He was a Jeff Tedford QB, and by and large, those guys were always overdrafted with little success in the NFL. So teams were leery about that. Didn't have prototypical size. Had a good arm coming out, but not an elite arm. Weird mechanics. Obviously, they were wrong. He drastically improved his arm, his mechanics, his footwork. Mike McCarthy obviously deserves a little credit too. But yes, Rodgers developed quite a bit after college. He has even said he's grateful he got to go to GB, because if he had to play right away for a bad team, things might not have turned out the way they did. Situation has so much to do with how a QB plays. Alex Smith and Jared Goff are prime examples of this. Let's also not forget the GB coaches were begging Ted not to take Rodgers. This idea that he was the clear cut #1 QB is nothing but shoddy revisionist history.</blockquote>
