God damn, I'm excited about this guy's future. He's such a mismatch anywhere he lines up.

Still only 23 too!

just got to say again that I love this vid and the music to go along with it (ie like to be able to hear the game in the background of the vid)

Someone please tell me why this man wasn't drafted earlier?

Oh, and that play in the Cardinals game by Rodgers on the designed rollout to the right (completion to Finley down to the 20) was a thing of beauty. Rodgers completed that pass on the sheer strength of his shoulder alone -- no follow-through whatsoever.

And while I've said it before, I'll say it again: There are times Rodgers' mechanics are so Favresque, I feel waves of dj vu. I can't help wonder if his and Favre's natural styles are really just that similar, if he consciously modeled himself on Favre's mechanics, or if McCarthy molded him into what he is now. What I find puzzling is that Favre was always laughed at for having unconventional mechanics, while Rodgers is frequently (now) cited as an example of beautiful mechanics. Considering the similarities in their styles, I don't know how to reconcile those two facts. Maybe someone with more football smarts than I can clue me in.

Maybe this looks like late-Favre mechanics. After he settled down a little.

The biggest thing is that Rodgers usually does what is mechanically sound. He doesn't break the basic rules. Favre steps up, hops back, moves left a little, goes to the right and throws it to the left side off the field from the right sideline.

Rodgers steps up, scrambles to his right and uses just the right half of the field. I can't recall the last time that Rodgers threw it accross his body like Favre did in the NFCC game.

At least, that's what I think. You're going to need someone else to go deeper on that. I'm still not that much of an expert on QBs.

And I have to agree. Why wasn't Finley drafted earlier than he was? At the time he was drafted, everyone was talking about his athletic ability and playmaking skills, already.

People knew that, had he stayed in college for another year, he could've been a 1st round pick.

I guess they got scared by his 4.82 40 at the combine and his poor blocking skills. Maybe he interviewed a little poorly, as well. He's not the smartest person in the world and having 3 children with 3 different women might've been somewhat of a red flag. Although I don't know if that matters to NFL teams.

He would have been drafted earlier if he had come out of school a year later. Most thought he was too raw and too much of a project, the Packers felt differently.

Think of this more as the Packers doing very well on selecting him, rather than the rest of the league making a mistake on not selecting him before us.
