![]() ![]() There are several factors that go into why a QB would throw a 5,000+ yards year. How many yards a QB throws should not be used to evaluate “greatness” for any given year or player. It’s not like he isn’t slinging the pigskin. It is important to remember that this QB has thrown over 45,000 yards. Time: a combination of less offensive possessions and longer, full-counts, limit plays in general Efficiency: AR doesn’t throw a lot of interceptions when this accurate, less yards are needed to win gamesĥ. MLF and AR believe in “high percentage” throws: this means if a high percentage throw is not there, it is likely Rodgers will run, throw the ball away, or take the hit/sackĤ. Having the lead: typically teams with a lead tend to run the ball more to kill the clockģ. Balance: a team that tries to run to create play-action will have less throws in generalĢ. There are several reasons as to why AR isn’t throwing 5,000 yards a year. And just to finish the wall of text, there's also a reason Aaron Rodgers almost never leads the league in passing yards, and almost always is in the MVP conversation. There's a reason Cousins only wins fantasy leagues. OP brought up Kirk Cousins, who's also one of the kings of garbage time, and again as others have said, Rodgers isn't playing garbage time football against relaxed second string defenses late in games to pad his stats. Brady is probably just as allergic to interceptions as Rodgers but because he throws the ball twice as often, he has more than double the career INTs, and way more multiple INT games if Rodgers throws one he spends the rest of the game being far more careful with the football and throwing more conservatively, and even on his late game comeback attempts he almost never gives up a pick in high-risk situations, partly because he's not throwing 40 yards into double coverage and just hoping his receiver makes the catch another side effect of not having, say, a Randy Moss or Megatron type WR. Brees is one of the better comparisons to Rodgers, accuracy wise, but Sean Payton always ran a big risk/reward style offense with plays designed to get YAC, deep balls to speedsters, and running backs getting involved in the passing game far more often than anything Rodgers has had. His comfort zone seems to be around 25-30 attempts per game, unlike Brees or Brady who'd usually throw over 40 times per game in, as others have said, a much more fast paced offense than the Packers operate. For the most part the receivers also don't rack up too many YAC which also really helps the overall yards most QBs get. Have to take into account that other than Adams, he's never had a top tier wide receiver to throw to, and almost never had a dominant run game to play off of, both of which will limit things like long ball attempts and 50/50 balls. Some of Rodgers worst games look really bad in the box score because he gets pulled early in the 4th instead of staying in and getting 100+ more yds on a defense that doesn't really care anymore. Many qbs you've mentioned are still in there down 24+ in the 4th quarter to try and help the stats. When trailing big in games we know we are gonna lose, Rodgers often is pulled. Rodgers rarely has ever stat padded when losing. This is more as of recent years but Rodgers loves to have the playclock run down as much as possible when on offense. To have decent play action, you need to run the ball so often to make it work even when it doesn't work. Rodgers is arguably his most dangerous off play action. McCarthy and Lafluer are/were firm in having a balanced offense. Risky plays can net big yardage if things go your way. Yes he has made countless risky/tight window throws in his career but there's a reason he's yet to reach 100 INTS. When you have a lead you typically run the ball. We have typically been a top 10 team in the league the majority of his career which means we aren't behind in most of our games.
