To me it looks like a guy who is protecting his stats. Holding the ball too long and not throwing into tight coverage seems to be someone more concerned about his touchdown to interception ratio than winning the game.

The stat is about separation distance from receiver to defense, so he can still throw deep to the guy that has separation, but those tend to be lower percentage throws. I would have to review his throws, but when he does throw deep he does have a tendency to throw the ball so that only the receiver has a shot at catching it (which is quite different from the Brett days).

Before any one gets it twisted, I love Aaron Rodgers, he's a fierce competitor and amazing arm talent. I just see him as his own worst enemy right now and someone needs to reel him in. He's playing too tight, and he's forcing others around him to play too tight. It's causing mental mistakes.

Could it have anything to do with the fact he hasn't really practiced since Week 1? Kinda hard to operate at full capacity when you only step on the field on Sundays...

To answer the original question, they need to give Aaron Jones the damn ball... There's no excuse for McCarthy's stubbornness on this issue. He's actively refusing to use a Kamara-like talent. Jones gives the offense an explosive element that is clearly lacking.
