Is Aaron Rodgers GROSSLY overrated?
http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/...ck-experiment/
I watched the entire GB/Det game and I must say...Rodgers has not gotten better at getting rid of the ball. He's got a lot of Alex Smith in him in that regard. He takes a TON of unnecessary sacks. It's bothersome. He also missed a wide open Jordy Nelson when trying to come back on 4th and 5 with a terrible pass 3 yards behind him in a clean pocket... He's had 1 good playoff run. So has Joe Flacco. Why does everyone think he's the best QB in the NFL? I think he's top 5, certainly. But I also don't understand how Tony Romo is a choker, but Aaron Rodgers is not? I have been grossly unimpressed with Rodgers this year...and in all honesty, the last few postseasons...super meh. I've said this for a few years now, but...I'd take Russell Wilson over Aaron Rodgers and at this point, I don't even think it's close. Also, Rodgers is nowhere near Peyton Manning (obvi) or IN HIS PRIME Tom Brady, let's be honest. |

I think Brees is a bit overrated. He has a ring and great stats, but his teams missed the playoffs entirely several times. Other than the SB run I don't think his teams have made much noise when they actually make the playoffs either. He's made it to the NFC Championship game just once in 13 years. By comparison, Brady has been to 8 AFC Championship games and 5 SBs in a similar number of seasons.

You know who's rated right about where he belongs?
That's right.

I wonder what would have happened if the Packers had gotten Randy Moss like Favre wanted.
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2869070 If the Packers hadn't spent the first round pick on Rodgers, and had picked up Randy Moss in 07 - would they have won more Super Bowls with Favre? Last edited by Mennonite; 09-23-2014 at 01:44 PM.. |

Rodgers transforms pretty much any time in the NFL into a playoff contender.
Except maybe Tampa Bay.

2 reasons for the decline:
1. Putrid O-line 2. Dana Carvey and Kevin Nealon. |
