Aaron Rodgers has been around long enough to have heard just about every gripe a receiver can make, and he knows how to handle them. On Wednesday, he explained how he negotiates that territory with teammates. Part of it is simply his philosophy of throwing to the open guy—so he tries to help guys make themselves open.
“If somebody wants more targets, I welcome the conversation. But I usually say, ‘Let’s watch the film. Let’s see, let’s talk about football’. I love doing that”, Rodgers said, via the Steelers’ website. “I think what young players learn is that practice is very, very important, and when you show it week in and week out in practice, it gives a quarterback a lot of confidence to come your way with the football”.
