Colin Kaepernick, Aaron Rodgers, Larry Fitzgerald & A.J. Green: San Francisco 49ers & Green Bay Packers Failing In NFL While Arizona Cardinals & Cincinnati Bengals On Fire

We are approaching week 4 of the 2014 NFL season and, as always, there's been some huge surprises. Colin Kaepernick and his San Francisco 49ers and Aaron Rodgers and his Green Bay Packers were tipped to be Super Bowl contenders, but both are 1-2, and have had awful starts, prompting to some fans wanting a QB change. The Arizona Cardinals and Cincinnati Bengals are on fire, and that's largely down to the impact Larry Fitzgerald and A.J. Green have had. Have these four teams set the tone for their season, or will they both go through the good, the bad and the ugly?

Kaepernick and Rodgers practically have the key to the city, and are loved by their teams, but some fans are furious, believing they should be playing far better for their teams, given they're earning more than most QB. Although it doesn't all fall at the feet of the team's QB, many believe that they should be able to better motivate their teammates, and lead them in the manner that Peyton Manning is always able to do, no matter who he has on the field.

It's an entirely different situation for Larry and A.J. who seemingly cannot put a foot wrong. The wide receivers have always been a threat for their teams, but this year, their on-field performances, and their off-field leadership are key reasons that their teams have started strongly. Many are wondering if they're legitimate Super Bowl contenders, or if they're just enjoying an early season run of form.

Will things change, or will these four teams and their players follow in this style for the remainder of the season?
