Aaron Rodgers is the NFL's highest-rated QB in the red zone, and he has yet to throw an interception. The problem is Mike McCarthy keeps calling runs straight into the teeth of end-zone defenses instead of giving to his QB and letting him make a play.

I take back the end zone comment, but I don't like using the QB ratings. They don't necessarily correlate with getting the ball in the end zone. No interceptions is a big factor in the QB's rating, but only means that he hasn't cost his team an attempt to make a field goal, doesn't mean they scored a touchdown on the drive.
A better measure is % of touchdowns when in the redzone. Going into this week's game, Green Bay has scored 25 touchdowns on 41 opportunities, or 60.9%, ranking 6th in the NFL (behind IND, DAL, CAR, MIA, and TEN). So, Aaron's not been a slouch at getting it in the end zone from the red zone.
