Aaron Rodgers future

He is still younger then @jeh1856 Ask jeh what cold does to his bones as a mature adult male

 

Hopefully Herbert loads her up with yogurt

 

I just hope Washington learns to keep his head on a swivel.

That goalline bullet to an open Washington, where he hasn't even turned his head yet pissed me off and you could see Rodgers having to stay stoic (he was miffed at missed easy TD).

Rodgers clearly still has that arm talent. Need our TEs and WRs to get their head out of their hineys and be ready as soon as they make their first route break (turn your head with your body, not half second after..dummies).

 

To be fair, that needed to be thrown to Metcalf and not Washington. Darnell is a quality enough receiver, but you are asking a lot of him to be a high end receiving TE that you can split out wide and run slants with. It would be great if he could figure it out, but at the same time Metcalf had leverage too and the ball needed to be forced into the #1 WR and have him make the play. If that was Muth it was a catch.... No shade to Darnell, because I think he should be the #1 TE on this team the way it is constructed now... but we need to understand his limitations too.

 

Let's see if we can double that.

 

Who do you think has the higher drop %? Metcalf or Washington?

 

I would say without looking at stats DK has the higher drop rate, but I could be wrong.

 

Right?
We all know the reality is it should have been GP it was thrown to

BUT NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I thought so, but I was just going by trying to remember the drops by each. I actually believe Washington has pretty nice hands, and I believe the more he gets used to those types of plays ,the better he will get. I'd like to see that play done again.

 

At this moment it is Washington... he's dropped 10% and Metcalf 8.6%. However, that is mostly due to number of targets since Metcalf has been credited with 4 drops and Washington 2. Either way, a 300 lb TE running a slant isn't the recipe for success there. It needs to go to the WR, who had leverage and the opportunity. We pay him 30 million bucks a year to make that play. We pay Washington to block and chip in as a receiver when he can...

 

Yeah, I understand the personnel decision, since you threaten a fade to Washington if you match him against a corner, but you take a key player to stop the run out wide if its a S or LB. I understand the concept, but it was a lot to ask of Washington. I can't imagine he's seen many slants in his life (if any). We had DK in the slot trying to get a mismatch, and he had the wide field to operate, so they cant just force inside leverage there.... It was a perfect play to go to 4 (and likely for a TD, at worst a first down). I get that Metcalf will have some drops, but you live with it. He's been good enough outside of that to get the call there. Especially on 4th down. Go to the #1. Go let him earn that 30 mill.

 

all these complaints about old man Rodgers ---Now I am hoping he signs with us for at least 1 more year ..

 

Sure, I get that, but it was a pitch and catch touchdown. If you're running a route you get your head turned as soon as your breaking. Being 6'7" doesn't mean he has a turret of a head that take 10 seconds to turn 90 degrees, does it? Just being humorous, but everyone router runner wants to score a TD, if he won't turn his head, get him out of there.

 

Mature? @jeh1856 ?

By the way I'm down here in Orlando with a nice fire, heated blanket with coffee flavored coffee.

 

I'm lost on why Rodgers has one bad game, and y'all act like he's the reason for the entire garbage we've been having the last 5 games.

Only coaches worth it...... none

Only players worth it....
- herbig
- boz
- Washington
- Warren
- water boy
- Ramsey at corner

 

I'm not your guy to go digging up comments. Specially with going thru merged threads now.

 

Having average to above average protection would really help Rodgers too. Particularly if we want him to come back next year IMO

 

Agree. It goes deeper: this team can't keep applying veteran band-aids at QB and needs to keep drafting QBs until they find a franchise QB.

Rodgers will be washed by season's end. Our head coach and play-calling will never be good enough to compensate for the QB's deficiency, like Shanahan does with the 49ers.

We need a younger QB with young legs, be it Howard or someone in the draft.
