Video of Hits on Aaron Rodgers...

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 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.

    • What people fail to understand is Lance had a college career that lasted about as long as teenage boys first intercourse.  To say he was raw was an understatement.  So much so that even a QB whisperer had a difficult time molding him into a polished NFL product on top of multiple nagging injuries.  The dud is in his mid-twenties, finally healthy and little miles on the tread.  Low risk, high reward.  If he's available, it would be stupid not to kick the tires.  It took Darnold and Mayfield to hit their 3rd or 4th team for things to finally click.  This is Lance's 3rd stop, I believe.  It's either time for it to click for him or be relegated to a full time backup. Roll the dice....
    • Wrong.  At least we put a QB sneak in the play book and and add plays over 20 yards.
    • I don’t know if people realize that Evan’s was one of the top TE prospects in college  before having some horrible injuries. I wanna say he had two major injuries in back to back seasons which limited his play and dropped his draft stock.
