Reply to "Rodgers not Elite?"

I'll say it again: Rodgers has to work the mid-range throws. Much of the time, he doesn't have the time to throw deep -- who really does in today's game where rushers are coming from all over? If you work the short game all the time, the D collapses and stuffs the box and everything halts. If Rodgers throws the intermediate passes from the numbers in, he has the time to go 15-20 yards downfield, he loosens up the linebackers who have to drop deeper, and he shortens up the DBs who now have to come back to help make stops, etc. All of that helps set up the short passing and long passing game.
