Last year he had a tendency to hold the ball too long and take a sack. At the time I was pleased with those habits, as a seven yard loss is leaps and bounds better than throwing a prayer at triple-coverage. I was confident that this would be a focus of the off-season and he would come back this year ready to improve. But he has gotten even worse. Is pocket presence an intangible quality that some guys just never have? I hope not. But I had hoped that he would have figured something out by now.

And he didn't see the Vikings LB because he came around from behind Kuhn and a Viking player that were tangling. So Rodgers is trying to turn his body, looking downfield when the LB comes out of nowhere into his line of sight and it was just too late for him to do anything.

I've written about McCarthy before and how he abandons the run as soon as they fall behind. You’re right Stan.

It's tough enough to win a game without running the ball much, but in a game like this, Monday Night, hyped up more than a......hyped thing...... damn, your gonna make mistakes, I don't care who you are.

This was the first game where I really had a problem with him holding onto the ball too long. It happened on at least the two plays you discussed, and I thought the worst one was where he was outside of the pocket, in the open field, and he just let that linebacker drill him. What was up with that? There was no excuse at all for that one. Having said that, I still think that Rodgers' holding onto the ball too long is a very minor problem compared to the horrible O-line play.

On several plays he stepped up in the pocket nicely. However, you're right Al. He's just not reading things very well. He's a young quarterback and I think he'll develop just fine. But he'd better get started soon if the Packers expect to do much this season. I thought Aaron made some improvements this game. On several plays he stepped up in the pocket nicely.
