That's where I do disagree with you HRE, I do think its fair to expect it. He get paid enough. A hell of a lot of those missed passes are because of under or over throwing.
I think its fair to blame the O line, but it is also fair to say Rodgers is not doing his job properly too. I`m not trying to start a row here, but I keep reading that its everybodies fault, but nobody will point the finger at Rodgers too for some reason.
I just don't agree. I count 2 off-target passes in that game, and a whole lot of completions going to guys in tight coverage with no INTs in the bargain. I have a conservative count of 4 drops plus the incompletion when Adams failed to either get the call or make the right read, whichever. That gets you to 21 of 27.
Nelson makes a lot of money now and is the best slot receiver in football according to Pro Football Focus, and they might be right. By the criteria applied to Rodgers, Nelson should have gotten down sooner for that ball...it was coming from 30 yards away with time to adjust. You might as well blame him for peeking at what was coming from the other side and missed his adjustment window.
I blame neither Rodgers nor Nelson.
The logic here seems to be that paying guys a lot of money means they must overcome poor performances from other quarters, ineffective game plans and poor play calls. There is some validity to that, but there's a line where those kinds of problems are concerned can't be crossed.
