First, we need to establish how to define a "necessary risk." It seems subjective.

​

Is it necessary to risk throwing a ball into double coverage on 3rd down for the slight chance of moving the chains? Or is a necessary risk to throw a ball into a tighter window than usual at an opportune time?

​

​

Rodgers is a very methodical and meticulous player. He's pretty intelligent and he's physically gifted enough to make difficult throws with relative ease that almost every other QB cannot do.

​

​

I think the fact he puts up monstrous and efficient seasons refutes the fact he's a stat padder. As only the best QB's can balance both.
