179 pressures but only 16 sacks. He's been hit 8 times while throwing

Sack % rate when pressured of 8% (Aaron Rodgers is at 19.4%)

While the interceptions are crushing, we wouldn't have a top 20 offense if he was getting sacked

Yep. The Oline is a big problem. The pressures are certainly leading to the interceptions.

Definitely need to address pass protection in the offseason.

Wins and losses are more important than offensive ranking. Rodgers gets sacked a lot but whose team is in a better position?

When Marc Trestman and his staff get fired, we need to bring Kromer back.

What is he in attempts? I'd argue we're throwing far too much at times as well which exacerbates the problem.

Where's hoodoo with the PFF numbers? I'm ready to scorn the oline some more.

This thread needs to be stickied. People keep blaming Brees for the ints (I did at one point without realizing something.) While he is at fault, it isn't just him. The damn interior line is straight garbage. If it was like in 09 we would be winning a lot more games due to less turnovers.

so Rodgers would rather take a sack than throw an interception?

it would probably be better



how many interceptions were thrown when brees was pressured?

Is there a link for the source of these stats?

Certainly has forced the issue on some throws, but that pick six he definitely was under some pressure. He hasn't been able to smoothly step up in the pocket like he has in the past.

He was really on point last game outside of that terrible throw on the pick six.
