Candyass? He got straight up on both hits and continued playing without missing a beat.

A few plays before, Rodgers ran the same bootleg. Just before running out of bounds though, he took a few extra yards in front of one of our defenders assuming they wouldn't touch him. Peppers made sure he wouldn't make the same mistake again. Face it, he was playing like a douchebag, and Peppers taught him a lesson. Great play.

Quit getting a hard-on for every quarterback not named Jake Delhomme.

I don't think he was playing like a douchebag, they're aren't any special rules the players follow. You play to win and Rodgers wasn't doing anything any other QB would do. He's young and inexpericened so he pushed it too far...you're right that Peppers made sure it wouldn't happen again, but I wouldn't classify Rodgers as a douchebag.

He was just about (and I stress that) to step out of bounds. The defender covering him let up, although Rodgers was still in bounds and was technically fair game, and decided that a big collision wasn't required. We see it all the time, not for fear of a late hit foul, but because we assume the quarterback is going straight out of bounds seeing as they don't love getting destroyed by larger players.

Rodgers took advantage of the other player's courtesy and danced his way back in for an extra yard or two. Our defense tried showing Rodgers some sportsmanship and he exploited it for his own gain. He was asking for it, and Peppers gave it to him.

We see it all the time, not for fear of a late hit foul, but because they assume the quarterback is going straight out of bounds seeing as they don't love getting demolished. Rodgers took advantage of the other player's courtesy and danced his way back in for an extra yard or two. If that isn't playing like a candyass, I don't know what is. We all know Peppers isn't a dirty player so it's obvious that this struck a nerve. Rodgers got what he deserved.

Watch the film a few more times. I love Peppers and love the play, but Rodgers was CLEARLY a full 2' out of bounds when the hit occurred. There isn't even a question of that. He might have tried to get away with that move earlier, but he didn't on that play and the reason might have been Julius Peppers...

I was talking about another play that happened somewhere in that drive (I think), not the one in the video. It's been a while since I've seen that play, so forgive me if my memory is playing tricks on me.

No problem from me...

There aren't any rules in poker that says you can't look at another players hand, but you wouldn't play with someone who constantly tries to do it would ya?

i really don't consider it cheating. This kind of limbo goes on all the time, Rodgers took advantage of the situation and the situation fixed itself. I don't think it was underhanded. It was within an acceptable limit of competition for him to do that and i think it was acceptable for peppers to make him pay the fine for skiriting the sideline.

      How would he get ahead of Aaron Rodgers? Rodgers is at a nearly 69% completion rate w/ 17 TDs to 5 INTs.   Comfortably ahead of Bryce in every statistical aspect of he position.  I get Rodgers is old as dirt but.....the production is pretty significantly better.

      I hear you, the sense of anger and resentment on the Huddle is bad even by Huddle Standards... I've tried to be pretty measured on Bryce lately.  I want him to succeed.  And I do think he does some things well, and makes plays.  When he throws with anticipation, things look good.   The problem is we're not seeing Bama Bryce anymore.  We drafted Bama Bryce.  We get 5.0 YPA Bryce.  It's not exciting football.  I love the wins, so I don't care that much about how pretty things are.  The reality is fantasy football and sports gambling have overrun many people's perspectives on football and sports at large.  Most fans want to see the big plays down the field for their own excitement.  Most knowledgeable fans want to see it as a way to keep a D honest, close the door on an opponent, and just better execute good football. Remember the old Bill Belichick expression: "Stats are for losers."  I'd much rather have ugly wins than pretty losses.  But I can still enjoy a pretty loss on the HOPE that next time we'll get that bounce of luck our way.   Wins and losses are often stated as a QB stat when football is a team game.  We saw how Flacco has a career day but the Cincy D let him down.  Does that loss count against Flacco?  It shouldn't because W/L should be a Head Coach stat. As far as game winning drives as a stat, it's not overly important.  It's cool, certainly so.  It's also a team stat.  If WRs don't catch the ball, if OL don't block, etc it's a moot point anyway.  Like we had in Philly last year.  Ideally, you shouldn't be in that position at the end of the game. Now as far as Bryce himself, I want him to do well.  I want him to take the position of franchise QB instead of have it placed gently upon his head.  I just don't think he's that guy.  We'll finish this season with Bryce, and if he proves he's the guy and puts us in a winning position, great.  If not, then we bring in competition for him.  Or we trade him.
