For Rodgers, a different quarterback with a different skill group at a different stage in his career, the ideal balance between staying within the offense’s framework and extending plays has flipped. When the Packers extended plays in 2011, Rodgers’ passer rating increased 17.69 points. This season, it’s decreased 25.73.

Yet the Packers are extending plays more frequently than even during his best season.

This quote is from one of the best articles about the Packers that I have read in a long time:

Sorry, it is behind a subscription wall. Ryan Wood timed every Rodgers pass attempt in 2019 and 2011, catalogued them in half-second intervals, then grouped them as:

2 seconds or less (quick passes)
2.01 to 4.0 seconds (multiple progressions)
Over 4.0 seconds (extended plays)

He included an interactive graph to look at the primary passing statistical categories, comparing the two seasons statistics in each group, and each group as part of the overall passing game.

I don't agree with every conclusion he made, but the effort put into the data collection and presentation is impressive.
