One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

I think Rodgers is seeing ghosts out there. He can still get away from the rush like no one else, but that dude had all year to throw against the Cowboys...and nothing. Talk all you want about the receivers not getting open, but not too long ago we were all crowing about how Rodgers could throw a ball that was in the narrowest of windows - only his receiver could get it! He could fit it into a space the size of a basketball!
He looks afraid to do that now. He's lost confidence - it's getting to be a 'thing' now. That's why it worked well in the first half against Detroit - he was throwing on rhythm, so he didn't have time to think. Now he's starting to aim the ball and now he's afraid to try to fit it in.
It's all going to hell, and it's all in his head.

I was at that shit show of a game and can attest there were several plays where receivers were open by a good margin and Rodgers never realized it. Doesn't appear he's scanning field consistently, going through progressions. Not sure what the problem is but he doesn't resemble the QB we were accustomed to, that's for damn sure.Originally Posted by Fritz
Hopefully he'll transition this year and this coming offseason into the older, quick trigger QB that has allowed Brady and Peyton so much success.

Everyone has their opinion on Rodgers, I read an article on ESPN that was saying it all revolved around technique and fundamentals. Most of their Insider stuff is GARBAGE, but this was actually insightful.

Yoko ono.
Yeah, Garbage.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
I still think Rodgers did not look that good last night. Not like the Rodgers we've watched for a long time. He's still not fitting the ball into tight spaces; furthermore, he's missing open guys - often while throwing, unnecessarily, off his back foot.

I thought last night was a vast improvement in terms of accuracy vs earlier in the year. He had a couple tight window throws to Adams, two TDs that Cobb dropped that were both pinpoint.
Yes, he still has a ways to go, but the quick passes seemed to help focus his throwing.
