Some Crazy Aaron Rodgers Stats

PrintAaron Rodgers is a beast, bro. Skip Bayless can say whatever he likes, but Rodgers is truly having one of the greatest seasons ever by a QB, if not the greatest (Yes, 2007 Tom Brady, I'm looking at you, now imagine what would have happened if you DIDN'T have five seconds to throw every pass).
But just to have some fun, here's some cool stats about Rodgers 2011 campaign.
Rodgers has passed 360 times this year, and has completed 260 passes. But wait a second, there's more. Rodgers has had 26 passes dropped by his receivers, 11 throw aways, and a spike. That's 38 plays that can be thrown away. So Rodgers is really 260/322 for a completion percentage of 81.9%. YIKES! Using the same formula, Drew Brees is in second place with a 77.5% completion percentage, which is also very good. The next closest is 72.5%, shared by a few QBs.
Rodgers is 9th in the league in passing attempts, yet he leads the league in yards. Rodgers is averaging about 9.6 yards per pass right now, which is absolutely unreal. 2nd place? Tom Brady, at 8.4 yards per attempt.
Rodgers has 33 touchdowns, to only 4 interceptions. About an 8:1 ratio of touchdown to interception. Not to mention, two of those interceptions were tips.
Quarterback Rating? Rodgers leads all quarterbacks with 128.1. Second place? Miles and miles away, with Brees and Brady barely topping 100.
BUT RODGERS HAS BEST RECEIVERS IN GAME AND HIS STATS RUN UP BECAUSE THEY RUN AFTER THE CATCH!! No, actually, Rodgers leads the league in passing yards MINUS yards after the catch, with 1880.
Passes over 20 yards? Rodgers also leads the league in this category, going 24 for 43, with four drops, for a total of 962 yards. Cam Newton comes in second place, only problem is, he's gone 26 for 63, which is 20 more throws than Rodgers has made, yet he's about one hundred yards behind him, at 866.
Also, on passes over 20 yards, Rodgers has ten touchdowns to one interception.
Against the Lions on Thanksgiving, Rodgers was 21/32 for 2 touchdowns. However, five drops by the wide receivers marred the stats. Rodgers also had a throw away. Call it crazy, but Rodgers said after the game that he wasn't satisfied with his performance. Yet, according to those stats, he only had FIVE off target throws on the day. Five. Every other pass either hit his receiver in the hands, or was the lone throwaway. That type of attitude is the reason why Rodgers is playing so good: He simply is not satisfied.
Uhhhh... QBR? Well, Rodgers leads that too. With an 85.6 average for the year. Unfortunately, he was only awarded 0.8 clutch points by ESPN [For some reason, Eli Manning was awarded 1.2 clutch points]. Measuring clutchness? Well...... Here's an even better comparison..... Rodgers, whose Packers won in Atlanta, completed 26 of 39 passes for 396 yards and two touchdowns. His Total QBR was 82.1. And Tebow, whose Broncos lost to the Chargers, completed four of 10 passes for 79 yards and a touchdown. He also ran the ball six times for 38 yards and a touchdown. His Total QBR was 83.2. [SEEMS LEGIT.....]
[note: I watched every single game and counted each individual snap by Rodgers.]

I've been reading
Life After Favre and the opinions of Aaron Rodgers coming into the draft. A common one was that he didn’t throw a good deep ball. He’s certainly improved since then through practice and coaching, but part of it might have been his own fault. Rodgers came out early and if he’d given scouts another season of film to watch, he might have shown them more. But then he might not have fell into the Packers laps at the end of the 1st round.
If that's the case
I’m glad he came out early. Who knows where we’d be right now if we hadn’t gotten Rodgers.

Then Matt Flynn would've been SB MVP!!
Packers' Magic Numbers:
Clinch Division = 3
Clinch 1st Rd Bye = 3
Clinch Homefield = 4
I looked at the '06 draft...
and Rodgers could have messed up the football space-time continuum by waiting. Consider the first QB drafted was Vince Young at #3, and the Packers had the #5 pick. Assuming we pick a QB, since we didn’t have Rodgers from 05, we could’ve ended up with VY as our QB. Of course that’s not considering maybe HOU or NO would’ve taken Rodgers with #1 or 2, in which case we could’ve ended up with Matt Leinart or Cutler. Or if we draft the best player on the board, maybe we end up with Mario Williams or Reggie Bush. Lucky for us, though, Rodgers decided not to test the limits space and time.

