“I can promise you we need him, and we’re a better offense with ‘17’ on the field,” Rodgers said of his top target. “We’ve just been spreading it out a little bit more and guys have been stepping up. I think it’s given everybody a chance to see the talent that we have.”
As for what may lie ahead, intriguing wasn’t Rodgers’ word of choice.
“When you learn to win in different ways then you become a lot more dangerous offense, because you just have so many more different things you can throw at a defense,” he said. “That’s what makes you a true, dangerous offense.”
OK, then, consider the rest of the NFC warned. Because the guy taking snaps Sunday already looked pretty dangerous.
Take it from the teammate who watches him probably more closely than any other, his backup, Tim Boyle, who stepped in to finish up Rodgers’ masterpiece.
“It is incredible, absolutely incredible, what he did today,” Boyle said. “Today was one of those days where you have to trust the guys in your locker room.
“The fact that Aaron played pretty much a perfect game, it really is unbelievable. He stands in there, makes all these throws and gets hit, and he keeps plugging along. Honestly, it’s pretty awe-inspiring to watch.”
Whatever fraction gets assigned to it.
