The Green Bay Packers are a perfect 3-0 to start the season, having already defeated two rivals, the Chicago Bears and Minnesota Vikings. Although the Packers are not the most flashy team in the league, Green Bay continues to be led by veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who has adapted well to the new offensive system put in place by first year NFL head coach Matt LaFleur.

While many believe that Rodgers is declining as he is certainly not getting any younger, Mike Sando of The Athletic recently spoke to one NFL coach that thinks such a notion is just silly.

“Of course, anyone with more than two pens in his pocket protector (not saying how many I have in mine) can make a statistical case that Rodgers is in decline and might not hold up his end, even if the Packers’ defense is legit,” writes Sando. “That’s a conversation for another day, although one coach I spoke with Sunday night pushed back with a good one-liner: ‘“All the guys who think Rodgers dropped off don’t play him.”'

Despite the fact that Rodgers and the Packers play in one of the tougher divisions in all of football, his prowess under center coupled with a revamped defense surely places Green Bay toward the top of the NFC in terms of most complete rosters and well-rounded talent. As long as Rodgers remains under center and the team's defense remains stout, the Packers should have absolutely no problem reaching the postseason in 2019-20.
