No more excuses for Aaron.

A better throw happens when a defender isn't unblocked right up the middle

It was a 2 step drop with single coverage on Adams. The play was designed to take the blitz out of the equation, and it did. He didn't have a hand in his face or get hit as he was throwing. He is an elite NFL qb, he has to play better. That includes making some plays with defenders within 5 feet of him. I know the o-line is very culpable in all of this, but on the last play it was not the issue.

How close was the defender during his throwing motion?

[Pugger]

Yes, Rodgers could have made Adams' (or is it Adams's) job easier, but Adams isn't paid to catch only the easy ones. He was at much at fault as Rodgers.

If Rodgers has to be perfect for our receivers to perform well, this is way out of wack.

If Rodgers has to be perfect we need a new set of WRs.

This is the first thing you've said that actually rings true for me. He makes a metric fuck ton of money to be elite. It's not 100% on him but he is the leader so time to circle the wagons.

Let's hope team meetings are more productive than the internet. Someone needs to step up and stop sucking.

I think its even odds between Rodgers and Adams. Adams is just getting his camp/preseason shape back. Rodgers is hearing "LOOKOUT" when he is at a drive through.

One of them will figure it out.

4:1 - Rodgers
4:1 - Adams
5:1 - M3 (pistol and ZBS with Starks)
6:1 - Healed or Svelte Lacy plus M3 (pistol and power game)
15:1 - M3 dumps no huddle
15:1 - M3 installs Monty
1000:1 - M3 installs Quarless offense

I must say that in terms of leadership, Rodgers is really not getting it done. His petulant body language, his languishing on the sideline and not pumping up his teammates, is getting really old. I'd like to see him go up to a guy who dropped a ball and smile and put his arm around the guy, let him know that everyone makes mistakes, instead of gesturing angrily or looking into the sky as if Thor and only Thor could understand the poor bastard's having to put up with these mere mortals.

I'd like to see how things would go if a receiver would gesture angrily at Rodgers after he misses an easy touchdown throw.

[mraynrand]

Yeah, the non verbal communication is pretty obvious. Can only hope some of it was actually self directed for some of the shit he was slinging.

[yetisnowman]

How close was the defender during his throwing motion?

I'd estimate 3-4 feet and closing in. His throw was not physically impeded, his line of sight was clear. He was hit after he threw....welcome to the NFL.

+1000. These obvious signs of poor leadership certainly don't strengthen his case as being an all time great.

Funny, before I read your comment, I saw the animated gif and thought you might be making a comment about the conversation going around in circles. Will it go round in circles?

Signs of displeasure means someone is not an all-time great: Brett Favre, Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Dan Marino and Jim Kelly

Other side of coin: Joe Montana and Ken Anderson

Hardly seems dispositive.

Well, maybe its just me but if I were in the locker room, I would tend to believe the League MVP rather than a second year wideout. So if the second year wideout threw a fit, he's going to get taken down a peg long before the QB does. The WR's don't have enough pelts on the wall.

The coaches might have to back him off his high horse if that indeed is a problem, but McCarthy has had to do that before.

Sports radio today, top reason for Aaron Rodgers disappointing performance:
1. Olivia Munn
2. Olivia Munn is crazy (apparently an actual rumor somewhere)
3. Olivia Munn pre-marital sex
4. No security blanket
5. No team is playing Cover 2 (actually this is my favorite because its wrong in both directions-Packers haven't done well against it and teams are playing it as they do not fear the running game)

On field demonstrations of frustrations would be #6 for me.

[mraynrand]

My sympathy level for Rodgers is cratering.
