I caught wind of some blowback on my analysis of the Aaron Rodgers failed fourth-and-2 play against Miami from a few weeks ago. Normally at The MMQB we just let this kind of Twitter chatter go, but in this case the blowback was so objectively incorrect that ignoring it—which, for so many, means validating it—feels like a disservice to an audience that wants to better understand the game.
To recap, the subject of my Extra Point column on Monday was this: Mike McCarthy has earned his place on the coaching hot seat, but Rodgers, the most talented quarterback in the history of football, deserves a portion of the blame.
