But you can watch a player and see similarities in their game.
It's stupid to dismiss comparisons.
I can watch Reggie Bush even today and see the valid comparison of his style to Gale Sayers.
Anyone that would suggest that comparison is even remotely suggesting their production is similar is a moron that can't draw a distinction.

Well you can always make comparisons. But that doesn't mean they are a good idea. Matt Cassel's release when he was playing well was very similar to John Elway. He didn't have the arm strength or accuracy, but the physical mechanics of their throwing motion were very similar.
As far as Rodgers though... I don't think there's anyone out there like him. Stafford probably. The way the ball comes out of his hand, it's amazing. It is kind of that Elway-like zip to rip it down the field. Flacco probably has a bigger arm... but he throws a lot of rainbows.
