[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 537970"] If you don't see the problem with those two statements put together I don't think I can help very much other to say perfection seems to be expected at the QB position to compensate for serious deficiencies elsewhere. Besides, even if Rodgers had engineered a TD in the final possession, that would have been a 4 point lead. SF would then have been playing for a TD instead of a FG with a generous 5 minutes on the clock. The game would have come down to the DEFENSE regardless, and how much confidence do YOU have that the D would have kept them out of the end zone had that been SF's objective? I have little confidence in that. Now go back and reread those two statements put together. You compare Rodgers averages to his SF game performance. Well, averages are against average teams. SF is arguably the best D in the game, Seattle notwithstanding (especially when on the road). I agree he looks off short routes; I commented on that quite a bit last year, where he would look off a wide open Finley at 10 yards to throw past him to somebody in coverage at 20 yards which doesn't make a lot of sense. The thing is it's easy to see the ones that don't work and overlook the ones that do. Again, it a matter of expecting perfection. I would also point out that we now have 30 year old QB who's been doing what he does for some years now. If anybody expects change in this regard (there's that word "perfection" again) you might want to rethink that. I had a back and forth with Ivo some time ago where I asserted that Rodgers is a particular kind of "gunslinger"...he looks down the field for the big play while having a knack for avoiding INTs. I'd not be trading that in. Like it not, admit it not, but Rodgers played well enough to win even if his performance was not overwhelming. [/QUOTE]
