Oh I know, I mentioned these on the Board. Also mention the first drive of the 2nd half I believe it was, had like a 2nd and 6 at midfield. TE, out left as a WR. Safety creeps up then breaks off the TE, and shows blitz. Never moved off it, and actually did blitz. In years past Rodgers throws that ball quickly out there, and the TE honestly didn't have a DB within 8-10 yards of him. How do you miss that stuff? A 3rd string QB makes that read? Instead he rolls right away from the blitz and throws the ball away.. Brutal, Rodgers is playing like a backup right now. I'd sit him quick, before he blows our chances at getting a meaningful coach in here who actually can see he can't play right now..

I've been on the Rodgers end of the MM vs AR debate for a long time, but something is wrong with #12 and it cost GB games this year. Including on Sunday. Either age, the injuries adding up, something mental, confidence, lack of confidence in his WRs. Some combination thereof. Not sure.

He hasn't been as good on the deep balls the last few years as he was on the front end of his career. Constantly throwing too long. This year he was a disaster on deep thrown balls. An utter disaster.

Hope things change, or GB just through away a lot of dough to Mr. Rodgers. Hope he can fix it.

Rodgers has been mediocre this year, no doubt about it.. He cost us the game yesterday. He cost us the game vs SEA just as much as MM. He missed plenty of throws all year.

The scary part is the possibility of this level of performance being Rodgers' new baseline going forward.
Coaching is NOT the reason for the missed throws which have dominated this season.

I believe he has been injured throughout the year with the knee preventing him from planting his left foot most times. I wouldn’t be surprised if his shoulder contributed to his mechanics being less than ideal. An off-season of rest and rehab should be restorative.

Bench Rodgers for rest of year If anything wrong[which I doubt except age and being pretty much washed up]let it heal with no practice and getting whacked around constantly. I would really like to see Boyle out there and see what he offers. Kizer is a complete wash I would guess and/or bet!

Great video analysis of #12's struggles in 2018. Back in 2010 and 2011, Aaron never missed these exact same throws. In fact, he made them look easy. What happened? $110 million dollar contract may have extinguished his motivation, or is it his new Yoko Ono activist girlfriend?

I would really appreciate one of the WI Sports Writers asking Rodgers exactly what "detail" MVS was missing on that play. I'd like to know for sure, is there something my non Pro Football mind is missing. Or, is that just BS.

If we are completely honest with ourselves. If Rodgers completed 1/2 of the off target throws he has had this year, we are probably sitting with 1-2 more wins at least.

The Cardinals game, if he hits Cobb in stride and allows him to run with the ball he probably gains 5 or so more yards. That would be enough for Crosby to make the kick.

Just this game if he hits MVS in stride he probably has a TD.
There have been a number of other throws that if he hits them the game changes.

What I want to know though is why? Why are the throws off? He has been great with some throws but some are just way off. Is it from an injury? Is it from his shoulder surgery last year? Is it old age?

The interesting thing I saw today is that Manning, Brady, Brees and another QB all had down years in their 14th years. Came back to a great year the following. Will that happen with Rodgers?

this is really good journalism.. one cannot deny what the tape is telling. for those that say that injury is the reason: maybe it his new groin injury.. i dunno. regardless, i am interested to see what Kizer might do with the 2 remaining games.

For me the game changing play was the recovered FF. That put the Packers in the game and allowed them to score their only TD. The game killing drive was when the refs handed Chi a TD with 2 poor calls. After seeing the game handed to Chi on a silver platter it left 2018 once more with a terrible taste.

I know as a fan I'm biased towards the Packers but even talking to fans of other teams they commented on how GB got hosed this year.

Could you imagine carimicheal calling plays with Adams MVS EQ Moore and throw in Jones and Williams to be the backs plus the tight ends. The speed and ability to get match ups would be a nightmare for defenses to stop on a weekly basis.
Saints have ran 11 12 13 personnel. Then 3 wides and two backs and have run play action and power run game out of all of them. This is a complete offense to work with Brees strength as a passer. I really think Rodgers would love this offensive system.

I'm not even really concerned with over throwing guys on deep vertical routes. That is going to happen. It's really the least of my concerns with Rodgers this year. (I'd be more concerned if he were underthrowing the deep vertical routes on a regular basis.. uhh, which he kind of was during a lot of the season.)

