In McGinn's view, Rodgers had fallen on bad mechanics, refused or ignored instruction from coaches, and broke the play design too often for the offense to hum as it did for many years.

At the time, that criticism fell on plenty of deaf ears among the team's fan base, and understandably so. Since 2010, Rodgers has given those fans a Super Bowl championship, two MVP seasons, and helped Green Bay qualify for the postseason every year.
