He's been doing this all year though. I'm not saying the O-Line is not to blame but Rodgers just holds the ball too long. He doesn't feel pressure, even when gets break loose right off the bat he needs to feel that and deliver it. When guys are rushing wide there is NOTHING our tackles can do to defend that but force them outside and then Rodgers needs to step up and throw. Not step up and stand there for another 2-3 seconds.
You watch a QB like Manning, Favre, Rivers ect. There will be plenty of times when blocks are blown and they still deliver a quick check down. If you watch Rodgers, he has no intentions of getting the ball and throwing it on 1-2 seconds. The majority of his pass plays today came on 3-4 even 5 seconds and that's WAY too long.
Back in 07 we set up in shotgun and Favre would get the ball and deliver it a lot of times right on the spot. He wasn't set up in shotgun and looking way down the field all day. UNLESS he got ample protection on a certain play or 2 per drive. A lot of the big plays that year came on play action deep balls or a 2 step drop and slant, curl.... Notice our yards after the catch have declined, I believe Rodgers is a reason for that. Honestly I think that's the only difference between the offensives with and without Favre.
Now I am by NO MEANS a Rodgers basher. He's a talented kid and I think he'll get this straightened out. But he's just not playing Packer football. Last year it was a problem at times, but nothing like this. If you remember the game we played against the Colts last year. THAT was Packer football But I have not seen packer football at all this year. Only in short spirts, maybe a half a drive. I just don't understand what he's thinking sometimes and I think players in the locker room and now McCarthy are realizing where most of the blame for these sacks need to go.