What is most concerning to me from 2018 Rodgers was his consistently poor placement of the ball to WRs coming across the field on mid-range routes. Failing to lead his WRs, putting the ball behind them (when there is no strategic reason to do so.) Placing balls far too high or far too low. WRs regularly having to completely break stride, or stop, or fight the defender for the ball, because of where it was placed. throwing to the inside shoulder of the WR down the sideline instead of hitting the outside shoulder when there's a defender trailing.

Those are the types of poor throws that were on display throughout the entirety of 2018 and largely went unnoticed (or at least, went un-reported, because, no one can question AR's throws, ever, and don't you know, he didn't have many Interceptions, so you know he's still just fine.)

I find a whole in my heart where CHTV circa 2009 used to be, and the comments here circa 2015+ only serve to remind me of that void (or whichever year it was when “Cow” first showed up guns-a-blazin’).

I’m baffled by the Rodgers hate. Look, the 2018 Packers are a big knot that’s still getting untied. It took more than one season to get tangled up, and it will take more than one season to set it straight.

Good quarterbacks, and especially even diminished great ones, are hard to come by. Maybe growing up with the hapless ‘80s Packers taught me to count my blessings. Maybe just looking around the league in 2018 does the same (*cough* Kirk Cousins *cough*).

Rodgers has had bad stretches before, but consider the noise. His beef with McCarthy early this year was that McCarthy was not coaching the offense during practices, and then calling games without incorporating the lessons learned at those practices.

He’s expressed in years past the importance of his QB coach in pushing him and keeping him accountable. That was just before Van Pelt was hired to replace MacAdoo, IIRC. He loved Van Pelt for his good coaching, and has spent all 2018 trying to replace that with a new QB coach (they did hire a replacement, right?). He’s a guy who thrives on good coaching, and hasn’t gotten much of it this year.

Veteran receivers? 1 and a half. I love Cobb as much as anyone, but when he isn’t injured he’s usually not open. Maybe Rodgers worries about Cobb taking big hits over the middle. He said on his old show with Wilde that it’s his job to protect his receivers especially over the middle. Sure enough, he finally forces the ball and Cobb ends up in the concussion protocol.

Devante can’t carry all the water for the receiving corps. Two rookies stepped up early, and one activated late in the season off IR, but even future All-Pros start with pedestrian numbers. Lots of promise for 2020, but not much help in 2018. Same for the TE group, though Graham is well past peak. Tonyan shows potential, and Lewis was criminally underutilized. As for running backs, well, there’s at least one that wasn’t on someone else’s practice squad when the season started or spent 1/4 of the season suspended (or injured) or was shipped off to a far away division.

The O-line you say? Glad you brought it up. Nothing builds pocket presence like going up against elite pass rushers week after week with 2nd and 3rd string walk-ons with a coach who doesn’t believe in giving lineman help (seriously, Mercedes Lewis played at most like 5-10 plays a game—at best: WTH?). It’s a miracle Rodgers has only lost his knee thus far. I’m not even kidding. It took firing McCarthy before we saw classic blitz-beaters like slants come back (which I thought after game 1 would surely be the identity of this offense this year, go figure).

Never mind the worst officiating we’ve seen from non-replacement refs, or the complete pistol whipping the NFL scheduling department gave the Packers. They’ve played nearly every 2018 playoff team during the regular season, on the road no less, so really, we can just pretend we choked somewhere in the Divisional round or NFC Championship and call it a day.

When it comes to Rodgers, the only legitimate concern is whether he suffered permanent nerve damage in this throwing shoulder after his hit in the Vikings game last year. But Rodgers has been overthrowing deep receivers since 2008 (*cough* Finley over the middle in OT in Arizona in 2009 *cough*). Rodgers is human, not a god, not an Avenger, not even a product of a secret government program to create super-QBs. It doesn’t even require nerve damage to explain the year he’s had. The 100th Packers season was just a good old-fashioned S.N. A.F. U.

it figures rodgers isn't playing right look at him in 2010 when they won the superbowl i remember a pass he threw to jennings it was just over the out reach hands of the d-back for a touchdown and now throwing over receivers heads something is very wrong with him

Receivers were certainly open, Khalil Mack was also being held.

My take is simple, Aaron Rodgers is hurrying his throwing motion. He's not reeelaxed. Why, because he has become flinchy from hits. Mack got a sack because Aaron panicked that Spriggs wasn't able to hold him off when he actually did. Mack had is back to Rodgers and Aaron panicked and went down. Aaron has his head down more this year on the pass rush than I can ever remember! He needs to feel protected again and that starts with a competent line and a quick rhythm system whether he likes it or not! We need that coach to right the offense, which will in turn right our Hall of Fame QB!
