https://www.profootballfocus.com/news/pro-aaron-rodgers-set-to-shatter-throwaway-record

The most throwaways by a quarterback that we have recorded at PFF in a single season since we began charting back in 2006 came two years ago when Philip Rivers notched 46. Rivers has been the king of the throwaway since entering the league; in the past 12 years, he has led the NFL in throwaways six times and finished inside the top five in the league another four seasons.

This season, one quarterback appears to be in a position to not only surpass Rivers’ mark of 46 throwaways in 2016, but he is on pace to absolutely shatter it. That quarterback is Aaron Rodgers.

Rodgers has amassed 32 throwaways through his first seven games. At that pace, he is set to throw the ball away 73 times in a 16-game season. To put that in perspective, Ben Roethlisberger has thrown the ball away 73 times in the regular season since the start of 2012.

The amount of balls that Rodgers has thrown away has undoubtedly been on an upward slope in recent seasons. After averaging roughly 19 per season from 2008 to 2014, his count the last three years has been 32, 31, and 16 in seven games last season (on pace for 37 in a 16-game season). That is nothing compared to this pace this year, however, as he already has 14 more throwaways than the next closest quarterback.

Pretty good article (and they try to explain why in the part I didn't post).

Basically the thought is to avoid sacks (before proving that theory partly wrong), then because of his knee injury... and to avoid turnovers... making Rodgers sound like the least willing to take risk QBs there is... though mentioning they rank Rodgers as 4th highest QB graded by their numbers this year.

Also they didn't dive into my theory of having an to work with a lot of new people... Graham and the rookies is new... Nelson is gone, Cobb and Allison have been banged up a lot and missing time... and the new guys seem to be learning what to do after the play breaks down and especially seem to be having troubles in the red zone. Which I think has to be a small factor at minimum.

It's what people have been screaming at him to do for years instead of taking sacks but people will still find a way to complain.

Yeah, it seems like Rodgers won't do that unless he see someone really open (and check downs don't count to him). Though it would be awesome if we could start using Aaron Jones like the Patriots use James White... get him on a one on one in space and check it down to him... if he can break a single tackler, pick-up a 1st down.

I’m not sure how much ability to check down to a running back there is in the packer passing attack. From what I’ve seen, on the majority of plays, the backs assist with blocking including blitz pick up.

If you want to see more dump offs to the offensive backs, you need more solid offensive line protection, especially from the guards.
