you don't think he was inaccurate tonight?Comment

he was a little high on 3 or 4 throws. But generally he was was on target. In a full game, he would settle down. I thought he looked very good overall.Originally posted by Pacopete4
Madtown "Jaws" Packer was able to identify some technical problems with Rodger's mechanics, something about his release point. I don't have the QB expertise to comment.
Rodgers had the weight of the world of his shoulders, and he came through with shining colors.
Let the good times roll!Comment

He missed Jones on the deep ball--although it looked Jones needed to unhitch the wagon (plus, he misplayed the ball). He threw high to Martin--which was fine because it could be a pick six if he throws it on the inside. He threw a high but catchable ball to Jones. Otherwise, he threw well and threw accurate. And he had to make every throw in the book. Most QBs aren't going to throw 15 balls right between the numbers. Two of his best throws were dropped. (Driver on the 3rd and long. Francies on the pick.) All that with the weight of the world on his shoulders. I do worry that he holds onto the ball. That will get him hit. As far as throwing the ball, he looks like he's going to be damn good.Originally posted by Pacopete4"There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great.

It seems as though thats been a big thing since he's been drafted by us.. Where he holds the ball and where his release point is and how much wasted movement he has... I dunno, just things I've heard, I haven't seen him throw enough to actually look at itComment

Rodgers completed nine of 15 passes for 117 yards, one touchdown and one interception for a passer rating of 79.0. Of his six incompletions, two were dropped, two were thrown away under pressure, one probably should have been caught and another was overthrown."There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great.

ya, I thought Rodger's throw there was fine. It was friggin 40 yards or so, you expect the receiver to adjust.Originally posted by HarveyWallbangersComment

This was with a Hall of Famer at QB.
Exhibition openers generally have been exercises in offensive futility for Green Bay this decade. From 2001-'07, the Packers scored 45 points in their debuts, an average of 6.4 points, with a 2-5 record."There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great.

I thought Rodgers looked good. He took some hits but generally got the ball off quick. I would figure his pocket presense will grow as he gets more experience, but remember Farve took some shots like that too on blown blitz pick-ups.
He did throw into some tight spots. Farve made a living doing that, I hope Rodgers doesn't think he has to do that but given they were completions not sure one can be critical of him in that regard as long as he plays within himself.
What I want to see is continued improvement from this game to the next. Hopefully some of the dinged up starters (Jennings/Grant/etc.) will be back.sigpicComment

Agreed. One preseason game doe s not a career make, but it was a good start.Originally posted by Brohm"There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great. But quite frankly, most of the people that are commenting on it don't know anything about what they are talking about."--Ted ThompsonComment

Harv.. I watched the entire game.. don't need JSonline to feed me a line of dog poo...
He threw well, yes.. but not superb like a lot of you are going to say...
-He almost killed Jones on his TD pass...
-He missed badly to Martin on a 3rd down that coulda kept the drive alive
-He under threw Martin, but a great adjustment to the ball by him
-He didn't put enough air under the ball for Jones on a corner route for him to make an adjustment on a ball that needs to be completed... the guy was WIDE OPEN.. coulda been a huge play
-He held the ball way too much
-The pass to Francies was in a tight spot which was nice to see him have some guts to put a ball in there but the WR was hit basically at the same time as the guy tryin to catch it, those things happen
Overall Rodgers was very good at the roll outs and short passes of 10-12 yds and below but has a lot to improve on..
and I just wanna make it known that I think Rodgers did play well to a point.. but I'm not drinking the koolaid a lot of others seem to be or want to be drinking yet..Comment

Not an exceptional pass, but catchable.Originally posted by Pacopete4
I'd agree--although you have to keep from throwing it inside there.Originally posted by Pacopete4
That was a good ball. See Favre to Jennings against Seattle in the playoffs.Originally posted by Pacopete4
Jones looked inept there. Stumbling, bumpling.Originally posted by Pacopete4
Agreed.Originally posted by Pacopete4
If that was Favre, people would be talking about what an awesome throw that was. The frigign' ball hit him between the "8" and "3". Any of our top 4 WRs catches that ball.Originally posted by Pacopete4"There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great.

Uhm... our first two backs averaged 6 yrds a carry between them. That "stinks" to you?Originally posted by Pacopete4Comment

He missed one easy chance at a big play when he barely overthrew a wide-open Jones on a post-corner route that probably would have gone for a 55-yard touchdown, but his completion percentage also suffered from two clear drops — one a third down by Donald Driver, and the other by Francies on the interception.
“James told me he should have caught (the long pass), and I told him I should have just taken a little off it,” Rodgers said. “That’s a ball that you’d love to have back and take a little off it. Not realizing he’d be that wide open — James ran a great route and we adjusted the route and unfortunately couldn’t come up with it, because it probably would have been a walk-in touchdown.”"There's a lot of interest in the draft.

horrible pass...Originally posted by HarveyWallbangers
Agree you keep that ball to the outside but its suppose to be outside and low, away from the defender.. not in in the 3rd row of bleachersI'd agree--although you have to keep from throwing it inside there.Originally posted by Pacopete4
I think they are 2 different throws myself.. I know, throw in backside shoulder.. but it really looked like he just under threw him to meThat was a good ball. See Favre to Jennings against Seattle in the playoffs.Originally posted by Pacopete4
Man.. thats a tough one to put on Jones... he threw a liner that didn't allow him to run underneath it at an angle but instead cut short his route towards the sidelines.. not many make that catch I don't think... bad throw in my bookJones looked inept there. Stumbling, bumpling.Originally posted by Pacopete4
If this don't get fixed... he really may not be standing after week 5Agreed.Originally posted by Pacopete4

I said the same thing to my buddy after she bitched about the INT.. and I agree with you but this isn't about comparing him to Favre... he threw it in coverage and those things happen on those slant passes.. they happened with Favre and they'll happen with RodgersComment
