"Frankly his performance in Seattle was shocking." woodbuck27
"Rodgers Pass Rating at Home: 133.2 ... Rodgers Pass Rating on Road: 94.2" pbmax
Aaron Rodgers QBR in the NFC championship game was about 55 or about 40 points below his seasonal average on the road.
That's a shockingly poor performance.
" Aaron Rodgers throws off of his uninjured right leg. As Aaron Rodgers admitted himself the left calf injury isn't a factor in the mechanics of his passing. " woodbuck27
"Is his left leg involved in the mechanics of moving in the pocket?" pbmax
yes.
" Did McCarthy fail to put him under center because the Team Doctor's were wrong about the affect his injury had on his movement? " pbmax
Mike McCarthy is conservative.
Troy Aikman remarked that maybe his best throw all day was moving to his right out of the pocket on a decent throw to James Starks just outside of the Seattle goal line right. Aaron Rodgers reacted to that throw as it was so close to a completion.

4th Qtr:2-7-SEA 30 (11:11) (Shotgun) 12-A.Rodgers pass incomplete deep right to 44-J.Starks.
" Did McCarthy practice him less because McCarthy is ignorant about throwing mechanics or because posters here are pretending that following through on a throw (landing on a left leg) is unimportant?" pbmax
Again MM is conservative (maybe over cautious?). Maybe? he babied Aaron Rodgers?
" Have you ever seen Rodgers move around a lot, then throw a good ball to an open receiver?" pbmax
Yes.
" Is this easier, harder or the same with a calf injury? " pbmax
If Aaron Rodgers makes even one or two more plays were likely getting set right now to play New England for the Lombardi trophy.
See my comment above and Aaron Rodgers rolling right to pass to James Starks and Troy Aikman's commentary regarding how Aaron Rodgers looked on that maneuver.
