Packers Offense Needs to Operate Fast

Last season, Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers took an average of 2.95 seconds to throw, according to Next Gen Stats. Only four quarterbacks took longer.

Buffalo's Josh Allen took longest and he was just bad last year. Seattle's Russell Wilson and Houston's Deshaun Watson both took 3.01 while Baltimore's Lamar Jackson needed 3.1 seconds per pass. All three appeared in the postseason. LA Rams quarterback Jared Goff was slightly quicker than Rodgers at 2.94 seconds and Goff nearly won a Super Bowl.

Rodgers' time to throw wasn't entirely what doomed the Packers offense in 2018 but it's one sign that the offense needs to operate faster.
