VIDEO: Montage of Dropped Aaron Rodgers Deep Balls From 2019 Proves He Needs Help
By Jerry Trotta
Aaron Rodgers came incredibly close to leading the Green Bay Packers to a Super Bowl berth last season. However, the Pack were expectedly trounced by the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship Game, and the loss served as a glaring reminder that Rodgers needs more help if the team wants to hoist another Lombardi Trophy during his reign under center. If that somehow wasn't enough to get the message across, this montage of drops by Packers pass catchers on well-thrown deep balls will surely do the trick.
Rodgers threw for over 4,000 yards and 26 touchdowns compared to just four interceptions in 2019 working with that hot mess? The two-time MVP is a magician and his work doesn't get nearly enough of the acclaim that it deserves.
It's worth noting that some of these throws were into tight coverage. Some even resulted in nice breakups by defenders, but this lowlight compilation is truly staggering. It was almost impossible to choose the worst of the bunch, but that Aaron Jones drop against Detroit at the 15-second mark probably deserves to take the cake.
For the love of football, get Rodgers some more playmakers (outside of Davante Adams) that he can trust down the field. It could end up making the difference between a premature postseason exit and and an appearance in the Super Bowl.
