If Aaron Rodgers improves his passing accuracy, I won't assume the negative and surely won't lose respect for him as a person. There were times his accuracy was dead on. Once he gets into a good flow, he's throwing really good passes. He's just not getting into a good flow. That could be on him, or on the called plays.
Let's try to give benefit of doubt.

Vick was an odd QB in the respect, there were times when he could accuracy toss it 40 yards down the field, but couldn't accurately throw it 5-10 yards... which I noticed at one point, Rodgers seemed to struggle more with the shorter throws than the longer ones.
Vick later came out (and said what I thought) it was because he wasn't practicing (or giving a shit) about his footwork... he cared about the long passes, and would practice and pay attention to those...
I've wondered how much practicing and paying attention, Rodgers was doing with the short easy throws... I mean in theory they're the easy ones and need the less practicing ... but if you ignore them or get to a point that you're not used to doing them often (like fans have complained about Rodgers ignoring the check downs), then maybe you get rusty?
