We didn't see it as much this game, so perhaps it's a moot point now, but as someone who has lived with a gimpy ankle for most of my adult life, I found dhazer's suggestion intriguing. It's been almost a decade and a half since I hurt my ankle, yet there are still times—unpredictable, but debilitating—when my ankle flares up. A couple months ago I was trying to play baseball with my sons, and I just couldn't plant my foot. Every time I went to catch or pitch or swing the bat, a stabbing pain went up my leg and I had to grit my teeth to keep from howling. If Rodgers is experiencing an issue like this, it would be totally understandable if he's finding it difficult to plant his foot.

Personally, although I wouldn't rule it out entirely, I don't think that's the main issue here. It strikes me as mostly a psychological issue: Maybe Rodgers has gotten scared of getting hit; maybe he's finally developed the case of yips I'd been dreading through all those seasons where he got plastered play after play; maybe he's just trying to do too much with too little. Maybe it's all of the above. Whatever it is, I'd be truly surprised if it doesn't get fixed sooner or later.
