[QUOTE="Hauschild, post: 252380, member: 1638"] I agree with your analysis on this one. I think Rodgers a prototypical pocket passer - he excels when he has a pocket to step up into and becomes much less effective when protection breaks down and he must become improvisational. I guess that could be said about most NFL QB's in general, but there are those that seem to thrive when things become chaotic, such as Brett Favre, Steve Young, Jeff Garcia, etc. These types of guys seem to almost play better when they're forced to "think on the run" because they expose the weaknesses of aggressive defensive play. For example, you take a look at Peyton Manning and his successes, but how many plays that he's made can you remember where his pocket collapsed and was forced to manufacture a play? I can't name many. He's continually afforded a pocket to step up into. And, Rodgers is not unlike Manning in this regard - give him time and he'll carve your defense up. The problem is that not all NFL teams have perennial All-Pro O-lines like Indy seems to be able to field. Is it any coincidence that Tom Brady's numbers are WAY down now that he's lost his cohesive and dominant O-line? That seemed to begin in the Super Bowl loss to the Giants. It's funny how Rodgers numbers tank when opposing defenses blitz, but Favre's numbers balloon. And, we could wait on Rodgers to possibly acquire the improvisational skills, but I don't believe this trait is learned - I believe it is ******. As a result, TT needs to strengthen the O-line with legitimate talent instead of perusing the waiver wires and using 4th and 5th round picks. Why even waste a 1st rounder on a QB when you're keen on nickel-and-diming your way to an offensive line? I'm sure Rodgers numbers will drastically improve with Clifton's/Tauscher's return, but these guys are old. Replacements for these two players should already have been drafted. Waiting another year or two or three means writing off more seasons. [/QUOTE]
