Rogers and the 4thQ

It's been my suspicion that one of the reasons for the Packers lesser success this year is that Aaron Rogers is not playing well in the 4th Quarter. Turns out it is true.

Comparing him to some other QB's from Trent Edwards of Buffalo to Kurt Warner of the Cardinals Rogers is a trailer in 4th quarter performnace. He has 3 final period TD's as comparted to Jay Cutler and Brett Favre's 7. He has 2 INT's + 1 over TD's same as Kurt Warner's 4 TD to 3 INT but considerably inferior to Cutlers 7 to 2 and Trent Edwards 4 to 2.

His 4th quarter rating of 82.3 is the last of the comparison group which is topped by Edwards 103.6. 2nd to last is Brees 86.1.

Rogers loses 11 points off his rating, while QB's like Cutler, and Eli Manning gain up to 10 points.
