Of course it&#39;s not a guarantee, but it&#39;s the single biggest predictor of success, especially in the playoffs......a much stronger correlation than TD passes, yards, completion %, etc.<br /><br />Look at the best teams in the league at protecting the ball: Packers, Broncos, Vikings, Pats, Giants, 49ers, Falcons, Colts. Not a single losing record among them.<br /><br />If you can protect the ball, you have a very, very good chance of winning; if you can&#39;t, then regardless of how many TD passes you throw you&#39;ll eventually come up short, especially in the playoffs against quality opponents.<br /><br />Anybody who watched the Packers over the last decade could tell you that.PackerNationhttp://www.packernation.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5328789579487679553.post-32469319036902487162009-09-30T19:44:29.027-05:002009-09-30T19:44:29.027-05:00It is interesting, because I had people tell me back during the Favre era that not throwing interceptions was pretty much a guarantee for winning. It certainly helps, no doubt, and the fact that Rodgers has accomplished this is fantastic. <br /><br />But, despite having no interceptions, his QB rating is below 100, and he also leads the NFL in sacks. There&#39;s certainly room for the argument that there&#39;s more to being a great quarterback besides just taking care of the ball.C.D.

He really needs to get rid of the ball quicker as taking all of these sacks is killing drives (the pass protection could definitely be improved too). I think Rodgers needs to take more chances. I think he&#39;s often so concerned with not taking chances that it has hurts us down the stretch of games. The anti-Favre may look good on paper, but it hasn&#39;t produced the same results as his high risk predecessor had.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
