Someone mentioned in the chat room last game that Rodgers' output took a steep nosedive following the concussion. It would be interesting to look at the numbers and see if this can be borne out. Is it possible he's throwing behind his receivers because he in fact is confused and genuinely doesn't know where they're supposed to go?

And since some of you postulated that Rodgers actually suffered his concussion on the qb sneak on the goal line against the Red Skins I looked at the play by play to get the break down of the Washington game as before and after:
Before qb sneak:
Att: 16
Comp: 13
Yards: 149
TD: 1
INT: 0
Rat: 126.30
After qb sneak:
Att: 30
Comp: 14
Yards: 144
TD: 0
INT: 1
Rat: 47.08
If that qb sneak was actually when he suffered the concussion, Rodgers numbers pan out as such:
Pre concussion:
Att: 138
Comp: 97
Yards: 1,089
TD: 9
INT: 5
Rat: 100.18
Post concussion:
Att: 131
Comp: 68
Yards: 922
TD: 3
INT: 4
Rat: 69.58
So I would say, yes his numbers have nose dived after the concussion and that the nose dive is even more dramatic if, in fact, he was concussed on that qb sneak. Then again, maybe after that drive the Redskins made defensive adjustments and since then teams have been copying what they did. This doesn't necessarily prove anything, but it's interesting nonetheless.
