ESPN analyst and former Lions quarterback Dan Orlovsky huddles with Post columnist Steve Serby for some Q&A.Q: What did you observe about Aaron Rodgers this year?A: Aaron’s played OK.I don’t think Aaron’s played as bad as people believe he has.
I don’t think Aaron’s played well.I don’t love their offensive scheme, I’ve talked about that, but Aaron looks like a guy that doesn’t want to get hit right now.
He can still throw it.Aaron was always a killer, that killer instinct, that dawg mentality.
He always had that, when he walked onto the field he felt he was the baddest dude on the field, like there was nobody better than him.It doesn’t look like that anymore.Q: What would your advice for Woody Johnson be?A: If you just take a step back and go, “What organizations have been the best and the most consistent in the last 20 years of the NFL?” You’re looking at the Baltimore Ravens, you’re looking at the Pittsburgh Steelers, you’re looking at the San Francisco 49ers, you’re looking at the Buffalo Bills.
And it’s very clear that 1) They hire a general manager that is really good at the job, and I think Joe [Douglas] had moments when he was.That’s as big a hire as any.
And then you got to hire the head coach that’s going to build the organization and demand that it’s run in the proper way.And then you got to obviously get a quarterback.Q: What did you make of the report that Woody suggested benching Aaron Rodgers after Week 4?A: I had heard that report in Week 4.
I didn’t believe it, because I was like, “No way.” My response was, “There’s just no way that this is real.” It just seemed overreactionary.Even when they fired Robert Saleh, I went on national TV and said, “This feels overreactionary.” I think there’s just been a lot of overreaction.Q: Some GMs will be scared away, some won’t.A: That’s the concern, what happens if that’s the guy that’s best for the job? There’s only 32 of ’em, so yeah,...
