Over the last few weeks, many have said that Aaron Rodgers has had a slow start to 2022. However, at 3-6 and coming off a loss to the Detroit Lions, pundits are turning up the heat. Speaking on Get Up, NFL analyst Dan Orlovsky claimed that the quarterback's loss was the lowest point of his career. Here's how he put it:
"I was wrong about this offense. This is the worst loss of Aaron Rodgers' career. And candidly, it's one of the worst games I've ever seen him play. And I've watched him take every single snap."
He went on, explaining how fast of a fall it has been:
"Everything looks hard for this offense, and I don't know if I've seen him miss this many throws, and I don't know the last time I saw a team fall this far, this fast, this sudden. Three years ago during the NFC title game, and they lost to a team that was a throw away from winning the Super Bowl."
Lastly, he put his conclusion bluntly:
"Two years ago, [they were] in the NFC title game. Last year, [they were] the one seed and [now] they stink."
Aaron Rodgers' subpar performance through the first nine games of the season
Until Week 9, the quarterback was synonymous with consistency. While his offense hasn't been explosive or dynamic, the quarterback continued to turn in games where he didn't implode. However, against the Lions, he imploded, throwing one touchdown and three interceptions.
It was the second win of the season for the Lions. After the loss, Rodgers is now leading a 3-6 team with 14 touchdowns and seven interceptions on the season. If he maintains his current pace, he will finish the year with about 28 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. The 2:1 ratio would be his lowest since 2008.
Of course, Packers fans and the quarterback himself will argue that there is still plenty of time to go. Will the quarterback find a new gear in 2022?
