I read that article and thought it was cr*p. Author had an agenda and picked his stats to spin the narrative he wanted.

"But avoiding interceptions isn’t quite so impressive when you’re doing it by throwing the ball away every time someone isn’t open. And that’s exactly what Rodgers is doing"

Apparently, the author is advocating for Rodgers to throw the ball to guys who aren't open.

He cites Rodgers' completion percentage this year being 61% vs 64% career. That's 3 fewer completions out of 100 attempts. Which isn't surprising given the loss of the receiver (Jordy Nelson) who he was intimately familiar with and having two rookie receivers who are still learning.
