How good is Aaron Rodgers? on a different level to any quarterback in the NFL at the moment(even Brady and Romo). rodgers has a passer rating of 141.0 when throwing outside the pocket. Unbelievable.

Alex Smith's rating against this blitz is something around 137.

Jason LaCanfora Tweeted that Lloyd is heading to the Rams, there's a big play WR who can catch for you

Very happy

Apparently it's not a completely done deal yet - hopefully just ironing out all the details.

Wonder what we gave up for him??

With Clayton about to come back, Alexander and Lloyd we have 3 guys who can actually catch a ball.

Can't believe someone mentioned Romo in the same sentence as Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers

Genuine LOL moment..

Yet I'd still rather have Brady and the last drive last night showed why. Not to mention all the yards he's put up this year.

As for Romo...not even a top 15 QB.

Up until this season I'd have a agreed with you but Brady is making mistakes this year. Throw in how much more complicated the Packers offense is and I have to admit that Rodgers is currently the best active QB in the league.

Sims-Walker released as well - massive bust as a Ram anyway.

The receiving corps was massively improved yesterday - still a couple of drops but overall they did well, especially Salas.

We just need a secondary now!!

Yeah Sims-Walker was a complete failure. Him not been active yesterday made it look like the writing was on the wall. I agree we were improved yesterday but we still made some big drops. What the hell has happened to Kendricks pre-season hands?!

Our secondary this year is just one of those freak things. To get hit that hard with injuries in one area is crazy but thats football. I think with Lloyd on board and Clayton returning we may just be able to put together 5-6 wins this season.

I would agree with this, although a few of the INT's Brady has thrown have been tipped so I guess there is an element of bad luck involved but it happens to everyteam over the course of a season so can't complain.

We had a lot of tipped balls that were not intercepted in his 358(?) passes without an INT last year that really should have been so I guess things are just balancing themselves out!
