What do you mean by this era?
Rodgers likes underneath shyt, screens for days, fade routes etc. That's his bread & butter. He can throw down field but he's more comfortable getting 7 with short routes and receiver YAC, which is why the Jets play like the Packers used to, even have the same WRs.

Then there's Mahomes, Allen, Love, Stafford, Burrow, Lamar this year looking to push down field. That's the era we're in and what the league rewards, guys getting schemed open 30, 40, 50 yards down the field and punching it home right after if not on the play

His style was fine a decade ago when he had one of the GOAT seasons. Nowadays it's tough to keep up with the other offense when you want your guys running out of bounds after they get the first. He's playing the game he's always played but it's not winning like it used to

Cover 2/split field defenses

Back when Rodgers was in his prime in the 2010s, and teams were playing cover 1 alot, it was very easy for Rodgers to to soam a lot of the same plays:

Back shoulder fade routes to receivers on the outside

Roll out and run

Roll out and throw the go ball

It's why he was so efficient

But these routes aren't as easily open any more, as teams disguise coverage. They'll show cover 1 but play cover 2.

It's why we've seen Rodgers have a lot of interceptions like this recently, especially in crunch time

2022 last throw as a packer


A few weeks ago against Minnesota


You see those extra safeties coming in? It allows the corner back to play tighter. And they got film on Rodgers so they know he'll throw these
