With Mike McCarthy gone, the pressure is on Rodgers to make it work in Matt LaFleur’s system. Obviously, Rodgers is accustomed to having the burden of carrying the Packers. But if things don’t go well this season, he can’t point the finger at McCarthy.

On top of that, he doesn’t have the greatest supporting cast around him. In fact, he’s not all that familiar with his receivers now that Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb have moved on over the past couple of seasons. Rodgers has Davante Adams and an aging Jimmy Graham, but most of Green Bay’s other passing targets are largely unproven. Like most elite quarterbacks, Rodgers has to raise the level of everyone around him, and if he doesn’t, there’s little hope for Green Bay to reach the playoffs.
