Perry’s inability to remain healthy proves his ultimate undoing in Green Bay"To quote the old kids’ show Phineas and Ferb Womens Brett Hundley Jersey , “Hey, where’s Perry?”Soon it won’t be in Green Bay, Wisconsin.Even with the addition of edge rushers Za’Darius Smith and Preston Smith, the Green Bay Packers were planning on releasing veteran outside linebacker Nick Perry per Rob Demovsky of ESPN.The Packers signed Perry to a five-year $60 million contract after a breakout 2016 season, but thanks to injuries and poor performance he never came close to living up to the money Green Bay gave him. After racking up 11 sacks in 14 games in 2016, Perry had seven sacks in 12 games in 2017 before a miserable 1.5 sacks in nine games last season when he finished the year on injured reserve.Perry’s contract was one of the final big misfires of Ted Thompson’s tenure as Packers general manager.Perry’s cap hit was $10.75 million last season and increases this season to $14.4 million.The Packers could save $3.3 million against the cap by releasing him now or $10.7 million if they release him June 2. Regardless Womens Justin Vogel Jersey , Perry’s time in Green Bay comes to an end with a total of 32 sacks in 81 games played. It’s not the conclusion Perry nor the Packers envisioned when he was the team’s first round pick in 2012.Unfortunately he couldn’t stay healthy enough to consistently contribute and now he will take his talents elsewhere. Every adjustment Aaron Rodgers made to his game made sense, but most of them are terrible for his long-term effectiveness."(*Fun fact! Gomez actually scored on this play without ever touching home plate. It’s probably happened before, but I don’t think it’s happened much.)Gomez even hits well, and sometimes very well, but his contact skills have always been dicey, and at age 32 coming off of one of his worst seasons Blake Martinez Jersey , and noticeably slowing, the end is likely in sight. This type of trajectory is what worries me about the current version of Rodgers. He hasn’t really needed to make quick throws because he’s so good at moving in the pocket and buying time, but we saw that agility and speed begin to fade just a bit last season, and with that decline comes some added hits, added injuries, and ineffectiveness. This tendency has already hurt Rodgers Womens Mason Crosby Jersey , and if he didn’t play behind what is essentially an elite offensive line, things would be even worse. Rodgers is currently incapable of hitting big plays without his mobility. If he doesn’t put serious work into developing an old man’s game, he will simply not age well. He has already not aged particularly well.Analysts like to compare Rodgers to Tom Brady and Drew Brees when projecting longevity, but Brady and Brees are masters of creating big plays from quick throws. In 2018, both held the ball an average of under 2.61 seconds before throwing (top 5 among qualifiers). Both quarterbacks play the old man’s game as well as it can be played, and Brady especially has feasted on an entire offensive roster constructed to facilitate a quick-strike Justin McCray Jersey White , YAC-based scheme that keeps him upright and healthy. Rodgers averaged just 7.4 yards per attempt last season despite (or because of) holding onto the ball forever, and that was his highest mark in five years. Brees averaged 8.2 Y/A with his quick strike execution. Brady averaged 7.8.Rodgers’ current game developed naturally, in response to changing circumstances with the team, including the loss of Nelson, the presence of a truly great line, and a distaste for risky throws. It has also instilled terrible habits that result in more frequent hits and a style that simply doesn’t age well. If the new regime can coach up his old man skills that will help the current and future Packers immensely Marwin Evans Jersey , but it won’t be easy. For Aaron Rodgers to really last, he’s going to have to make some throws that make him uncomfortable, and maybe even see a momentary dip in his turnover efficiency. If he can’t adjust, I think many will be surprised at just how quickly he hits the cliff.
