Packers QB should be categorized as a good player scuffling to regain his elite form.

Pretty devastating analysis by McGinn.

Rodgers hasn’t been the same player since Game 7 last season when the Packers, a three-point favorite, went to Denver and were crushed, 29-10.



To me, it goes back way farther than that. Mike hasn't been running "high percentage" plays for a decade now, because Aaron wants to always go deep. Give in to him like that, and suddenly he thinks he is a superstar who knows better than you do.

Rodgers is extending plays more and more each year and, in the last 12 months, with less success. Rather than giving plays time to develop, too often he bolts prematurely. When he does extend, he isn’t as decisive. He’s not seeing the field as well. He’s missing more open targets.



Mike made "fundamentals" the focus of the offseason. Does this apply also to the superstar QB?

As far as planting his back foot from shotgun or a straight dropback, striding into the throw and taking a hit, it almost never happens. Just as Brett Favre fell into poor throwing mechanics later on during the Mike Sherman years, Rodgers is following suit.

You see a lot of all-arm throws, skipping into throws, firing off balance and across his body. He sails one pass, bounces another. At times, his feet don’t work in unison with his torso. His deep-ball accuracy, once extraordinary, has improved somewhat from a year ago when it was embarrassingly bad for a player of his stature.



If Aaron is not willing to get with the program, then he's not great. I say trade him before everyone realizes he's not, and won't be, great again. Get what you can. Cut your losses and go with the new guy. Let's see what we've got there.

Considering the source I thought it was actually a pretty good article. Rodgers is still a good qb but his decision making and deteriorating mechanics have rendered him no longer elite. It was pretty balanced in its criticism and gave plausible hope it can be fixed.

We hung onto Jarret Bush for eternity, even made him the week 1 starter!

I have -zero- faith in this administration's ability to self evaluate, and fix or move on from bad players.

I'll still take Rodgers. Even with his poor play he is still a top 15 QB and the best in the NFC North. He just needs a coach that won't coddle him which is what McCarthy does. I think it's time for some changes. If you think Rodgers is the problem imagine what this team would look like with Cutler at QB.

The offense probably would be better off if his teammates could focus on the play and getting off the ball in advantageous fashion without all this other stuff going on so often.

I have made this same observation a few times. A little less gimmickry and a little more getting the ball off in a timely fashion could do this offense good. Rodgers runs the clock down to 0:01 so often that they end up looking rushed at the snap. Sometimes I wonder if the receivers have any more idea when the ball is going to get snapped than the defense does.

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

Mike and Aaron are victims of their own success. They had one of the best groups of WR top to bottom and one of the best Olines for pass blocking. and almost anything they called worked because of that. As the depth at WR has "deteriorated" and the Oline been changed around plays that were working before no longer are and I lay most of the blame for the offense not responding on McCarthy's shoulders. He is the play caller.

I don't want to say he doesn't adjust but he doesn't seem to stick with the adjustments. For short periods they changed and it almost got them into the endzone. They were dumping the ball short and running slants before that bonehead qb sneak call that even I saw coming and so did Dallas. McCarthy needs to go back to West Coast Offense school and remember what made that offense. Quick passes as an extension of the run game used to setup deep routes.
The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

I am curious as to how you determine Aaron is a top 15 qb. Stats don't tell the whole story but they tell us something.

Based on qualified QBs Aaron is:
25th In passing yards, completion % and yards per game.
20th in qb rating
14th in interceptions
8th in tds. Part of this is because the team is 29th in rushing tds with 2.
Having the bye so early effects the numbers but Aaron doesn't look like a top 15 qb at this time.
