Good QB stats usually equal team wins. This isn't basketball and Rodgers isn't Westbrook. Eh... I don't have a problem with throwing inside the five, in fact, I'm all for it. However, the number of times that Rodgers has thrown TDs on first and goal at the one is pretty silly. I'm guessing he's changing the play at the line of scrimmage just to give himself better numbers. Would be like Westbrook passing up a wide open dunk to hit a spot up shooter because he needs one more assist for a triple double. Sure, it looks good if the guy hits the open jumper, but it's still cringey. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I see nothing wrong with that when you have an elite RZ threat WR and a legendary QB. Given that GB is third in the league in RZ TD rate, seems like it's working out just fine.

When it's first and goal at the one, you can pretty easily slam the ball up the middle for a TD. Yes, you can play action and sneak out a backup TE for a TD pass too, but most teams won't do that because it's inherently riskier and just kind of unnecessary.

ajs723 3,228 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Someone can double check me on this, but I have 17 of Rodgers 33 TDs coming from inside the 6 yard line. He also has one from the 7 yard line. And he has 7, yes seven, TD passes from the 1 yard line (many on early downs). And another TD pass from the 2 yard line. If that's not stat padding, I don't know what is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I know it sucks from a fantasy perspective (unless you're a Rodgers manager), but it sure seems to work from a winning the game perspective. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Right, but play action passes to Marcedes Lewis, Jace Sternberger, and Allen Lazard on first and goal from the one aren't exactly hall of fame caliber plays. It's just a cheesey way to inflate stats. Jones could, and probably should, have 5 or 6 more TD runs this season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Loadedbrewer 47 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 from what I can find (not sure if this includes yesterday's game), from the 5 or closer, here are the number of pass/run attempts and success rate on goal to go situations: From the 1 - 10 passes (60% TD) and 7 runs (43 % TD) From the 2 - 0 passes and 3 runs (100%) 3 - 5 passes (40%) and 4 runs (75%) 4- 2 passes (100%) and 0 runs 5 - 4 passes (75%) and 3 runs (100%) Looks like 14 td passes on 21 attempts and 12 td runs on 17 attempts inside the 5....the pass percentage is high, but utilizing both probably makes the overall result more successful, which shows why their kicker has only attempted 2 kicks inside of 30 yards (only Sea and Phil have equal or less attempts) Any complaint about Rodgers throwing too much inside the 5 just reflects a fantasy owner not getting the points they want.... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
this guy right here 986 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Why smash their best RB in a pile, risking injury when they can throw it to some dudes that are wide open. They were crushing CHI. Save Jones for when it counts. Sadly, that won't be until the playoffs when the fantasy season is over. Until then....55-45 with Williams, RB2 production.

I personally love it when guys say a player is going to not be good, disappear for the part of the year where the player IS actually very good, then come back to say "I told you so" when said player has a dip in production. Good stuff right there.

I bolded that one statement because I think it's an extra good point. Give their run/pass splits they're very unpredictable in that part of the field which makes life even harder on opposing defenses. Personally I HATE how Jones has been splitting time with Williams but, as has been mentioned above, it's hard to argue with the results. They're scoring a ton of points and winning. I think at some point they will lose a game and there's going to be a bunch of "wait...why did Williams have as money touches as Jones while you guys were in the process of losing" talk. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

this guy right here 986 Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 This guy is game script proof. Red zone - doesn't get the ball Goal lie - doesn't get the ball Big lead - not on the field Way behind - not on the field Every other series - not on the field He's guaranteed to never get the ball or not even be on the field. If he scores a 70 yard TD on the first drive...he's money in the bank 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
