Aaron Rodgers footwork when throwing

#21

Aaron Rodgers is absolutely great. Throwing motion, arm strength, poise, cadence, killer instinct, you name it, he has it. Not to mention the accuracy is prob the best I have ever seen.


He'll win another super bowl. This year most likely.

You truly have no clue what you're talking about.

Definitely on the short list of elite quarterbacks. But going to another Super Bowl is going to require some feather-plucking in Arizona. Are the Cardinals ready for him?

Quote:Arms lift the bar. The bar's weight total is 225 pounds. So I would think arm strength is required for that one.


How far a quarterback can throw in a game is not an accurate measure of his arm strength because play calls, footwork, and defenses affect that. The only way to isolate arm strength is throw from your knees.


When people talk arm strength, they're not talking about how far the ball can be throne but how much zip, whether the QB can make those small window throws. Get it in between defenses etc

I don't like Rodgers personally or Packers too much (although I did root for them in SB XLV), but for me he's the best QB in the game over the last few years. I know Peyton and also Brees have a lot of records and respect them, but I'd take Rodgers over both of them and not just because he's younger.

Distance, velocity and accuracy, but JDub can't process more than one factor at any given time.

I'll bet Vic Ketchman is loving this while laughing at the current state of the Jags.

Quote:Arm strength is the most overrated quarterback attribute. Of course stronger is better, but what happens in his head is a lot more important than how much weight he can bench press.
 

lol, So your definition of arm strength, for an NFL QB, is based on how much weight he can bench press?

 

I hardly know where to begin.

 

I guess all I can really say is JW gonna JW.

There are usually a lot of posters asking the same thing when JW makes one of her, well, classic JW posts.

Aaron Rodgers is the most complete qb in the nfl. He's my favorite to watch, but I also think he's the best. He is a pretty flawless player, especially now that he has consistent pass protection and a running game. The throws he makes on the run, outside of the pocket, are a thing of beauty

Best QB in the NFL right now. I realized he was good in that NFC wildcard game Packers Va Cardinals and he went toe-to-toe with Warner.


Packs are lucky to go from Favre to Rodgers

Lucky would be an understatement.

 

Most teams search for years and years for a really good QB and they get 2 elite ones back to back.

 

I'm sure it's real nice to be a Packers fan.

So benching is an arm workout now? Damn, my arms should be a lot bigger than what they are then.

 Hopefully another full off season will help with this.

Well I have never heard of a QB having "chest strength" before.

 

Otoh, I have heard of.........................................., never mind.

It was always fun watching him at Butte. He is no doubt looking to be a HoF.

Bortles throwing motion/footwork reminds me of Tebow, thankfully unlike tebow he can throw the ball within 5 yards of his receiver

I think I can translate this. Arm strength is a misleading term because, when we talk about quarterbacks, "arm strength" never means arm strength. It always refers to the velocity a ball can be thrown accurately. So JW has a point, sort of, I guess.

I think mechanics and technique contributes more to the velocity from a throw as opposed to brute strength, just like with all the niche moves in sports: pitching in baseball, golf swing.
