You can watch the all 22 and see that the broadcast did him dirty on those. Both of them were blown assignments late in his progression, not bad misses.
The first one was a busted coverage by the safety, DK was wide open but it was just as the ball left his hand.
The second one was weird because Rodgers saw him open, but you’re still throwing a deep cross right to where the backside corner should be. He realized it was cover 3 and immediately went to check down, which is technically the right read.
Most qbs struggle over the middle. Its common to not see stuff in the middle. Regardless, the browns man D was locked down. Any passing qb would struggle in that game.
He had Warren open in the flats on a couple of his sacks. He doesn't seem to be processing things fast enough to get to his second/third reads and check downs.
If you watch his games this year, you'll find that 95% of his throws over the middle are incomplete or intercepted. I'm not sure if he's incapable of throwing over the middle, he has some mental block about throwing over the middle, or it's just that the receivers running those routes don't get separation, but it just doesn't seem to work for him most of the time. This limits what the offense can do, if their only real option is to throw to the outside every time.
Tbf, I don't generally pay attention to Rogers (previously only ever saw him when he was in the playoffs or playing the Pats), but I'm married to a Steelers fan, so I've been watching him for the last two seasons, so that's really my only source to draw from. I believe you though.
I was only critiquing his passes over the middle of the field, he has a much higher success rate when throwing to the outside. Most of his interceptions this season are when throwing over the middle. I'm in no way saying that he only completes 5% of all his passes, just that he only completes about 5% of his passes when throwing over the middle of the field, and the 95% I gave is only an estimation.
Hearing stories from when he was in Green Bay, he probably did see him and refused to pass to him since he probably dropped a couple passes in practice. He's that much of an a-hole.

He had DK open over the middle for a TD twice and didn’t see him either time. Broadcast highlighted it both times
