Aaron Rodgers' Unbelievable Consistency in the Pocket

The table below shows the average time a passer has to before he throws the ball, gets sacked, or crosses the line of scrimmage for five of the best quarterbacks in the league over the last four years.

Holding the ball too long as not a virtue, even if you're an accurate downfield passer.

This past January, for example.

Holding the ball too long....yes, that happens. But how many other QB's panic and throw the ball instead of holding onto it, forcing a interception?
I'd rather have him keep it then force a throw turning the ball over.

It's total crap - this idiotic criticism of Rodgers for holding on to the ball too long. If there are stats saying he waits a longer time to throw, they are a product of his escapability, and they are more than justified by his amazing accuracy throwing on the run.

Throwing interceptions loses games; Throwing completions, especially down the field, especially especially for TDs, those things win games. It's as simple as that.

I will say again what somebody disagreed with the other day, AARON RODGERS IS A BETTER QB NOT ONLY THAN ANYBODY ELSE PLAYING NOW, BUT THAN ANYBODY ELSE IN THE HISTORY OF THE NFL - Better than Brady and P. Manning, better than Elway or Montana or Unitas, and yes, better even than the other two Packer greats who rank near the top all time.

My question is those who are always bashing the Packers offensive line. If the OL is so terrible, how the hell is Aaron Rodgers holding onto the ball for so long?

And the O Line ain't terrible, at least not IMO. It's just not great - maybe borderline between good and mediocre.

beast (10h) : Yeah, but is Kampman and the others in the NFL Hall of Fame?

Zero2Cool (10h) : Johnson was Hall of Fame, 2020. Should haev been in Ring a year later, not three years.

Zero2Cool (10h) : I could be wrong there though

Zero2Cool (10h) : Guys like Kampman, Tim Harris, Al Harris, etc all over 15 years. Hall of Fame is 5 year wait

Zero2Cool (10h) : I guess I see players in Packers Hall come way later

Zero2Cool (10h) : is it uncommon for Hall before Ring?

Zero2Cool (12h) : Jones took his sweet ole time!

Zero2Cool (12h) : Yeah, he's in the ring of honor, just saw video and his name is up there

Zero2Cool (12h) : Didn't they have a thing in 2023 for Jimmy's ring of honor? I swear I saw it

beast (13h) : Though if they're legitimately trying to re-sign MM, then it makes sense.

beast (13h) : Jerry Jones still hasn't put Jimmy Johnson in the Ring of Honor, but he's in the NFL's Hall of Fame, Jones is petty

Mucky Tundra (8-Jan) : Unless the Cowboys are planning an extension, seems kinda petty

beast (8-Jan) : Cowboys denied Bears request

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : From what I'm reading, MM is under contract through the 14th of January; after that he's free game

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : McCarthy let go or not extended??

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Chicago Bears have asked the Dallas Cowboys permission to interview Mike McCarthy for head coaching vacancy

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : The winners page that is

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : I was not hoping for that. It messes up the page lol

beast (6-Jan) : Thank you, and I was really opening we were going to get 4 or more tied for the top 3.

beast (6-Jan) : Thank you, and I was really opening we were going to get 4 or more tied for the top 3

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Oh so the refs do know what intentional grounding is

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : what the hell was that Goff?! Not much pressure and he just air mails it to Harrison

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : They really need to to get rid of the auto first down for illegal contact

Martha Careful (6-Jan) : watching the Vikings and Lions it's understandable why they swept the Packers. So much better product

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Even when GB got pressure he was throwing darts; vs no pressure on that last pass he just air mails an open guy

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : didn't have guys in his face ... pressure makes difference

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Where was this Darnold vs GB?

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : BALL DON'T LIE

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : how was that not a safety? Goff throws it at an offensive lineman

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Zero, I thought that was a given! ;)

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Zero I looked through earlier and noticed the same thing. Bonkers year. I just wonder if beast put any money on games
