Is Aaron Rodgers officially washed up?

The Green Bay Packers find themselves in serious trouble.

After a bad loss in Week 9 to the Detroit Lions, the Packers fell to 3-6 on the year.

Green Bay has won 13 games in three straight seasons before this one.

Now, they will be lucky to even reach double-digit victories.

One reason for the poor season so far has been the play of quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

The four-time MVP is not taking care of the ball very well this season.

Rodgers has been known to not throw interceptions, with only two of his 18 seasons with over 10 interceptions.

This season, Rodgers has thrown seven interceptions in nine games and looks poised to set a career-high this year.

It has become increasingly clear that the best days of Rodgers are behind him.

Why Rodgers Continues To Struggle

One reason for the struggle of the Packers QB could be that his weapons are not very good.

After losing Davante Adams in the offseason, Green Bay did nothing to replace him.

That is why the Packers are trotting out Allen Lazard, Romeo Doubs and Robert Tonyan as their top pass catchers.

Green Bay does not have any receivers that scare opposing defenses.

But, last week we saw Rodgers consistently make poor throws.

He missed open receivers and threw three red-zone interceptions.

With playoff hopes all but lost in Green Bay, it will be interesting to see how they respond to the struggles.

Rodgers signed a three-year deal before the season.

But, with his play this season, the Packers could be ready to move on from the all-time great.
