Is Aaron Rodgers GROSSLY overrated?

[Hootie]

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.

already discussed said throw

amazing he can make that play happen

also an amazingly stupid football play that often results in him taking an unnecessary sack, and in this case, causing his lineman to commit a holding penalty and then on top of that taking a nasty hit at the end of the play

amazing play, incredibly dumb, though

his one flaw gets celebrated by fans...pretty funny, actually

I'd take Rogers over that choker scrub Manning any day.

I'll just say this about Manning. Year after year he puts his team in contention.

I think he's had at least 10 straight seasons of winning at least 10 games?

Best regular season QB of all time

Just replace "coach" with "QB".

Your sarcasm might be believable if your current QB didn't have a worse playoff record than Manning.

...or if your TEAM hadn't won fewer playoff games since the merger than Manning has won in his 15 seasons.

In fact, here are all the teams with fewer playoff wins since the merger than Manning has had in his career:

Bears
Jets
Chargers
Seahawks
Panthers
Saints
Falcons
Buccaneers
Jaguars
Bengals
Cardinals
Browns
Chiefs
Texans*
Lions

* Texans are the only team that has been in the league for a shorter time than Manning

[the Talking Can]

the only QB in the league i'd take over Rodgers, is Luck (who looks like he is turning into Manning 2.0...****ing Colts, nothing can explain why they deserved him)

[Hootie]

Starting to buy Luck, no doubt...I also thought Peyton Manning was grossly overrated until the playoff no punt game against us...and then he sold me

[ThaVirus]

Eh, Luck has gone off the last two weeks against the Jaguars and Titans. He feasts on the worst division in football.

He choked big time against the Eagles and was largely inept against the Broncos.

Tons of potential though. I wish he were our QB.

Lovie's Bears had some great defenses, particularly at forcing turnovers and even moreso at generating immediate points off said turnovers.

But I agree with you. No ****ing way they're the second best since 2000.

The 2013 Seahawks were better, probably still are.

Just off the top of my head, the Patriots defenses in 2003 and 2004, the Steelers defense in 2004 and the Ravens defense in 2006 would be at least on par with that Bears defense.

LOL 35 of 53 for 370 is inept?

You read the box score but did you watch the game?

The Broncos got off to a 24-0 lead thanks in large part to Luck being inept for 98% of the first half.

He threw one INT that lead to 7 points, contributing to the Broncos early, big lead and another 4th quarter INT to the same guy.

You guys wanted Pootie back.

So Tom Brady won 2 of his 3 Super Bowls with historically good defenses and the other Super Bowl when he went the entire postseason throwing only 1 TD, not playing the AFCCG, and fumbling away a game against the Raiders only to benefit from a dumb ****ing rule....all while having the luxury of spygate and cheating to know the other team's defensive calls...

And you think he's better than Peyton Manning?

Lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol omgggggg Patriots fans are a RIOT

Their homerism has no bounds
