Last season, in a new offense for the first time in his NFL career, and with a relatively underwhelming group of receivers outside of Davante Adams, Rodgers was still able to complete 36 of a league-leading 101 deep passes for 1,222 yards, 12 touchdowns, and just two interceptions. Rodgers gets extra credit for the schematic and personnel constraints, and one wonders how much better he’ll be in his second season with new head coach and offensive play-designer Matt LaFleur. Perhaps good enough to push the franchise off the Jordan Love plan for a while.
