Regardless of what you think about Russ, the Packers have consistently had a top 5 O-line. They had it with Favre, and they have it with Rodgers. Their pass block win rate is great.
The Seahawks O-line in the last half of the season, was ranked near the bottom.
Also, the idea that Rodgers gets rid of the ball like Brady is hilarious. He holds the ball almost as long as Russ, and in several years has held it LONGER than Russ based on time to throw numbers. This entire thread shows that everyone’s perception of Russ here is based on their stereotype of him, not facts.
Rodgers has an elite O-line, scheme, and an elite receiver. Trading for him over Russ would objectively be a DOWNGRADE.
A QB that gets the ball out on time and in a scheme that allows for underneath and crossing routes that are 2 seconds or so will make the ratings of a O line much better, they don't have to hold blocks as long, they have more left in the tank at games end, they have more energy on running plays where they have to move people and that rating improves.
But that’s just the point. Rodgers’ time to throw has always been above league average. He holds the ball, and extends plays. He can do that, just like Mahomes. Because of their O-line.
We’re the only fan base that expects their play extending QB to throw like Alex Smith, or Tom Brady. Rodgers, Mahomes, Josh Allen all hold the ball. We have debated the numbers on here already. Rodgers may have a quick release but he holds the ball. And his O-line consistently wins at the point of attack for 2.5 seconds or longer.
