Yeah it evens out too since the front WR got mauled. I like no calls unless it's truly horrible.
Nobody gets more air under the ball than he does. It's one thing to get it to the endzone, it's another thing to basically punt it into the endzone, and Rodgers does the latter. It clearly matters.
That was a great throw BTW, huge height and drops in the bucket makes it harder to slap down.
There's the revenge Hail Mary from the 2011 playoffs when the Giants pulled one out of their asses vs Green Bay; outstanding....................
Did you see how high he threw it? Not many can do that. 2010 Tom Brady could. But it's a pretty rare skill to have that arm strength.
BTW, the previous play Rodgers threw a pass over the middle that would have killed the half if it had been caught
He let it go at his own 48 and dropped it in a bucket at the back line, plenty of NFL QBs can't throw it 62 in the air with good height.
Running directly into the line on third and one with Rainey and giving the Packers the ball back was awful.
Since about the 5 minute mark of the first quarter, the Giants entire game plan has been awful. What a terrible job by McAdoo, the moment broke him.
When this site is willing to ignore an obscenely small sample size and declare that AR has a magical skill at Haill Marys, how could you expect otherwise?
Tom Brady = best QB in history with less than 3 seconds to throw
Aaron Rodgers = best QB in history with more than 3 seconds to throw
Has anyone said that? Rodgers does seem to be technically better at executing the Hail Mary pass than most; you've still got to get incredibly lucky from that point.
You do realize that small sample sizes can be statistically suggestive if they are enough of an outlier?
I mean Aaron Rodgers is really good he's one of the 3 best QBs in the league every year. He's far more deserving of announcer ballwashing than most who get it.
Rodgers has had 4 hail mary's in the last 18 games. He had two on one drive in the playoffs last year. It's not insignificant.
Not me. No one considers Eli the GOAT. People love to put Rodgers up on that pedestal these days.
SOSH OFFICIAL ALL TIME QUARTERBACK RATINGS UPDATED
1) Tom Brady
2) Eli Manning whenever the Giants are in the playoffs
3) Who cares they all suck
LOL, please state outright that Aaron Rodgers' Hail Mary success is "statistically suggestive," so I can laugh more heartily. Also, what's his exact success rate? I'll hang up and listen.
Seems like at least two posters following you. Is that "statistically suggestive" to the site's overall view?
pretty much this. He seems to do a good job getting lots of air under it so it drops into the pile versus come in at an angle.
That is my biggest issue (as a biased Pats fan). No sooner does Peyton retire then the NFL quickly makes Rodgers the GOAT. Whatever they can do to understate Brady's greatness.
The media loves to say it is BB, Brady cheats, he only throws short, etc.
That is why I don't enjoy the Rodgers ball washing.
There is an argument for Joe Montana in Bill Walsh's West Coast offense. Tom's longer career might be a tiebreaker.
Difficult to do mental arithmetic when you have all that spare change rattling around in your skull.
How do punt return team players not know to treat the ball as radioactive once it hits the floor?
