Love is sounding better as he gets reps in practice, I still think he is an XFL QB but I REALLY hope Im wrong.

Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship. -
Sounds like they were working on slants and seam routs today. Rodgers was not big on slants, so that may be a good change with Love. Being able to attack the seam will be a good change.2025 Ratpickers champion.Comment

We saw what happens when Love hits Watson in stride on a slant route vs. Philly. GB has some young fast WRs and slants are generally quick throws so it's not a bad idea.Originally posted by MadScientist View Post
Apparently Musgrave looks good running routes in shorts. shocker. Still, he should be at least as good as Tonyan was last year, with the benefit of 4 years of contract under GB's control.Comment

Rodgers threw less over the middle on average than most QBs. I expect that to change, which will likely be part of the reason we'll see more interceptions. Hopefully, it's countered by more sustained drives.Comment

A rare acorn of truth from you, sharpe. I hope posting it doesn't mean you're happy about it. Myself, I hope, although don't necessarily expect that Love soaked up enough of Rodgers way of playing that he doesn't play down to that expectation - throwing picks over the middle, etc.What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?Comment

Tex, you imply that I lie. Disagreeing with you is not lying. More name calling is not improving your arguments..
Every QB has to throw over the middle, so it's a matter of degree. Rodgers had better numbers when he did throw over the middle, but still favored the outside more than most QBs. This suggests he was choosing the less optimal option.Comment

More throws into the MOF, more pre-snap motion, 12 personnel where both are a receiving threat, running RPOs differently, less timeouts burned. Offense will be similar on surface but I think have a lot more wrinkles.
This will actually be a chance to find out how good of a coach MLF really is.Comment

I actually think the offense will look a lot different on the surface. Rodgers didn't like a lot of pre snap movement, instead relying on his experience to call audibles. I expect a lot more motion and different formations to disguise a more basic set of plays.Originally posted by run pMc View Post2025 Ratpickers champion.Comment

No, I don't think you lie so much as you are just bonehead stupid. As I said, you got it right in this rare case. It wasn't really clear, though, whether you were FOR or AGAINST throwing over the middle more and getting more interceptions.Originally posted by sharpe1027 View Post
Mad Scientist and whoever: it's too early to say for sure, but I think there will be a lot of the same things Rodgers did with Love, even the read and react change at the line stuff. Assuming he's smart, which it seems like they think he is, I'm pretty sure they will encourage that because it's smart football.What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?Comment

I'm for whatever gets the best results. There's no sane person that thinks you can completely ignore the middle of the field. They question is when and how you do soOriginally posted by texaspackerbacker View Post
Rodgers threw the ball in the middle of the field and had corresponding interceptions.He must agree with meComment

You're saying Rodgers "completely ignored" the middle of the field? Sheeesh. He was just smart about not throwing into traffic, and HOPEFULLY Love will have learned to have that smartness too. Then it somes down to accuracy. HOPEFULLY (but not probably) Love has accuracy close to Rodgers'.What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?Comment

No. I said he used the middle of the field. Reading comprehension failOriginally posted by texaspackerbacker View PostComment

JFC he used the MOF, just not as much as most QBs.
Ever use the internet to actually fact check, or are you too lazy to do anything except make false statements and then dig your heels on them after they're disproved?
Even if you don't like PFF or SIS, NFL Next Gen Stats is fairly easy and most of it is free, for crying out loud. Check this out:
You can look at the passing charts and see that he mostly threw outside the numbers. Even though he wasn't bad at throwing into MOF, he chose not to. Weird considering those are usually easier throws and where you're going to have mesh concepts, slants, crossers, etc.
You can pull up another QB and compare their charts. Most use the MOF more.
Interestingly, some people consider the DAL game their best game last year, and yet Rodgers only threw 20 passes.Comment

I can't run no more
With that lawless crowd
While the killers in high places
Say their prayers out loud
But they've summoned, they've summoned up
