I've had the opportunity to look at 4 or 5 games of all 22(coaches film) and I've seen the same things that Ben Fennell has seen.
There are definitely open receivers. Rodgers is sometimes antsy in the pocket, bailing quickly even when protection is holding up.
But, if you look at the film and try to see the routes that Rodgers' prefers. They are not usually open. A WR might break open over the middle,
but the sideline route and the RB in the flat are not open. Some of the time, that's when he throws the post to a doubled WR, probably in hopes of getting a flag.
At this point in his career, Rodgers is not going to change where he looks to throw. He will not give up an interception in a contested game. The best chance for
this offense to show marked improvement is to get another "sudden" WR. One that quickly gets open so that Rodgers can hit his preferred throws.
That means waiting until next year.
