The first thing Rodgers should be doing is moving the chains. It is embarrassing that a MVP quarterback throws a 20 yard pass on 3rd down when he can easily pick up the yards with his feet. To me that is just football basics. You take what you are given and move on. It seems like he is so used to scoring quickly that he is not out of sorts that those plays are not there. I also think his play is rubbing off on the D. I know I would be pissed that I am getting put back on the field just because Aaron felt it beneath him to take the simple yards with his feet.

Most of us looked at that game and said who cares, he was efficient and we won the game. Unfortunately, in today's game, short passes don't cut it. Vic loves the long ball. He hates the dink and dunk and it seems the majority of fans agree with him. A QB can have a great rating and win the game but if he doesn't throw the long ball he is just so so. I'm not saying Rodgers is listening to any of these fans but it seems like he has the same mindset.
I'm not laying all the offensive woes at Aaron's feet. No one is playing consistently well these days. On the other hand, as several fans have liked to point out, Rodgers has been able to mask a lot of ills. Well he is doing something different now because he certainly is not masking anything.
