Rodgers most impressive qualities?

[RashanGary]

I'd say his poise for a young QB is his most impressive quality. He never looks rattled. He's had very few delay of game penalties. He's poised when flushed out of the pocket. He hasn't thrown a lot of interceptions while throwing a lot of TD's. He hasn't fumbled often. No real botched hand offs. Just very few mental errors, especially for being so young. He knows how to play QB. He's comfortable doing it.

His arm has been impressive

His ability to scramble has been impressive as well as his decision of when to do so.

His accuracy has been impressive, especially on the deep ball (I'm going to write to the newspapers and request something on his deep ball stats. I think they're better than they've been in a long time here in GB. Probably since Dickey/Lofton).

I think he'll do great next year. No distractions. The draft and FA will bring in new talent. Rodgers will do just fine. He is the future.

If the line issues can get resolved, he should take a huge stride forward.

Some of the hits he took this year were just God-awful.

Those are actually not bad.

Aaron Rodgers = 17 of 53 with 5 TDs and 6 ints over 20 yards

Brett Favre = 11 of 44 with 4 TDs and 7 ints over 20 yards

Peyton Manning = 21 of 67 with 5 TDs and 5 ints over 20 yards

Eli Manning = 14 of 55 with 4 TDs and 3 ints over 20 yards

Jay Cutler = 19 of 62 with 5 TDs and 5 ints over 20 yards

Better than Favre and pretty similar to other top QBs on throws over 20 yards.

Rodgers throws a nice deep ball.

I wonder how the stats would look if you took out the end of game heaves (he's thrown at least 3 or 4 picks like that).

Was thinking the same thing. It seems most of the INT's are forced at the end of the game so it might be even better. His deep ball is pretty. He definitely stretches the defense. He throws a lot down the field and is right on par with the best QB's.

[RashanGary]

Oh, and he's only getting better!! He started his first NFL game a couple months back.

Most impressive - deep ball, maturity, relatively smart play

There's not much bad I can say about him overall other than he needs to diagnose things quicker, which should come with time. I really think he could light up the league next year.

Your point?

Really nice when the mods here are even calling posters out.

[oregonpackfan]

Someone brought up his maturity level. He handled the whole Brett Favre retirement/unretirement/trade issue with great poise for a 24 year old. Few 24 year old QB's could have handled the media and fan pressure as much as he has done.

You're becoming the anti-homer and its pissing me off. Was the "better than Favre" really necessary? I'd hope a kid in his physical prime is better than the guy who has appeared washed up throughout the season.

WTF is the point of this Zool? I hardly even come around this place anymore. Idiotic comments like this and drama is exactly why.

I think Rodgers reminds me of Eli Manning. Remember when he first took over the QB for the Giants. What was the negatives the writers pen about him? Now watch him he has developed into one of the top 5 QB's.
