Short to mid range passing game. Crispness, tightness of his game.I think he fits perfectly into a west-coast offense where his short-mid range game is emphasized. It's interesting that he was drafted by GB since I've always seen him as a Matt Hasselbeck clone who was a couple years more advanced in terms of development. He's a little streaky like Hasselbeck where both can really catch fire at times but is more of a guy who is intelligent and confident enough to crisply execute a WC scheme at a high level.
This was his weakest area in college and where it seems he'll have the most to prove. He threw 90% of his deep balls at Cal on a line which caused him to miss a number of open receivers. GB fans may have a better idea where he currently stands here.
Rodgers may not have a Jamarcus arm but out routes and deep combacks have been a strength because of the fact that he spins almost all his throws with a ton of pace and has a nice release. He isn't a guy who resorts to touch passes worrying about accuracy so he's usually out there throwing ropes. He gives his guys a good opportunity to pile up YAC like Favre.
Yeah, he's a pretty good athlete. Just like in the Dallas game he'll make a quick, well timed quick to run about 2-3 a game which usually results in a first down. He's not a scrambler who will run around, make a DE miss and then throw downfield however. I don't think he'll make broken plays like Roethlisberger, Favre, or even Brady. In the past he was more of either a pocket passer or a quick get-off runner.
People wanted to compare him to Pennington for some reason when he came out but he's opposite in almost every area. I think he and Hasselbeck share a lot similar qualities.
The word on Rodgers before the draft was he was not as NFL ready as Alex Smith, but had a much Higher Upside(thank god).If Rodgers Stay Healthy, Pack is in the Mix in the NFC this year, if not then......Hey I dont see him throwing blatent INT's to the other team. Love Farve but damn dude could chuck it to the DB's.
