Rodgers is coming back

Looks like the number 18 on his shoulder. ???

 

Well.....he is a Pro Bowl quarterback.

 

Let's put it this way; if I'm a DC I am blitzing AR at least half the time. At some point you hit home, but at the least he is dumping the ball within 5 yards of the LOS. The only advantage AR can give you is changing plays based on looks.

 

What was his numbers against the blitz last year?

I don't think blitzing Rodgers is a good strategy since his release time is under 2.50 seconds almost every time,pressure or not

 

My point is keeping the throws within 5 yards of the line is advantage defense unless the offense has YAC creators. Maybe this is true this year.

 

Or he hits home runs on the guys you are leaving open half the time when blitzing

 

Just a comparison. Do you want to be like Brady???

Aaron Rodgers recorded an average time to throw of roughly 2.56 seconds during the 2025 NFL season. This ultra-quick release ranked as the fastest among all qualified starting quarterbacks in the league, helping him limit hits and post his lowest sack totals in years.

Tom Brady's average release time during his NFL career was incredibly fast, typically clocking in between 2.35 and 2.50 seconds from the snap. In certain highly efficient games, such as his 2022 playoff run, he recorded an astonishingly quick release time of just 2.17 seconds.

 

Both can be true, and often is in this case

 

I think it will be even worse this season since he has announced that he is retiring after the season. If anyone gets with arm length of him he is going to throw the ball in the dirt. Rodgers doesn't want to enter his retirement years crippled up.
