Terry Bradshaw have come a long way when he talks about Cam. He said Cam won't be as easy to stop. Is he saying Rodgers was? Interesting! Was this a passing of the guard? Kaep seems to have Rodgers' number.

I think the 9ers took rodgers' weapons away and Rodgers couldn't take advantage of wide open lanes.

If Rogers would have used his legs and played small ball they would have won. There was at least 6 times in that game where he could have got a first by scrambling.

Sometimes the QB need to do a little more than throw the ball to win. Especially playing against QBs who are doing just that. When you're playing against a QB who is not taking 2nd & 10 instead 2nd & 5 running the football, winning become more difficulty. Years back it might have been ok since you weren't facing those type of players. Now the game is changing. QBs are expected to give more, especially in the playoffs. I just think Rodgers didn't or just couldn't do enough. People keep yapping he's the greatest this, greatest that but for consecutive year against the same team he looks flat. The thing about pure pocket passers in the playoffs is that the defense knows where to find them.

      He is a great guy but a horrible reporter. He makes my skin crawl when I hear his name. I heard that babies cry and dogs attack him when he enters a room. Other than that he is a good dude. Now go burn in hades u sum bit.

      The job just really passed him by. He came up when basically you just needed to get three or four quotes, toss a couple of team provided stats in there, and stretch it out to column length. you got your copy in by 330, out the door by 4, then chill/shmooze the rest of the day. If you were really good you got a book deal. Every now and then you got to write an editorial. The goal of the profession was like Peter King where ostensibly you’re a beat writer for whomever but you get paid to just shoot the poo. now it’s a 24 hour job, you’ve gotta be social media savvy, the pace has increased substantially, you’re expected to produce more than ever, you gotta be able to look through bullshit etc. there’s still risk of industry capture where you just become a mouth piece. Sheena Quick is obviously shameless. I don’t think Newton ever aspired to be more than an inoffensive beat writer, but even that relatively simple role was just more than he was cut out for. its even worse when you’re covering a team that expects the Fourth Estate to act as a PR extension, or considers them on par with buying Twitter bots to promote Bryce. there were over thirty papers that covered the panthers first training camp. In that environment there’s room for boring guys like newton, and they may even be incentivized to push the boundary a little. But today that just isn’t the case and most of the guys are hanging on until retirement (person, gantt) or they’re good and gonna be matched up like Jordan. im not defending the current state of sports journalism, just saying that what counts as a meat and potatoes beat writer passed newton by. He’s retiring well past his sell by date, but that’s pretty common for his generation in general.
