I don't get the comments about Rodgers not being protected. He had all the time in the world back there waiting for receivers to come open. That's amazing considering the Bears could just about count on a pass play every time.
Rocky,
ARod has indeed had time - the Packers offensive line is pretty decent. But the main reason he's had time is teams are purposely giving him time - choosing to rush only four, keeping the outside guys wide, hemming him in the pocket. And only occasionally bringing a blitz.
And they're doing it because defenses know their tendencies and routes to a step.
Denver wrote the script for everyone to follow and it's worked nearly 1.5 seasons now.
The Packers offense is predicated on three-step-drop and gone (or shotgun), or, it's ARod improvising outside the pocket due to pressure. The offense has become terribly predictable with very little presnap shifts, even less man-in-motion at snap, almost no stacked or bunched WR formations, no screen game, nothing imaginative or creative in the playbook for the last 3 years or so. And ZERO help from the TE position.
Even with a healthy Lacy in the backfield and two tight ends, that's three potential weapons on the field that can't get open or catch the ball out of the backfield.
ARod might have a few issues right now but most of it is based on the above. He hasn't lost it or gone Hollywood - he's frustrated and I can't blame him.
