QB and Coaching both get an A. I wonder who is making who better?

Even you would have to admit it might be a little bit of both.

Favre > Chilly

A lot of Favre and a tiny bit of Chilly.

Good read.

Am I the only one who thinks that 'C' for Special Teams is too low of a grade?
I would venture a guess that we are near the top of the league in ST stats.
Further, if you consider where they were the year prior, a higher grade is warranted in my mind.

I can go with that as long as you will admit that the WCO is fun to watch when you have a QB who can run it.

My guess, wins was the biggest reason to bring him in.
TJ's maturation was the second reason.
I would love to sit in on the film study now.
I can hear coach Rodgers now,.....

a.
Coach Rodgers......TJ, you see what happened there.

b.
TJ.......Yeah coach.

c.
Coach Rodgers....Good, do it that way from now on, not like what you saw BJ, Gus, Holcomb etc doing it.

LOL of course. It is much better when you have a QB to run it.

I think Chilly has improved.
A few mistakes here and there imo but for the whole he has done a pretty good job in game planning, scheming and play calling has been pretty good.
By playcalling I mean making decisions to go for the jugular whether they worked or not.
Everyone makes mistakes.
Let's not forget that it was Chilly that overpursued Favre and we wouldn't be 7-1 without Favre imo.
Chilly deserves credit for that just as he would deserve blame if they were 4-4.

I think special teams should be higher....atleast B-

I also dont know that Coaching gets an A...personnel wise they have definitely earned it....but we have been out-coached in the 4th quarter in a lot of games.
That aspect I think comes back ont eh coach and not being able to make game adjustments.
I think they need toi be putting teams away in the 3rd quarter to really get an A.
These next 3 weeks will allow us to do that.
