Here's a quick summary of Rodgers' interceptions:

July 30 — Gunter makes a leaping interception on a fade intended for Jared Abbrederis
July 31 — Burnett hauls in a pass tipped by cornerback Casey Hayward
Aug. 3 — Randall picks off Rodgers in the back of the end zone, though Rodgers thought the rookie was out of bounds
Aug. 4 — Sheilds makes a beautiful play on a deep pass down the left sideline intended for Davante Adams
Aug. 6 — Gunter intercepts a deep pass from Rodgers intended for Janis
Still, McCarthy said he was unfazed by the series of miscues.

"I'm just trying to go through the interceptions," McCarthy said Thursday. "I would think at least three or four of them were competitive balls. I mean, he’s going to do things in training camp that he might not obviously do on a Sunday — give guys chances to make plays and so forth.

"So I guess to answer your question, I’m not concerned about it."

My goodness...nerd is going on about him possibly losing it due to a broken down body, but at least he still knows the O.

It's hard to be the media when you are covering the packers without the brett favre drama going on anymore.

I think this is more of a compliment towards the defense than anything else.

hahahahahahaha In practice, if the receiver is covered, you - the QB - throws it anyway - see what the D Back can do, see what the receiver can do to adjust. OF COURSE, Aaron Rodgers is gonna use the same good judgment in games, even preseason games that he always has shown.

If I created you, I'd use you as a foil for political arguments - now that Dakota has faded into history or whatever.

Its batting practice for crying out loud, practice, swing the bat. It was so hard to get some kids to realize that.

It's training camp, it's a non-issue.
Rodgers has never been and never will be a "turn over machine".
Kudos to the guys getting some picks. If nothing else it's a confidence builder for them.
