Analysis: Is this what Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers came back for?
“It’s always tricky with quarterbacks like this,” said one high-ranking NFL front office official whose franchise has endured a situation like this, speaking on the condition of anonymity because he is not permitted to discuss other team’s personnel issues. “You almost always end up holding on to them a year or two too long. We did …. You’re dealing with a lot of ego and emotion. It gets complicated when they’re not what they used to be.
Rodgers, who wanted more sway in personnel among his list demands to return to Green Bay before an eventual detente, is more empowered than ever to say whatever he feels, whenever he feels like it. His postgame remarks Sunday, echoing a repeated refrain to “simplify” the offense, were met around the league as a rebuff of head coach Matt LaFleur, who is dealing with real football tumult for the first time in his fourth season on the job.
With the Steelers really banged up at linebacker and throughout the secondary, some in that organization were shocked there were not more downfield passes in Tampa Bay’s game plan last week. The images of Brady berating his linemen — during a week in which he missed some football workTampa Bay has been held to 21 points or less in five of its six games, and Brady is on pace for his fewest touchdown passes since 2003, despite the 17-game schedule.
