Whos the better QB: Aaron Rodgers or Brett Favre?
If you had to win 1 game. Who do you take?
As I said higher in the column, if the Packers beat the woebegone playoff contenders tonight, Aaron Rodgers will have an identical record after 100 starts (68-32) as Brett Favre. What’s notable in the comparison between the two quarterbacks is the edge Rodgers has statistically. These numbers include only games each quarterback started, not the mop-up stuff each did before beginning their starting careers: Player Starts W-L Comp. Att. Pct. Yards TD-Int TD-Int diff. Rating Rodgers 99 67-32 2,176 3,276 .660 27,193 219-54 +165 107.1 Favre 100 68-32 2,094 3,400 .616 24,079 194-104 +90 89.2 However, in Most Valuable Player awards won by the time of their 100th starts: Favre: 3 Rodgers: 1 Now, Rodgers may get his second this year, but my point about all of this is a simple one. Even though Rodgers is playing in a different day, with more emphasis on the passing game and (this year) more points of emphasis to make it easier to put up monster numbers in the passing game, Favre was a great player early, and Rodgers has been a great player early, one generation apart. There’s good reason if you’re a Favre fan to say Favre was better, and a good reason today to say Rodgers is better. If you love the Packers, simply count yourself lucky to have had two starting quarterbacks in the past 22 years, and both are likely to go down as all-timers if Rodgers stays healthy. http://mmqb.si.com/2014/12/08/jj-wat...nfl-week-14/6/ |

Rodgers. Farve was fun to watch, but Rodgers is just downright amazing.

2 Different QB's, 2 different eras.
Brett would probably rape in today's NFL, but I think Rodgers is still better. |
