For the thousands of words written and spoken about it, the Matt LaFleur-Aaron Rodgers partnership stands in stark contrast to our legitimate, useful understanding of how the pairing fares to this point. From questions about audibles and worries about style, fans and observers are anxious to see actual football.
That said, wondering how much Matt LaFleur adapts his offense for Rodgers provides a fascinating case study in scheme evolution. Sean McVay whispers into Jared Goff’s ears before the snap because he has to, not necessarily because he wants to. LaFleur needs to do no such whispering for his quarterback.
