Definitely true in 2022. His arm was SO strong and accurate, he had the luxury of going pretty much anywhere he wanted with any ball. They say the toughest prisons from which to escape are those we design for ourselves. Rodgers got SO impatient with the young WRs (Watson, Doubs, Toure) that he just took way more sacks than he needed.
Seriously? What games were you watching?
I was sad to see Lazard as a healthy scratch for the Jets in a few late season games. I take my car for servicing at the dealership in Ames he worked at as a porter when he went to Iowa State. People were HIGHLY complimentary of Lazard as a person and a worker. No entitlement. Wanted to learn the business and do a good job.
I think that drop was the catalyst for his mid season surge. It’s also very possible it even energized that surge.
There were many instances where guys were open and Rodgers refused to throw to them and instead throw incomplete to double and even triple covered Adams. There were times he even opted to take sacks instead.
Now you are being obtuse.. Go back 10-15 months on this board and read the posts from multiple posters, citing articles and videos, of Rodgers forcing "take a shot" throws to double covered "his guys" instead of taking the wide open check down on 3 & 2.
Ok, I'm done with you. I resisted putting you on permanent ignore (on the advice of many who have already done so) on the off chance that you might be able to maintain some degree of civility, but you can't resist being a smug, insufferable pissant long enough to even try to have a conversation. On top of that, you constantly twist people's words and throw up straw men when you can't argue the facts. See ya.
Interesting I just witnessed it in a Chicago vs Packers game in the cold that I watched highlights. It was the one where Lacy was our RB and Cobb caught go ahead TD with under 2:00 left. Aaron threw a pass to Jordy (that was behind him btw) that Jordy dropped. I think it was JJ? that was literally 5 yards beyond the Safety throwing his arms up because it was an easy TD missed on blown coverage by the Bears (again).
See... THIS is your problem. NOBODY ever said this. But you take things people say, exaggerate them into something ridiculous and then argue with them based on your own exaggerations. And you expect to be taken seriously?
One thing is for certain. Rodgers WR group last season was far more experienced. I’d put that group pretty equal realm to our current production. Yet Aaron himself seemed to go through the motions. Love is so refreshing to this team after all the drama we had. I suppose we could say similar from Favre to Rodgers. Sometimes it just gets stale.
Rodgers also seemed to "check down" to a safety valve more than prior years, like to Dillon and Jones. It seems like Love is finding more downfield. In fact, one of Love's faults we saw this year was forcing balls downfield (many still caught!) when he had a clean checkdown (usually Dillon) available. Again, to your point, Rodgers might have been getting stale, risk averse, and just taking the clean look. Love's making it an adventure! (I'm sure I won't be calling it that if he starts misfiring. LOL.)
There ya go
And why I put that person on ignore .
So YOU'RE the guy - I heard about you sayin' that. You're the guy who called down the wrath of the thing!!
Yeah, I'm the guy that didn't believe, chiding the drunk lady next to me who did believe.
My wife is to blame
The more things change .... eh?
You tell her I said she's a ... silly
