The Good, The Bad and the Ugly

where is rodgers suppose to get rid of the ball to?

if he's in the pocket he has to find a good place to throw the ball to (one where thees a guys close, but the d is not too close). he can't just throw the ball away, thats grounding, loss of down and a penalty (even worse then a sack)

a lot of people are saying rodgers just needs to throw the ball away instead of taking the sack, but he's in the pocket when the shits getting to him. he can't just "throw it away"

Toss it over a WR's head on the sidelines. It isn't grounding.

Correct. Dan Marino got sacked like once a game with NO running game his entire career because when protection broke down he knew where his sideline routes were...he would fire it 10 feet over their heads out of bounds with everything he had in that lightning release.

marino never had a line as bad as this one. Never. He would never survived if he had.

Agreed, was more defining how you dump it off without getting called for it.

I like Rodgers as well as the next guy....but it's a little early to mention him in the same breath as Marino!!!

I didn't, but you just did. Nowhere in my post did I mention of even think of Rodgers. I was discussing the proper way to dump the ball without getting called for grounding, and I cited the master of it.

YOU on the other hand had Marino and Rodgers on your mind at the same time obviously.

I don't know if he still scripts the first 10 plays or so, but the offense always looks better earlier than later.

This is an interesting point.
