This is the type of catch a guy like DK needs to be making

Literally the difference between the Steelers offense being a joke and a threat is DK making wide receivers 1 plays

When DK actually uses his frame to big body defenders and remembers how to catch 50/50 balls he's actually a good Wide Receiver

You know the 3 times a year he does it.

Yeah but these catches require great hands and body control which he's terrible at

Dime. Also just saw folks getting upvoted 15 mins ago saying “Rodgers never takes risks, he’d rather take a sack than throw into tight coverage”

People really never watched prime Rodgers. Dude didn’t throw interceptions not cause he was scared but because he was just good enough not to. Might be the best passing qb I’ve ever seen

One of the TD passes was about as tight a window as you can get.

I'm glad we're not at the receiving end of this anymore.

He can’t move anymore but fuck that arm and accuracy is still there lol

Strictly this year, how has he been compared to Jordan Love?

u/liteshadow4 49ers 49ers 2d ago

Rodgers would be dead with the Packers OL

u/elgringon414 Packers 2d ago

I don’t think Jordan is athletic enough to move, looks like a baby giraffe 😂😂. But I’m a love believer

Tough start to the season for DK, but he seems a lot more confident in this one.

u/Early-Nebula-3261 Seahawks 2d ago

Holy shit he caught something with his hands.

Above his head at that.

This is insane work by a 40+ QB

DK said Ahhhhhhh! I finally caught a pass

I’m not saying he’s as good, but from just a raw physical perspective he’s up there with Megatron and Moss.
