He looks very un-clutch.

He may be injured.

He's not having a normal year for his standards, to be sure.

His knee is still fricked. Like that year Brees had that knee issue they never put on the report (but still looked better than Rodgers looks now).

And I don't think his shoulder is quite right yet either (or if it ever will be).

Both he and Brady were among the top 5 QBs with the highest percentage of off target throws this year. Not sure how Brady did today, but Rodgers had quite a few absolute shite throws (by his standards at least).

Edit:
That metric excluded throw aways. It's measured by uncatchable balls in play (not sure if it counts throws in the dirt on screens, ala the Brees special).

Brees was top 3 (not sure where exactly) with least percent of off target throws.

I think he’s more injured than he lets on. He looks fairly pedestrian by his standards. Not sure if it’s just nagging things like the knee from earlier in the year and coming back from the shoulder, or if it’s buildup over his career.

He’ll be 35 when they next take the field and some guys just break down quicker than others. I wouldn’t write him off yet, but he’s gonna need to do some therapy this offseason

The announcers mentioned Rodgers new contract as being a reason GB has 13 active rookies.

Basically saying, you pay Rodgers, you can’t retain anyone else - they had to make a choice - and that being a factor for their record.

He looks like he doesn’t actaully gameplan. For every evaded sack, spin, roll out 50 yard flick bomb. There’s about 3 drives that go nowhere because he can’t get 5 yards effectively. McCarthy doesn’t help but but the way Brady/Bellicheck, Drew/Peyton work together is extremely evident in game and with Rodgers it looks like their gameplan is basically backyard football.

Go look at early Rodgers when he was lighting things up, and how he's played since not having Jordy (and really a little before that).

He and that offense made a living off of timing throws where the receiver didn't turn until the ball was on them. It was a nightmare for defenders trying to guard the receivers.

On top of that, he was pretty fast for a QB so it was also a nightmare anytime he escaped the pocket as a threat to run or prolong the pass.

He really only kind of has that connection with Adams with those look last second passes, and with the injuries the last two years he is much less of a running threat.

McCarthy's system is getting exposed because they decided to move on from guys before Rodgers could build connections with new ones.

That's what happens when you hang out with Hollywood liberals and drink the blood of underage children.

Looking at the standings I noticed the Packers are 4-0-1 at home and 0-6 on the road. That’s an alarming stat.

It is evident that Rogers will not take a chance throwing an INT. He took like 5 sacks that should have been quick throws into coverage.

He's always had very low INT numbers because he'd rather take a sack or throw it away.

He's had two 50 sack years and is on pace for another. He is also on pace to have almost double the throw aways of any other QB this year (maybe even a record for throw aways in a year by a good bit).

He doesn't take the check downs that he should because he's constantly looking for the deep shots and trying to extend plays to find them.

So yes his numbers have always looked pretty, but they haven't been effective for a few years now.

Edit:
Just compare him to Brees. Brees has been slinging it into tight windows all year and still only has as many INTs as Rodgers (not counting that bs one where the receiver was tackled and not called).

Brees is literally threading it into two defenders, while Rodgers is not taking those types of chances and really never has save for rare occasion.

In previous years, taking the sack or throwing it away was the smart idea. Live to see another day because he could make a phenomenal play to make it up later.

This year though, he can't make it up. Feels like he needs to press a play here or there and risk the INT because the offense goes hella stagnant.
