If you do steelers, start with Roethlisberger getting in trouble with the law and Steelers owner had enough and traded him out. Look for picking up Matt Flynn and make him a franchise qb.

haha you love seeing those big name QB's bite the dust.

If he goes that route, I vote for picking up Packers rookie QB BJ Coleman and making him your guy. I met him before he was drafted. Seemed like a hard-working, all business all the time kind of guy. I'd do it myself if I didn't have Stafford. Although, It probably wouldn't get the popular vote.

Rodgers in MVP Form, Throws Decisive TD in 32-27 Win

The Lions lose a close game, 32-27, that had over 800 yards of offense combined.

"We couldn't stop him," said an exhausted-looking Jim Schwartz to an on-field reporter about Aaron Rodgers. "I don't know," he said, shaking his head, "We've had a hard time getting four quarters from our defense."

Frustration is clearly beginning to set in for Schwartz and his team, who have occupied last place in the NFC North all season and are watching their Playoff hopes rapidly fade.

The Lions did gain the lead for a short period late during the fourth quarter. In the midst of a 13-0 Detroit run to take their first lead, Rodgers silenced the crowd on the next drive with the go-ahead touchdown to Jordy Nelson. Down by five points with thirty seconds to play and still not to midfield, Stafford was intercepted by Shields to seal the game for Green Bay.

Most Lions players, both on the field and on the sidelines, had that "Is this really happening?" look on their faces as Rodgers picked apart the secondary. Rodgers looked every bit like the MVP today. He completed 38 passes, including 6+ passes to each of four different receivers - all while maintaining a 90% clip. No matter what he was faced with at the line of scrimmage, Rodgers diagnosed it quickly and executed with precision. He officially put his stamp on the game after eclipsing 20,000 passing yards for his career.

Assuming all recovery efforts continue on schedule, Tron will make his return next week on Thanksgiving.
