The Green Bay Packers no longer need Aaron Rodgers to be Aaron Rodgers, and that has made them more dangerous than at any point since their last Super Bowl run in 2010.
The arrival of head coach Matt LeFleur has reconfigured the entire offense and the organization with it. Things still run through Rodgers, because he’s Rodgers. But the system is less reliant on his individual brilliance.
The late-period Mike McCarthy-Rodgers era Packers were running on fumes. Too often they were reliant on the quarterback to be perfect on each and every down, and on receivers to consistently create separation one-on-one.
