QBs wouldn't be throwing so much if they were plowded every play, no question about that.But to say that what Rodgers is doing is only a product of the rules, when, compared to his own peers, he's playing so much better than they are, and when that difference is bigger than in any season in history, is beyond moronic.You can make an argument that Rodgers' season isn't that much better than other seasons, because it's been inflating by the rules. But it's undeniable that, with rules or not, he's having one of the best seasons in history, certainly on par with the ones he mentioned, exactly because even with rules helping the passing game, he's playing THAT much better than everyone else in the same season, and THAT much better than everyone else in the decade. (please don't ask me to do a statistical comparison with everyone else in the decade, as compared to what those other guys did in their decade. It's not that dificult, but I've just done that one before... It's 8 points better than the second one, Manning in 04, with the same rules. You do the rest OK?)</blockquote>
