I agree that Rodgers holds the ball longer than most QBs, to say the least. But, I think it's the catch-22 of Rodgers. He holds it that long because he trusts his ability - which he should - to make plays with his legs and outside the pocket. And he's also very strong with the ball in that he rarely fumbles it when sacked. Also to his credit, he doesn't make poor decisions - a la Brent Favre - when pressured. Instead, he takes the sack and lives to play another down. Think about it, he was sacked 5 times at the Dome, and he still posted 4 TDs and nearly 400-yards passing. The sacks really don't impact him or the game like they would to most QB's and offenses. So, in sum, yes he holds it long; but he does so in order to buy time to make plays with his legs and when the play breaks down. I'll gladly take that trade-off.</blockquote>
