Yes Adams was his primary receiver from the snap and why not in that situation, but given how fast those 2 guys were in on Rodgers, he had no choice but to basically throw the ball away.  If he is afforded 2 -3 more seconds to look around, he probably finds Tonyan, game over.Go watch the play and you tell me how Rodgers gets the ball to Tonyan.</blockquote>
