I think this puts an entirely different perspective on who Aaron Rodgers really is right now.
But we dont know which way he changed them? i want to know who keeps calling stretch handoffs to start every drive, the packers will be in the middle of a momentum change, say the defense just held and they have the ball at midfield...then they run off tackle for 1 or 2 yds and now have 2nd and long?I think this puts an entirely different perspective on who Aaron Rodgers really is right now.

Irrespective of the play calling, Rodgers missed a LOT of open receivers this year.
And many other times forced balls when there wide open receivers on the play
. His elusiveness has diminshed severely. If he gets the right fast twitch coach and a Josh McDaniel or Sean McVeigh/Peyton type coach he will be ok. But the beauty of sports is how it evolves. McHones is amazing and the Oklahoma qb will be too. Russ Wilson started the renewal of elusive qb's that died out with Steve Young. It will be interesting to see if Rodgers can play without escapability in a new offense,because I dont see him getting any quicker in the feet.
We've been spoiled by Brady, Brees, Rivers, but it used to not be uncommon for QB's to start diminishing in their mid 30's, and completely deteriorate by their late 30's. Aaron's been awfully beat up the last few years as opposed to Brees and Brady, so maybe his noticeable slippage is due to father time? Next year will be telling.Agree this hasn't been a good season for Rodgers, for whatever reason he hasn't played at his normal HOF level, maybe he's not 100%, maybe he hasn't fully recovered from his injury way back against the Bears, maybe his receivers aren't good enough, maybe it's a little bit of everything, but whatever the reasons this hasn't been his best season.
