Aaron Rodgers makes up for his 2019 performance

Rodgers has compensated for his not so good 2019 performance. He has been a different Aaron Rodgers in this season. He has improved all the statistical categories. In 2019, he was not so confident with running the offense, but in 2020, it’s as if he has been cut out for the offense.

“The guy just doesn’t miss right now and then makes because sometimes dudes don’t get open and you got to make the throws, and he’s constantly making these throws,” said analyst Dan Orlovsky.

“He has risen his standard of play and his expectation of play to such an excellent level that if he doesn’t go 10 for 10 he gets upset about it and he’s like, Man, I’m not playing well enough, his, his standard is just so incredibly high.”

“The best Aaron Rodgers has ever had. It’s the best he’s ever looked,” said analyst Dan Orlovsky.

This season is indeed the best season that Rodgers has ever had. No one expected such a drastic change in the Packers shot-caller. He has completely owned this season and is one of the strongest contenders for the MVP this year.
