Say what you want about Aaron Rodgers, but it is hard to dispute his raw arm talent.
Trailing 3-0 early to the Jacksonville Jaguars, Rodgers made a throw under pressure downfield to Marquez Valdes-Scantling that has to be seen to be believed:

This is the kind of raw arm talent that you just cannot teach. Rodgers has pressure in his face and cannot step into this throw, so he throws it off his back foot from his own 14-yard line and the left hashmark. It drops into the hands of his receiver down at the Jaguars’ 35-yard line, outside the numbers on the right side of the field.
This is just an incredible throw.
Also, bonus points to Valdes-Scantling for how he uses the downfield official to aid his path to the end zone:
