Your point is well taken. Keep in mind the writers at Lombardiave.com are not on the same level as ESPN or CBS Sports or the other major media outlets. It is a blog and I would not be surprised if they did not receive any compensation at all. They may since it it tied to SI and there are ads on the site but I am sure they have to have a real job as well. That doesn't mean they should not be held accountable at all. Don't look for a lot of substance you probably won't find it.

He throws the short high percentage plays underneath as much as anyone else. What are you even talking about? On top of that they routinely have one of the most efficient deep passing attacks of any team int he league. Rodgers is fine how he is and the offense is fine how it is.

As a result, he takes sacks while trying to buy time for one of his receivers to get open. On the play where he got hurt last year, he held on to the ball at least 4 seconds. That's too long.

If nobody is open right away he looks to extend the play with his feet to either scramble or throw when someone is open. Rodgers throws the underneath passes as much as any other QB in the league that isn't a check down specialist. I don't think we would like the look of this offense if all he did after 3 seconds was throw it to someone who is covered or throw it away.

I don't think that Rodgers doesn't like going with checkdowns to his RBs, it's just that RB has been so up and down the past few seasons he just doesn't have any confidence in the guys back there. He was more than willing to go to Benson, Lacy and Harris on checks once they showed they were reliable. But then Benson got hurt, the season ended with Harris and then he missed last year and Rodgers was out most of last season.

Exactly. It's pure CRAP about Rodgers holding the ball too long. Other QBs put the ball up for grabs and get interceptions; Rodgers does not - or does so as rarely as any QB I can remember in 60 or so years. Rodgers buys time and makes plays with his feet better than almost any QB past or present whose primary weapon is his throwing arm.

Let the deep pattern develop; If it doesn't, THEN hit the guy open underneath - and NEVER put it up for grabs. A sack is a setback; An Interception is a disaster.

Never mind that he probably has the best accuracy in the league, I'll take Rodgers' method and judgment also over that of any other QB.

It takes longer to run farther downfield than it takes to run short routes dude. Not sure you get that.
