We’re quite used to high praise pointed in the direction of Packers QB Aaron Rodgers from former players, analysts and players turned analysts. It’s happened before. Even from former quarterbacks.
But the latest from NFL Network analyst Joe Theismann should open some eyes.
“Rodgers, in my personal opinion, is the greatest quarterback when it comes to throwing the football ever to play the game,” Theismann said on “Playbook” Friday. “The release, the quickness he gets it out, the spin on the ball, the position of the ball, everything is absolutely dead perfect. It isn’t just once or twice, its repeated time after time.”
Theismann goes on to explain how and why Rodgers is an “expert” at throwing to a receivers’ back shoulder in the video above. Don’t miss his breakdown.
