I think it's also fair to take it a step further and note that in addition to stating his desire, he also clearly indicated at numerous points that he wasn't/didn't devote any of the offseason to football activities to 'clear his mind', etc. I'll be the first to admit that I don't know what his typical/previous offseasons have looked like from a 'football activities' standpoint, but yesterday it certainly looked like he hadn't devoted much time to football vs. other things this offseason.... From all the beat writers accounts Rodgers was locked in and throwing the ball incredibly well all pre-season. Practice speed against the Packer defense is quite a bit different from game speed against a legit one.
