He hasn't been giving his WRs a chance. Nobody is saying it's been "the norm" just pointing out that he's been playing badly and has been partly responsible for the lackluster offense lately. Nobody is saying he is a crappy QB now and we should move on or anything like that. It doesn't hurt anyone to point out that he's been playing scared and pointing out reasons why we don't buy the "nobody was ever open" excuse, it's just the truth.

He may have missed a few "open" players against the Broncos, but more often than not, almost no one was open even by NFL standards. The one miss to Eddie Lacy in the flat was not going ANYWHERE, anyway. Would have probably been a loss or no gain at best. Moreover, I'm just not sure what people expect. When a QB takes multiple big hits, their game is going to be impacted. I'd be willing to bet many of the same folks that are complaining about "not giving the WRs a chance" would be the same ones complaining if Rodgers "gave his players more chances" but threw 2-3+ interceptions. Especially if they resulted in a pick six and such. After all, the Packers defense was the number one scoring defense going into the game against the Broncos. It's not unreasonable plan to protect the ball and rely on the defense to make a stop.

The Packers were not beating the Broncos regardless if Aaron Rodgers gave his WRs more chances or not, and that's the bigger point. A few more plays MIGHT have been made, but the Broncos defense would have likely made even more plays which would have largely negated the few extra plays that might have happened by taking more chances.

Aaron Rodgers was trying to win the game, not protect his stats. If people really think Aaron Rodgers cares more about his stats than winning the game, then those same people should probably be lobbying for Brett Hundley or some other QB because that's not the type of player anyone should want leading their team. It was just a bad game overall on offense, defense, and coaching. If the Packers coaching staff wants Aaron Rodgers to take more chances, I'm sure they will make that happen throughout the rest of the season. If not, than it's very likely a coaching philosophy, not a decision by Aaron Rodgers to protect his stats.

Watching the last game, we saw AR throwing the ball with poor accuracy.
And the reason I think it's happening is that he's getting so much pressure, he's waiting to get hit instead of concentrating on where he's throwing.
Of course that's only my opinion. I don't know if I'm right or not.
He's been kept in the pocket, and not being allowed to scramble out, where he has made many big plays in the past.
