Rodgers looked like Campbell on a few plays, holding on the ball too long, taking unnecessary sacks and fumbling the ball on contact. I guess even the good quarterbacks fumble the ball and throw interceptions when pressured. According to this site, only Jason Campbell makes mistakes when he is under fire.

I totally agree and yes the Vikings d-line (similar to the Giants) and defense as a whole is that good. Good QBs make mistakes also. If some people can remember when we played the Giants. Manning had a similar line to JC's. He had a fumble and a int in that game also. In the game against KC he had a fumble also. Dont know about the rest of his line in that game. But even good QBs on undefeated teams make mistakes.

Do some recall what happened when Coughlin got to New York. How people were saying the same things about Eli Manning as they were about Campbell (difference is Eli had more years under his belt -- allowed to make mistakes and grown-- and so did his brother for that matter). How they started off rough. Can anyone tell me what happened after that? Not saying that JC is Eli or we are the Giants. But there are alot of similarities. The difference is between our FO and theirs. They stuck with Eli. Instead of embarassing him by trying to get other QBs in the offseason one after another. The difference in their FO and ours is they have balls. The fans might have been angry. But if they had caved in they would have never went to the Superbowl. People want to carve JC up and tear him down as much as they can. What other QB in this league has gone through what JC has as far as instabilty? He might not be perfect but he is not horrible. We can break down game tape or whatever. But maybe we just need to believe in him instead of being overly critical. Maybe that will help him get over the hump. But some people are too spoiled and unrealitisc. He is still growing as a QB. What if NY had given up on Eli and you know he was getting it from the fans as much as JC was. But the FO believed in him. Nobody believes in JC but his teammates and coaches. The fans that used to support him are falling off too. But in the end. I root for the underdog. He has been nothing but a model player and a good example to children and other people. He could have easily been a little whiny diva of a player. He may not be the best. But he is the best we got. IF he got more support maybe he would do better because he would be under less pressure and when you believe in people they can excel far beyond your expectations. Okay I am off my soap box now..lol
