The Facts:
At Green Bay's recently concluded mini-camp, Rodgers was erratic at best. The pinpoint accuracy and confidence he displayed at Cal were gone. Far too many of Rodgers' throws sailed high on him and he was indecisive in his reads. Even though Rodgers' struggles are par for the rookie course, the Packers seemed concerned. "Something is causing him to have his ball sail," offensive coordinator Tom Rossley said of Rodgers. "He's high on all of his throws."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Rodgers admits he's off his game, primarily because he's still climbing the learning curve. "He knew what he was doing (at Cal)," Rossley said of Rodgers, who was very accurate at the previous level. "As he learns, his accuracy will get better. ..." Coaches clearly expect improvement, but at this point Rodgers hasn't shown he'll be able to supplant Craig Nall as Brett Favre's backup in 2005.
