[OC] Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers’ last 300-yard passing game was 28 games ago. Here is how his streak of games under 300 yards compares to the other starters in the NFL.

  1. Was this the game against Dallas where Watson had 3 TDs? If you look prior to that, I think he had another huge stretch of under 300 yard games. He hasn’t been much of a deep ball/heavy passer in years. A lot of stupid dink and dunks and let the receiver make a play 🙄

  2. Some context for data viz fans who don’t know much about American football. You can be a good, even great quarterback without regularly throwing for 300 yards in a game. If your team runs the ball a lot, you can be able to reliably throw when you need to, still lead your team to a win, all without breaking 200 yards. Also, teams with a big lead tend to run the ball more often, because running the ball is an effective way of running out the game clock, so it’s a self-reinforcing loop.

    That said, the Jets are not a good team, and they haven’t been playing with many leads, so A-a-rod is washed.

    Question to OP – is this based on NFL weeks or games where the QB was a starter? Rodgers was out all last season with an injury so assuming it’s the former 17 of those 28 games aren’t exactly his fault.

  3. He was never a big yardage-total guy, even in his MVP years. He’s all about INTs=bad. To the detriment of his yardage totals and sometimes even to his completion % (because he throws a lot of passes OB)

  4. I never have thought Rodgers was a generational quarterback. People who put him in the same conversation as Brady or Manning always seemed silly to me.
