Too Long Template

I added {{Too long}} to this article and encourage editors to keep it unless the article is shortened. This article suffers from recentism, with way too much game-by-game detail. It lacks adequate summary style and includes ridiculous levels of detail ("Rodgers was also instructed to lower his body fat ratio from 15 percent to 12 percent", "The next week against the Minnesota Vikings, Rodgers completed 24 of 29 passes in a 44–31 victory", "Amongst quarterbacks, he finished third in rushing yards and fifth in rushing touchdowns", "Following the bye-week, despite a continuing knee injury, Rodgers had his third consecutive week with a 100+ quarterback rating, which included 286 yards passing, no interceptions, and a go-ahead 40-yard touchdown pass to Marquez Valdes-Scantling in a 29–27 loss to the Los Angeles Rams."). There is an ungodly amount of references, with some sentences having 3-4 separate inline citations. The "Media appearances" section is basically a trivia list of random cameos and fun facts that serves little long-term encyclopedic value. I leave this here in hopes that it provides justification for the tag and encourages editors to trim where possible, instead of continually expanding it with frivolous details. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 22:56, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Just want to reiterate that without significant condensing of this article, the {{too long}} template should remain. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 03:26, 24 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Gonzo, what should be done to this article? « KENGRIFFEYFAN24 (talk)

Hi KENGRIFFEYFAN24, the article could use a significant rewrite with a focus on a high-level summary of Rodgers' career, instead of the current "game summary" type details that dominate the page. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 22:33, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Mistake I found

The pick percentage in a season record belongs to Tom Brady he threw 28-2 in 2017 while Aaron threw 25-2 so unless Aaron throws 29-2 or 30-2 it’s still not his record no offense just something I found to be an error that slipped through tbh that needs correcting. 47.157.236.115 (talk) 09:12, 3 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @47.157.236.115,

I understand how you came to this conclusion, but you're looking at is as the touchdown to interception ratio, Brady actually does have the record in. Pick percentage is defined as "percentage of times intercepted attempting to pass". Check out the links to Aaron Rodgers Pro-Football-Reference and Tom Brady Pro-Football-Reference, they have a column specifically for this stat. Brady's best interception percentage was 2016, when he threw 432 passes and only 2 of them were intercepted, a rate of 0.0046%. Rodgers' best interception rate was in 2018, when he threw 597 passes and only 2 of them were intercepted, a rate of 0.0034%. Hey man im josh (talk) 12:29, 3 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Correction of misunderstanding

Oh it was a record for passes not intercepted in a season rather than ratio thanks for clearing it up at times it can be close and far away in differences have a great day. 47.157.236.115 (talk) 08:38, 4 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
