Really? Did I say that also?
Yeah, I thought about the short passes thing and it could skew the numbers. But I'm curious how his percentage of short passes compare to the rest of the league? I really don't know, but I do know that guys like Peyton throw a ton of short passes.
"Coach Mike McCarthy did in Rodgers’s second season, and he recognized the talent that spent Sundays holding clip board. Since 1993, McCarthy has charted quarterbacks in five footwork drills that rate agility and movement. In his three backup seasons, Rodgers improved most in those areas, McCarthy said, to where he now ranks “at the top of all of .”
In what McCarthy calls his Quarterback School, Rodgers concentrated on tuning his fine motor skills: hand-eye coordination, finger dexterity, mechanics. He also lowered where he held the ball for a smoother, more consistent motion.
By the end of Rodgers’s second year, McCarthy and Thompson saw him as a starter who happened not to start. With his quarterback coach, Tom Clements, Rodgers studied every play from the Packers’ previous season. He also took the spring practice repetitions when Favre stayed home in Mississippi.
Between Rodgers’s second and third seasons, Quarterback School consisted of 10 hours in the film room and 3 hours on the practice field a week, an offensive study conducted in “painstaking detail,” Clements said.
Eventually, Rodgers focused less on learning the Packers’ offense and more on clarifying why defenses ran certain coverages, schemes or fronts. Now, when Rodgers drops back to pass, he does not look for his receivers. He looks for defenders, where they are, where they might move, what that means or could mean. Then he throws for receivers headed toward open space."
So you know and I know my point and I said this in my post that I am not saying Cousins is Rogers. What I am saying is the coaches have to determine if Cousins is coachable. I can find positive threads and negative threads and articles about Cousins. Your point seems to be he isn't learning enough. You came on here two days ago and said he is throwing off his back foot but then Cali posts a breakdown of him over striding on throws last week. There were other references that refuted your claims of two days ago. I am not saying this to say you are wrong. I am pointing out that their are differing opinions. Many by football neophytes.
For the 57th time in the past couple of days I will say what I said those other times. SM and Gruden will determine whether he has what it takes to play the game. You don't have that skill and either do. Your posts tend towards the negative when discussing Cousins mine or more positive. We will see what happens.
