[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 812837, member: 12283"] I am definitely convinced that the Packers need plenty of help on the OL, but this statistic is telling: Per Ben Fennell of The Athletic, 45 of Rodgers' 53 sacks came after he had held the ball for over 2.5 seconds. To put that in perspective, here are some time to throw averages of notable QB's this season: [LIST] [*]Roethlisberger: 2.55 [*]Brees: 2.59 [*]Brady: 2.61 [*]Rivers: 2.62 [*]Luck: 2.63 [*]Stafford: 2.63 [*]Rodgers: 2.95 [/LIST] The only QB's with a longer time to throw than Rodgers were the highly mobile Deshaun Watson, Russell Wilson, Lamar Jackson, and Josh Allen. Certainly 2.5 seconds isn't a super long time, but it's plenty for a QB to get the ball out. Rodgers and/or the design of the offense wouldn't allow for that. A huge part of the sack problem is on Rodgers. He's holding the ball like he's the same escapable guy he used to be, and he just wasn't. How much of that was age and how much was his knee injury is hard to say, but he's going to need to change his game at some point to remain effective. [/QUOTE]
