Unless someone knows exactly what the play called for and what Rodgers saw/was thinking, it's pretty hard to know. (Patler, this is a refinement of your '3')
Similar to the reasons QBs sometimes get interceptions. A DB or LB ends up where he isn't expected to be, and the QB doesn't see him even though he is in plain view. In one of his interviews this past week, Rodgers was asked about his almost interception last week, he kind of chuckled and said, believe it or not, he flat out didn't see the linebacker, even though he threw it right to him.
