Football Is Aaron Rodgers GROSSLY overrated? - Page 17

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.

Yes. It happens. Sometimes players can be more focused (Jordan '97 comes to mind). Sometimes it has a significant negative impact (Manning's 6 points in 1st half, 32 points in 2nd half comes to mind).

If the goal here, and I'm assuming that there is a point to this, is to make Chiefs fans acknowledge/respect Manning, then a greater tree I never seen pissed up.

The Bears defense that year was 3rd in points allowed that year and allowed 100+ more points than the 2000 Ravens. But yeah, they were the 2nd best defense since 2000.

Pretty sure the Donks/Ravens playoff game was NOT the Super Bowl, dumbass.

The flu was going through the locker room.

The Patriots were forced to have Alexander make the first start of his career. Manning exploited that, which was a smart thing for him to do under the circumstances. Like I said, Manning got his ring, but it was pretty much gifted to him.

Dude you show your bitter here on a regular basis. Keep running it, it's funny. While your posting pictures feel free to post the Charger super bowl trophy shots...

Translation: you tried to get in a "sick burn" and failed miserably.

Yes it was. But it wasn't historic or anything. There are defenses as good or better every season. It's not the 2nd best defense since 2000 like Hootie is saying. They're barely top 10.

He put them in a hole against New England and THE GREATEST CLUTCH QB EVER!!!!!!!! and then he dug them out of said hole and then played an AMAZINGLY EFFICIENT SUPER BOWL GAME AGAINST AN AMAZING DEFENSE THAT WAS SO GOOD REX GROSSMAN WAS THEIR QB.

You can't ****ing say things like "oh Peyton only won a Super Bowl because his teammates played super good!"

because it's a lie

Think that next game was when Vinatieri hit 5 field goals and they scored 0 TDs vs the Ravens. F Marty and Marlon McCree (and Florence,Parker, Kaeding et al). Peyton could've out-choked that team and still be sitting on 0 rings.

If he is 'certainly' top 5 , then he can't be grossly
over rated....right?

Aaron Rodgers is in no way overrated.

He had a touchdown pass called back today that only two or three QBs in the last 20 years could have made.

He had the escapability and arm strength on that play that really no one else in the league can match.
