Rodgers looks like he's on a mission this year after management put a burr up his saddle this offseason. They didn't just draft a QB with their first-rounder, they traded up for it, then topped that off by drafting a backup RB in the second round when they already have Aaron Jones.
Well, as a Packer fan, we did it all for the right reasons. The difference with Rodgers isn't a fire under his butt, it's that he's throwing on schedule and not throwing off platform as much. He's releasing the ball earlier in his reads than he has the last 5 years prior. He's trusting his guys more and realizing that he was the problem last year. If drafting a QB made Rodgers self reflect, it was worth it 100%.
I'm also of the ilk that you don't pay Running Backs. I love Jones but it's just not the position you spend money on. If anything, we come to an agreement with Bakhtiari and then tag Jones for around $8 million next year. So it's not a problem until 2021.