Or maybe we still end up with Rodgers with that pick, but he doesn’t have that chip on his shoulder that gives him the killer instinct we all love so much.
The Green Bay Packers...Putting bad coaches out of their misery since 2010
that 'chip on his shoulder' has been there since high school
and he would have still had the pressure of following Favre.
So I don’t buy that one
football does not build character, it reveals character.
yeah…just throwing out a possiblity. He’s said before that he holds it against some of the teams that passed on him though. YOu are right though, some of that previously existed so it would still likely be there.

Going 5th is different than falling to us.
I think it gave him just a little extra motivation. Plus, he would be a year less into the NFL system.

my point is I think he would have been a great QB in GB regardless of draft position
football does not build character, it reveals character.
Except that
we didn’t draft at the end of the round the next year.
But then he might not have fell into the Packers laps at the end of the 1st round.We drafted fifth.

Dude
Free-thinking != contrarian. You may believe that you’re “freer” than all the “sheep” who populate the site, and that you alone see the “truth” about stuff, but you’re wrong. You’re especially wrong when you attack a post that’s about stats – these are numbers and they don’t lie. arodgb may have placed some superlatives around them, but that’s because the numbers are extraordinary.
Perhaps before you hit “Post” next time, think to yourself, “Am I really making a valid point, or am I staking out an opposite position simply to be contrary? Or am I just stirring up crap where none needs to be stirred?” Because if you’re doing the former, you’re not a free thinker – you’re a character in Monty Python’s “Argument Clinic” sketch. And if you’re doing the latter, you’re a troll.

by Charlie Kelly on Nov 26, 2011 6:19 PM CST via mobile up reply actions
Its just getting to be overboard.
Like I said, I’m as big a fan as anyone of his, but continually praising anyone is bordering on the Favre is the greatest ever. We’ve gotten to the point that we have simply replaced Favre w/ Rodgers.
The other thing, is including drops and throw aways or tipped passes that turn into INT’s as if they are really completions or don’t count. Especially in regards to Rodgers. And then downplaying them for other QB’s. Which seems to be a common practice on this site. As if Rodgers has many more of those than other QB’s.
Thats just how it seems to me, and apparently others. I know its not popular to NOT praise Rodgers, but the amount of it is reminding me of the same w/ Favre. And that bothers me… Like we’re going to repeat our mistakes w/ Favre. We just completely overlooked and ignored what he really was. Rodgers is human and has his failing too.

I agree that sometimes we do go overboard with the Rodgers love, but he is having a terrific season (and a terrific career as well, to this point).
I do see where you’re coming from, though; an interception, even on tipped passes, is still an interception, a tipped incomplete pass is still an incomplete pass, etc. No quarterback will ever be perfect, but Aaron comes pretty darn close and it is sure fun to watch.
by mike_o on Nov 26, 2011 8:10 PM CST up reply actions 1 recs
yeah you can't reasonably factor things like that in
because then, to be fair, you’d have to consider dropped interceptions, tipped passes that end up caught, bad passes or throws into tight coverage where a receiver makes a great play to catch it, etc.
In my opinion, those things all roughly even out in the end, as frustrating as dropped passes are to watch
football does not build character, it reveals character.
I agree that it’s getting to a Favre level but Rodgers has also just recently really came into his own (like week 15 last season). I think people are pretty impressed about how good he’s been, and rightfully so in my opinion. I think you can make a legitimate argument that he’s had one of the best individual seasons ever for a QB. I mean, people are always going to talk about that. We saw the same thing with Brady in 2007 (only more so in my opinion), and with Manning in I think 2004 or 2005 (can’t member but w/e year he had the 49 TDs).
I think it will get to be too much if everybody is giving him this kinda praise in coming seasons when he maybe doesn’t actually deserve it, which I think started to happen with Favre.
The fact that he was part of the Favre ideal might be making it worse too. There were lots of people who were stomping all over him just cause they liked Favre so much. That obviously was wrong, and now people might who didn’t like that might be making sure they’re going to hype up his success because of it. Just my opinion though.

