The “Aaron Rodgers underthrowing a deep ball” is really becoming a problem. The secondary dropping game-changing interception is becoming a problem. 

This team has aspirations of championship glory, and the plays are there to be made, and they’re not making them. Rodgers apologists never want to talk about this, but he’s making the money he makes for a reason. He’s not supposed to be pretty good. He has to hit the target 99.9% of the time. 

Really?! Can you help me out with the name of a QB that's done this, ever? The record for completion percentage in a season is held by Drew Brees of the New Orleans Saints who completed 74.4% of his passes in 2018.

Understand the context- a play caller sets a series of plays in motion, setting up a single high safety and a one on one matchup for a WR. You spend several play calls setting this up- waiting for the time to strike- and you get it. The WR has 2 steps on the nearest defender. It’s everything you were trying to accomplish... and the QBs underthrows the ball and allows a beaten defender back into the play causing an incomplete pass. From the guy who cannot miss that throw. 

That’s the context. You can talk about irrelevant completion % and completely miss the point- which is simple... Aaron Rodgers cannot miss that throw. It is often the difference between winning and losing when the games matter the most. You pay that guy $100M+ to ensure that throw gets completed.
