Football Is Aaron Rodgers GROSSLY overrated? - Page 5

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.

JFC at the people trying to make a case for Alex Smith being similar to Russell Wilson.

Please just stop. Just makes our fan base look stupid.

I wouldn't say grossly but a bit overrated yes.

Time to face the facts.

Solid argument.

"If you take everything away from someone that makes them superior, are they still superior to someone that is currently inferior?"

If you take away her flawless figure, perfect face and glorious tits, is that model really that much hotter than my girlfriend?

People have watched Rodgers this year and have concluded he's played well?

Okay, let's take away Peyton's only SB win.

So far, his numbers are similar to Peyton's this season.

Career numbers for Rodgers and Rivers in games they've started:

yrds/game:

251 vs 273

tds/game:

1.74 vs 2.13

ints/game:

.8 vs .58

Which column would you rather have?

Every QB ever is overrated and/or sucks. Any QB considered good is just lucky or the refs have rigged the game for him.