Funny thing is
if he only came into his own at week 15 of last season, he still had the highest passer rating of all time before that.
What he’s done since the concussion is just absurd.
by Archibaldcrane on Nov 27, 2011 2:41 AM CST up reply actions
I don't disagree for a second.
Rodgers is playing outstandind ball and he is right up alongside Brady’s ‘07 and Manning’s best season for the best ever by a QB. There isn’t a QB on the planet I would rather have at the moment. Just too much praise isn’t a good thing either and next thing you know we could have a repeat of Favre. And the fact that its happening so fast is really troubling. I would have thought people would have learned the lesson w/ Favre, but it seems they’re ready to throw themselves right back into the Idol worship thing w/ the Packers QB.
You've been Stroh'd™!!!
Favre and Rodgers are too completely different people
Favre was a result of a character flaw that at the moment, Rodgers doesn’t seem to have. Neither the Jets or the Vikings fans gave Favre the amount of adoration he received in Green Bay, yet he still acted like a diva all the time in both places. Also, Favre’s issues were as much to do with the people managing him as the fans so please stop acting like this fanpost (Or anything else fans say) is going to make Rodgers demand his own locker room or a trade to Minnesota…

hit the nail on the head
football does not build character, it reveals character.
Nothing
Other than to point out what we don’t know yet about Rodgers. And didn’t know about Favre either. What are you arguing?!
You've been Stroh'd™!!!
So we shouldn't praise him now.....
Because maybe around the time he’s in his late 30s, we might find out that he really is an egomaniac who will wind up trying to screw over Green Bay? This is your argument?
Bottom line: arodgb feels good that we have the best QB currently playing in the league. He posted a FanPost that listed the number of things he is currently leading the league in, and marveling at how good of a year he’s having.
Apparently, people enjoying their favorite football team is too much for you to handle, so you decided you had make sure everyone knows that we can’t have fun here. Don’t praise Rodgers because maybe he secretly is like Favre.
Arguing for the sake of arguing. Again.
Angelo: Right….so anyways Jay, I’m sure you understand that we needed to make this move and I wanna wish you the best of luck.
Cutler: (Swoops bangs out of eyes by throwing his head back) Whatever, I don’t need this team or you.

Some is fine
But its now ridicuous! Like I said long ago! If you wanna relive the mistakes of the past go right ahead. I love Rodgers as a player and so far as a person as much as anyone. But I’m trying to keep a perspecitive based on what I learned from Favre! Something your incapable of apparently!
You've been Stroh'd™!!!
Did he say Aaron Rodgers is Jesus Christ?
Did he say Aaron Rodgers can do no wrong? Did he say he’d let Aaron Rodgers get away with murder?
No. He posted stats, and is reveling in the fact that we have the best QB in the league.
How is that “ridiculous?” How is that “going too far”? It’s not. You just have to be the contrarian any time you can, so you can pretend you are a “maverick” or whatever you want to call yourself.
From what I see in arodgb’s post, it’s no more “ridiculous” than your James Starks love last year. At least Rodgers has done something to earn that praise.
Angelo: Right….so anyways Jay, I’m sure you understand that we needed to make this move and I wanna wish you the best of luck.

I’ll be honest. I really don’t get what you are saying at all. Maybe, not living in Wisconsin, I don’t have the context, but what is the problem if some fans go overboard in praising Rodgers. Fans do this with players on winning teams in every sport all over the world.
Personally, I’ve never been much for idolizing players, movie stars, rock stars, or whatever. I just like to watch football and the Packers in particular. But I don’t see the harm in a fan idolizing Rodgers. And what is the connection with “having gone overboard” with Favre?

Here's one for you.
Look how so many of the fans who went over the top with Favre reacted when it was time for him to go.
They practically hung Thompson in effigy, and they booed Rodgers lustily … at practice!
Favre was practically a god to some of those people (R4F, anyone?).
It was over-the-top idolization, and it was wrong.
Favre’s human failures and flaws weren’t the reason it was wrong, they were merely the illustration of it.
Seems to me that Strohman is just pointing out that that road is starting to get some traffic, again, and we should be wary of it.

This got me a little excited...
and they booed Rodgers lustily
is that weird?

Hell, some people were doing it here
Reading some of the archives back from 2008, this one is hilarious, “former Packers Fan” said –
I’m a life long packer fan (37 years) and there is no way I will root for the packers this year if favre is not the starting QB. Not after this.
I will never forgive this bull headed BS! mark my words ted thompson will never work in the NFL again after this is over.and deservedly so!
Were they waaaaaay friggin’ wrong.

