Message: <blockquote data-quote="HardRightEdge" data-source="post: 801707">That's hard to argue, isn't it?  Nobody went out of their way to identify the open receiver underneath when he threw those balls to Tonyan or Adams, or all of the other long completions over the last decade.  He used to routinely pass up Finley open over the middle for the 10 yard gain.  The fact of the matter is when Rodgers sees single high safety or one-on-one on the perimeter or he's in scramble play mode, he's looking first to go down field.  Always has.  He did catch Seattle in a 12-man situation and threw underneath for a nice gain.  In past seasons that was always a deep shot.  So there's that.If one does not like Rodgers' approach now, then they should have disliked it when the team was winning with it.  There's an argument for that, but not much for, "what's wrong with Rodgers now is x or y or z".I would note one area where he's not quite the same.  While his straight line speed looks about back to normal, he may not have the same lateral quickness with the knee injury.  His past uncanny ability to slip and slide through and out of the pocket has not been on display.  It seems he's getting tripped up more trying to escape.  That may he the reason we're getting more throwaways.</blockquote>
