[QUOTE="Pack-12, post: 607593, member: 9611"] It's not as simple as he hangs on to the ball too long. The main thing is he isn't afraid to take a sack specifically on 3rd down when throwing the ball away doesn't really do any good and losing a few yards doesn't really hurt. So he keeps the ball and tries to make something happen instead of giving up on the play. Also 30 or 40 sacks isn't really a beating, that's a pretty small amount of plays when you consider 600-700 drop backs. A beating is what happens on all of those other plays. Even if Rodgers is taking a lot of sacks I don't think he's really getting hit a lot as he throws or immediately afterward and he's not throwing under pressure a lot either. Especially last year he typically had a very clean pocket to throw from unless he kept the ball for 4 or 5 seconds. As far as sacks though, they are usually high because Rodgers would rather take the risk of a sack to make a big play happen, it's just his style and it works no matter how many people freak out about it. Now there have certainly been times where the line or parts of it were pretty bad but those usually get remedied. Like the Allen Barbre debacle was just horrible but then we got Tauscher back and the line was solid the rest of that season but people only remember that it was terrible to start off and that's what sticks in their memories not that he had pretty good pass blocking the majority of the season afterwards.
