These comparisons are somewhat irrelevant.
1. Brees and Brady both play in offenses that are less iterative them the Packers, so it’s easier for them to make reads.
2. If you give Rodgers is the same offensive line and protection that the other guys have, you would see dramatically different results
3. If you put either of those quarterbacks on the Packers, they would be in body bags by the fourth game of the year.
Not withstanding any of the foregoing, 12 needs to play better and make better choices.
Now, to those of us who would like to see more up-tempo, the reason it doesn’t happen is because of the Packer offense is more iterative. Rodgers and the younger wideouts are not on the same page even from the huddle. Accordingly they’re less likely to be on the same page and a two minute/up-tempo offense.
Other teams can play first and second-year players rather seamlessly, and we can’t seem to do that, which is extremely frustrating.

Maybe it's just all of our WR don't know what their doing?

Maybe that collarbone injury to his throwing arm is the problem? Could be the leg injury too. I dunno. Something is just way off this season.

What I found funny is that the leader of our offense doesn't even know who is on the field with him. Maybe it happens more than you would think with all the substitutions and all but i can't help but wonder if he throws that ball if he knows its Tonyan instead of Graham?

He knew who was on the field... he virtually always does. In the press conference he mentioned that he and "Robbie" Tonyan talked about taking that shot throughout the week. He also stated that what made it happen was that Tonyan came back into his field of view by angling his run to the right (had he continued straight deep Aaron wouldn't have been able to see him).

I'm sure this is going to come across as blind Rodgers worship, which is not what I'm intending, but I don't think most fans are giving the guy the credit he deserves. Yes, he appears to be having an off year. I feel spoiled by what he's done in the past, so it hurts extra now that he's playing like a human. But I feel like I've heard a lot of criticisms here that are really unfair. I don't feel like he's lied to us in a press conference or interview yet (I know I could be wrong, but it's what I think).

Week after week a lot of people say he isn't being accountable, but he puts blame on himself every week. He blames other factors too of course; like the short week for making preparation tough, or the receivers for not getting open on 3rd down or in scramble situations (from what I saw, I believe he's right on both counts). But he routinely takes blame for missing throws that he is accustomed to making. On the 3rd down play that essentially cost us the game he said the ball stuck in his hand too long. He said if he threw that pass 100 more times it probably wouldn't happen a single other time. As someone how tries to play sports at an amateur level that reflective quote meant a lot to me. He was devastated by his miscue, and he is stunned that it happened at all. Sometimes the one in a thousand error comes at the most inopportune time. So many things about that game really sucked.
