Even those who said he was washed up and should move along just before Love took over.What Rodgers has going for him is his ability to read defenders as the play is just starting. If his receivers understand his throwing philosophy in short routes, they'll know that a pass thrown directly over the middle might actually be thrown just inside the tackle before the player reaches the original targeted spot. The reason is the coverage he reads and if the receiver reads it the same way it's going to be a completion. Then there's the delayed throw, just a half second at most but it will often include a pump indicating where the original throw was going to freeze defenders, followed by the actual throw which was beyond the original target. Guys like Donald Driver & Jordy Nelson feasted on those throws because they understood his mindset.I'd suggest the reason Rodgers has 5 INTs this year is that it's the learning curve of the receivers learning exactly what he's going to do on specific plays.Thinking back as to how Rodgers was one of the QBs that turned the back shoulder pass into a staple, and how he's not using it as much in Pittsburgh because it's led to a couple of his INTs fortifies my belief in that same page assessment.</blockquote>
