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.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      Rico walking is no big deal. I'll take a healthy 2024 Hubbard over Rico any time and losing Mays is, again, no a big deal.  Young is signed for what, $35M for the next two years? Say he wants $50M but the FO doesn't. If they put the franchise tag on him, that would be around $55? So basically they are getting Young for the next 3 years for an average of $30M per year. Putting the franchise tag on him wouldn't be my first choice but it gives them an option that wouldn't be locking him into a long term, $50M contract. I'm not suggestion they do that. Just that the option will be there should they get to that point. Hunt is on a 5 year deal which is done in 28 so he either restructures or is gone anyway. Moton will be 35 by then and will either be gone or have diminished playing time. Neither of those players has anything to do with getting Young a contract. The O line is way overpaid anyway. Hopefully by the time they are gone, Freeling and Hecht will be developed and Ickey will be healthy. Young was benched his second year and only got his job back because Dalton was injured. Not sure how you can call that entitled. And I would NOT say putting a rookie QB on a team with no receivers, tight ends or O lineman and then being put with a coach who never wanted you and is fired mid season, is a definition of luck. As far as competition, no team is going to bring in competition for a QB picked first overall - especially given the capital that was given up to get him.
