As for Rodgers, I can now live much easier with his holding onto the ball for 2 reasons.  First, Rodgers has developed an even quicker delivery, so if he sees someone open the ball is out of his hands.  That happened against the Dolphins many times.  Rodgers got hit a lot and he didn't have much time, but the pass was already away.  Now look at the TD he threw to Cobb.  That was a thing of pure beauty.  No one was open. He held onto the ball, scrambled and showed just how much quickness he still had, and throws a strike to a wide open Cobb in the end zone.   No one, not Kaeperdoink, Newton, Wilson or any other running QB could have done that, and Brady, Brees and Manning don't have that kind of mobility.  Rodgers does and he uses it rather than just throwing the ball away.Fact of the matter, it IS better to risk a sack than risk an INT.  If Tannehill hadn't throw 2 picks in the 1st half, Miami probably wins that game.</blockquote>
