Aaron Rodgers is
a problem, not
the problem.
Playing ScaredRodgers acknowledge he was scared on one play, of one quarter in one game. That is it. He did not say he was playing scared "multiple times". Rodgers later said "Turns out ‘J.J.’ ran ‘Peanut’ into 25 [he meant Coleman] and Randall’s wide open for the touchdown. So it’s disappointing." which explains what had him scared on the play. He made a mistake, that's it.
Accuracy and EfficiencyRodgers has been off on his 10+ yard passes nearly the entire season. You look at the games with high completion percentages and a large majority of completions didn't travel even 10 yards in the air. He's not leading his receiver to the ball for yards after catch and is rather trying to hit them on the spot. I'm going to give him an excuse here when I say he's probably not leading them because he can't trust them to run the right damn route!!

QBa is Aaron Rodgers, but the QBb's were Jay Cutler, Teddy Bridgewater and Matthew Stafford. These quarterbacks have no business outperforming Aaron Charles Rodgers.
Pocket PresenceRodgers is not showing his normal Cali Cool in the pocket. He looks like a hamster on crack with those happy feet and he's not setting his plant foot when he has room. Rodgers has often times thrown with horrible form and it wasn't an issue.
Bench RodgersThere have been a few, a very select few who are yearning for Scott Tolzien or even Brett Hundley.
Stop. Just stop it. Rodgers has had 15 dropped passes that if even half were caught, the Packers would be 9 - 2 instead of 7 - 4. The
only quarterback I would take over Rodgers for just this season would be Tom Brady.
The Packers need to stick with the run more and sit some of their wounded receivers and hopefully make a deep playoff run. If they continue how they are now, it'll be one and done and heads will be demanded to be rolling.
