Not sure it deserves a thread, but it is the offseason.
In MMQB Andy Benoit has t tidbit on watching Rogers on film:
We all hear about his great running, arm strength, and so on. But what he 'fails' at is the football IQ part of the job, the area where Brady excels at. This is why I get so annoyed at the people who values Rogers 'sizzle' over the 'steak' that is TB12's game. HE makes the right throw to the right guy ALL THE TIME, while Rogers is confused and having to play sandlot ball to compensate.
Some nice stuff on Gilmore and what he did the day he signed with the Pats, reading it he seems like a guy who 'gets it' and will fit in here.

5. I think Aaron Rodgers is still the most difficult quarterback in football to reconcile. I was watching film the other night with one of my research guys, Allan Uy. What kept standing out was how often Rodgers left wide open receivers on the field. And these weren’t receivers who got open just because Rodgers extended the play. They got open within the context of the play’s design. And they were getting open because the play call was beating the coverage concept. Which means that Rodgers, reading the coverage, should have anticipated them being open. Rodgers leaves throws on the field almost every game. Other players who do this tend to be backups or fall out of the league (see Kaepernick, Colin; or Griffin, Robert). The difference? Rodgers still makes plays, even on the snaps where he misses plays. He is a unique talent and an impossible QB to classify.
