Rodgers: Accuracy When on the Move

barristerMember

I am amazed, on almost a weekly basis, of how accurate Rodgers is when he is on the run. I don't think it is an overstatement to say that he is THE best I have ever seen in this category. He started to take this portion of his game to the next level last year, and it was definitely on display during the playoff game in Atlanta. Since then, he has made at least a couple of similar throws every game that just make me say "WOW!"

We certainly have a special player in #12. As I commented in another thread, he is a combination Montana's coolness/poise, Young's mobility, and Marino's arm. This guy is unreal.

ChilliJonI hate the Vikings!

He's the only QB in the NFL that's completed more than 70% of his passes (72.8%,unreal stat). He also leads the NFL with a QB rating of 120.2.

After watching the first three games I have this nagging sense he really hasn't played his best football so far this year...

Scary.

Conversely, just watch the SF Niners and Alex Smith try to throw on the run. He's either way high or throwing a worm-burner at Vernon Davis' feet.

Rodgers is uncanny & I believe he picked up the throw on the run accuracy from watching Favre (minus the throw back across your body to the middle of the field).

So glad he is on our team. We have our "Steve Young" following "Joe Montana."

Now let's keep him healthy for another decade!

I think Montana is following Young.

This is what separates the good from the great, IMHO. For example, McNabb is a good quarterback.

Very very cerebral QB.

Rodgers may not have the

flashiness

of Favre in terms of the fluke passes that should have never worked but did, but that's ok. Because he will also not make the stupid errors or boneheaded plays Favre did eithe that left you going WTF!

If health is on his side, sky's the limit for this kid.

TT was rather lucky he fell into his lap.

When Brent would run around back there and rear back to uncork one, my instinctive thought over the years became, "Oh, s**t!" When AR does the same thing, I think that someone must be open and a big play could be in the offing.

This would only apply if the former was better than the latter...

As I watched the first 3 quarters of yesterday's game, the thought occurred to me after Rodgers last TD to Finley...... Do people have any idea just how great this guy really is?

Just absolutely sliced up and demoralized one of the better defenses in the NFL. Now right after I thought that... a couple series later, he threw a pick to Urlacher. But 1 pick every 3 games ain't too bad you know??

Such an awesome feeling to go from one great QB immediately to another. We see teams like Denver, Miami, Dallas continue to try and find their next star QB.

How would you like to be the QB that has to follow Favre AND Rodgers? I'll be enjoying this as long as I can and appreciating every moment!

I was going to be a smartypants and add ...Chicago to the list until I realized I couldn't name their last great QB (Luckman).

He's deadly on the move. He doesn't throw it, the ball is shot out of a howitzer.

There were at least two instances yesterday against the Bears where we kicked a field goal. I watched Aaron looking for somebody, and each time he checked down to Starks for a short gain.

You know who would have forced something. I love his intelligence, and his ability to go through his progressions at lighting speed, keeping conscious of where he is in regards to the pocket, and where the defensive players are near him. He's like a damned computer, processing so much so fast.

No kidding. With Bert you would be shocked if he could go 2 or 3 games without a pick. You EXPECT Rodgers to be mistake free.

He's smoking the rest of the NFL in QB rating but his ESPN Total QBR is only 4th in the league. Behind Tony Romo. Whatever.

After watching Romo last night I gained new respect for him. He's no

but he played well last night leading Jerry's dummys to a win. WR that have no idea where to go, a center that snapps the ball when no one is ready, let's just say the Cowboys offense, except for Romo looked worse than the Packers punting return team.

You women are all the same. You said that every year about #4 as well.

I'll take partial responsibility for that one. I knocked on wood and all but I had made a comment that AR hadn't thrown an INT yet this year about 5 minutes before that.
