Flynn -- starting in place of Aaron Rodgers -- threw for 480 yards and six touchdowns against the Lions, astronomical numbers that gave birth -- almost impossibly -- to the narrative that Rodgers is a system quarterback. An excellent system quarterback, mind you, but still just one of any number of players who can excel in the Packers' juggernaut offensive scheme.
As you might expect, Packers wide receiver Jordy Nelson isn't buying it.
Thats a joke. I think thats very disrespectful for people to say that about Aaron," Nelson said Monday on WSSP in Milwaukee (via SportsRadioInterviews.com). "The year hes had, the past couple years hes had, have been incredible. I think thats very disrespectful for a guy whos put a lot of time, a lot of effort, a lot of work into his game.
"To have a great year, as hes had
and now all of the sudden hes a system quarterback. I dont agree with any of that.

Well said, Jordy. Matt's been watching Aaron all season, and taking snaps in practice.
