Pay attention to Aaron Rodgers and his footwork and the shoulder windup. Then watch highlights from the last year or two of Aaron Rodgers.

His footwork is pretty much the same. The throws are definitely different. I would credit that to confidence. He knows where he wants to go earlier so he can get behind the throw better. Now he seems to be reacting more than anticipating and thus he is having to rush throws which leaves less power in the throws. Which also accounts for the amount of balls being thrown behind guys.
The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

True, he's not taking 5-7 step drops back then and releasing back then, nor is he now. Probably never will on a consistent basis. Before he was putting his body lean into the pass and now it seems more hiccup-like instead of smooth motion. You could see his trailing leg in the air at times where he seems to have both feet planted firmly which is restrictive. You gotta have that body torque to make the throw more rhythmic. I've been watching clip after clip and not sure if I'm explaining what I'm seeing right, but that's the best I got, lol.

A few tweaks can be expected considering he's had some shoulder injuries, broken collarbone and that wicked ankle deal that messed up his calve muscle. You're probably right, it's probably just more confidence than anything. It just looks really different.

I don't see a huge difference. He still makes some of those throws now, not as often, but one could still make a highlight reel out of them. He's just not executing as well and isn't nearly as decisive. Fun to watch the way he used to play though. Amazing how quickly he lost it. The Super Bowl highlights are a striking difference. But that's not surprising, considering that was a Super Bowl MVP performance. Of course that would be different from how he has been playing lately.

Just throw it, Aaron. Don't hold back and you know what, if the receivers dont catch balls dont try to fix it by changing your play. The more you just let it go the more confident you will get. I'd rather have a confident accurate aaron versus much else. And in some very strange way, I want to start seeing that over seeing wins. I mean that.

Matt Bowen, former NFL safety and current ESPN analyst: "Technique flaws from his footwork to his core to his balance to his shoulders to his release point. One thing about Aaron Rodgers is, you don't want to take away the magic. He can make throws from, the scouting term is multiple platforms. What I'm seeing on the film, for example, the pass that he missed to Richard Rodgers [against the Cowboys], which was going to be a big play, number one, he looks impatient in the pocket, and this is a very clean pocket. Two, when he throws the ball, his shoulders are open to the target, so he's almost parallel. His feet are in cement. He's not following through, and it's all arm. And because of that, the ball is thrown behind the intended target."

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Hey they mentioned that we 3-peted
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : seems to me the 49ers should have traded Aiyuk when they had the chance
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : if the Eagles get it down to the 1, do they Tush Push or give it to Barkley?

beast (10-Feb) : Then Carter was street racing, where the other car crashed and people died... and other teams were scared to pick Carter for some reason
beast (10-Feb) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick
packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : wtf Barkley?
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : oh fuck me i messed that up
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Carter was 9th overall
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : And we could only wish to have this type of D
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D
packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : another crap halftime show
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half
