I wonder how much of his praise for Lazard is also calling out the lack of concern by other receivers.
VIDEO: Aaron Rodgers loves Allen Lazard

As a lifelong Vikings fan, it's really confusing as I find myself at least in part rooting for the Packers and Bears each week thanks to AL and DM. I just hope Purdy turns himself into a first round talent, gets drafted by Min after his senior season, and goes on to play 15 years and win multiple super bowls with them.
Great to see. Once he caught that TD his hands got better. He clearly wanted the ball.
His blocking and ability to get 5-10 yards on the outside are roster worthy.

Apparently there's some controversy whether it was actually a TD
"Allen pays attention in meetings...."
pretty sure that was a shot at how much Rogers treats this as a business.
As a fellow Cyclone and Viking fan, I hope Brock never EVER plays for the Minnesota.
As a Packers fan, I hope the Bears lose every game despite a valiant effort from DM. I think that's a happy medium.
His knee was done outside the end zone. That said he didn't have control of the ball until he was fully in the ez. That was how it was described by someone here last night.
Awesome for Allen. Hard work pays off. They'll have a tough time keeping him off the field now.
Also, absolutely gorgeous throw by Rodgers. Lazard was the only guy who could make a play on it. With all the love and attention being lavished on Mahomes (rightly so), it's easy to forget the arm talent that Rodgers still has.

MVS is trash and Allison is at best a poor man's Randall Cobb. Lazard has real opportunity here
Probably goes to the Lions as Matthew Stafford's replacement in 2 years.
Lol, Allison's game is nothing like that of Randall Cobb. MVS wasnt even healthy in the 2nd half as he got rolled up on early.
There is definitely room for Allen to carve out a role. The packers have 1 great receiver (Adams) , 1 decent to good (MVS) and the rest are 4th or 5 guys at best. When Adams gets back I’d love to see him in the slot with Lazard playing wide next to him. Allen would have 1 on 1 matchups all day and Adams would be carving up nickels and safeties.
It seems to me on the illegal hands to the face calls could have been defensive holding calls instead. Same result. Not a Packet or Lion's fan.
I actually had to go watch it again, but you could argue he was down at the 1. Knee hit just before he crossed the endzone.
Im glad he got the score tho, cheers to him
It's never fun watching the Pack win but I'll admit, AL's TD catch got this old lifelong Bears fan on his feet. It's always great seeing ISU kids do well in the league but seeing Lazard have success is an entirely different level. He could have went somewhere else and won more games, he stayed home and ended up being one of (probably THE) most important players in the football programs rebuild. He deserves this, can't describe how happy I am to see him getting the pub he's getting. The Rodgers comments, Sportscenter, SVP, he's earned it all. The best part, this is just the beginning for him.
Even though I've pulled for the other Chicago teams to varying degrees my whole life, living in Chicago for 15 years after leaving ISU actually pushed me away from being a Bears fan in a pretty major way. It's sooooooo easy to cheer for AL and the Packers. I'd compare the lack of grasp on reality of a typical Bears fan living in Chicago to the same level of delusion that Nebraska football fans have had for the past 15 years. It's pretty identical.
Those of you who dislike GB because you're Vikings fans, I have no clue about that. Now that I don't live in Chicago it will be easier for me to follow their games cheering on DM. I just couldn't get on board with millions of people in mass delusion/hysteria that was the local Bears fan base and especially local insane media.
