This season has been a combination of things. Rodgers has fallen off significantly in his 17 season and him staying away from the team all offseason compounded the issue.  The lack of experience at WR has furthered Rodgers' drop off.  The defense has underachieved, significantly.  The offensive line was not as good as we thought they'd be as in we thought they'd be average and they've been awful.  And MLF has neglected to adjust the offense to feature it's best player - Aaron Jones.  Everything that could have gone wrong this season, went wrong. 

What's next?  Not sure because I think they're stuck with Rodgers next year due to the dead cap hit.  They went all in for one more year and crapped out and I don't know how they get out of it.  We're looking at a Saints situation going forward. 

stats say Rodgers is better when they run more than pass.  Play action?

Rodgers Stat Swing

In the five games where Rodgers is doubling up the run game, his stats are far below his career numbers. He is 118-of-191 (61.8%) for 1,153 yards (230.6 per game) with six touchdowns to five interceptions. Now, the interceptions are boosted by the three picks against Detroit, but still, this leaves Rodgers with a 78.3 Rating.

In the two games where the running game gets more rushes than Rodgers has passing attempts, Rodgers is 33-of-45 (73.3%) for 458 yards (229 yards per game). He threw five touchdowns in these games and no interceptions. This is good enough for a 137.1 Rating. Even adding in the one 5/50 game the numbers are good. He has 69.3% completions for 216 yards per game and seven touchdowns to one interception. This is still a Rating of 121.42.

Running more not only gives the Packers a better chance of winning, but it helps Aaron Rodgers to have better numbers. We are at a time when Rodgers' role ought to be a play-action quarterback keeping defenses honest.
