I don't think that means he can't be a good QB, but he has a long way to go. Maybe with more playing time he gets better at some of this stuff.

Yeah i kinda agree on the scrambling and pocket awarness...thats the damn problem with spread QB coming out of college. They dont have that experience under center and reading defenses. Thats why the Baylors and TCU are crap football...they teach really bad fucking habits.
You should have heard the Jordy Nelson interview today on Dan Patrick. Rodgers orchestras the Packers offense by reading the defense, checking for a play and waiting to see if the defense then will check with a response. Nelson says immediately after the his first step after the snap, they will know everything the defense will do and the WRs will know routes to runs, based on the initial defense movement.
Nelson explained the blown coverage where he caught the TD, he said he and Rodgers could tell immediately that 2 out of the 11 Bears defense did not get the right check down to a cover 2, so Nelson ran a go for a TD.
Now in that case, thats not natural instinct...thats experience, tape study, and good coaching. Also Rodgers has to be receptive to that coaching