The Green Bay Packers...Putting bad coaches out of their misery since 2010
I'm sure there are.
Be hard to believe that 100% of the members today were pro TT/Rodgers three years ago.
My guess is that there are many around here now who were venomously anti-TT then.
They just won’t ever admit it.
-
I do know one old German lady (not on here) who was that way in person … right up until we won the NFC Championship game.
She wore a Favre Jets jersey in 2008, then got a Favre Vikings jersey in 2009, badmouthing Mr. Thompson all the way.
Then when I saw her two days after the NFCCG, she suddenly changed her tune completely, but without ever coming out and actually saying that she had been wrong.
I still get a kick out of that.

I work with a lady
She’s still a Favre fan, and makes a disgusted sound every time she sees Rodgers. She was rooting for the Vikings in 2009 & 2010. I don’t think she knows who Ted Thompson is, but if she did, she would probably hate him.

Germans are stubborn people. =)
But if she’s from Southern Germany its forgivable.

I was anti McCarthy…well not anti, just not a believer. I really didn’t think he’d get it pulled together but he won me over and he has my full trust now.

Me too
I sided with the TT and Co. in the Favre situation. I believed both sides could have handled it better, but the team comes first.
As for MM, I was not convinced until last season. I wasn’t sure if he was the right coach. I know freely admit I was wrong.
December, 7 1941 may be a day that lives in infamy, but December 6, 2011 is a day that will live in AWESOMENESS!!! The day I became part owner of the Green Bay Packers!

well obviously you'd say that, you're a minion...
football does not build character, it reveals character.
Rodgers is 9th in the league in passing attempts, yet he leads the league in yards.
Well, he has played more games than Brady or Brees, that’s why he leads them in yards. Brees and Brady both have more passing yards per game, and both are on pace to break Marino’s 1984 record, while Rodgers is on pace to fall just short.
I love geeking out on stats, but this one is a bit disingenuous.
Not really
Depending on what kind of games Brees & Brady have, Rodgers will be at worst 3rd in yards. He will also probably be around 17th in pass attempts after this week. Brady already has 25 more attempts than Rodgers; Brees has 60 more. Rodgers highest game for attempts was the Atlanta game (39). Brees only has 3 games with fewer attempts than Rodgers’ high game.

still killing both of them in yards per attempt

Eh
I was making a point that he would be close to setting a record for yards, regardless or Brady/Brees. I got the idea to write this fanpost from you, by the way.. LINK
So uh, thanks.
11-0. Hell yeah. HEAR THAT ZUNDAR?
It's my slavish devotion to Aaron Rodgers' stats that make me kind of a perfectionist in the area.
Sorry if my critique came off harsh – a moot point now that Brady is back on top of total yards.

Percentage of the votes
that were actually cast for one of the three:
Jay Cutler -———- 53%
Matthew Stafford — 43%
Christian Ponder — 4%

not going to lie, I am SHOCKED to see cutler in first.
The Green Bay Packers...Putting bad coaches out of their misery since 2010
I voted Cutler
Yes, he has the MUCH better RB…….but I believe, if you switch QBs and give Stafford Chicago’s offense, with Forte, an extremely weak O-line, and very mediocre WRs he’d look worse than Cutler has in Chicago. And if you give Cutler Detroit’s weak running game, better O-line, and superior weapons in the passing game, Cutler would easily look just as good, and probably better, than Stafford right now.
It’s easy to forget that Cutler legitimately looked like a Pro Bowl QB in his 2+ seasons starting for Denver. Go back and look at his stats. His first three years are definitely superior to Stafford’s. Looking at how ugly that Bears offense looked with Hanie there only made my belief stronger. Cutler has mediocre stats, but he was the only thing keeping that offense from looking like one of the worst in the league. Take away Megatron from Stafford, and you have no more jump balls into triple coverage that wind up as TDs, inflating Stafford’s stats.
Angelo: Right….so anyways Jay, I’m sure you understand that we needed to make this move and I wanna wish you the best of luck.
Cutler: (Swoops bangs out of eyes by throwing his head back) Whatever, I don’t need this team or you.

Cutler has an absolute cannon of an arm and is way more accurate than Stafford. And also, I know it’s fashionable to rag on him for being soft, but Cutler is way tougher than Stafford in my opinion.

Cutler also leads the league in pouts per game

I thought that was Rivers.

Cutler is easily the best QB of those three
if the Packers didn’t have Rodgers, I’d take Cutler over almost any other QB in the NFL (Brees, P. Manning, and Rivers in any year other than this one, that’s it). He’s a lot better than people think he is, being stuck with horrendous receivers, a swiss cheese O-line, and an OC who at times seems bent on getting him killed.

This
I think with the right supporting cast he’s easily a top 10 QB.
