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. |

They have done to Rodgers what seems to be the theme in the league. Pay your qb, and lose play makers. The packers have no tight end. Aaron misses james Jones. Neither adams, nor boykins have earned Rodgers trust.

Rodgers is a good QB. He's had a silver spoon shoved up his ass since the day he was drafted. GB did everything right with him. Time to sit and learn.. consistent and good coaching.. excellent pass weapons.. good RB. I think the disconnect is that some fans bought into this idea that "all top QBs can always overcome team deficiencies around them." At times, maybe so.. other times, the deficiencies can drag them down pretty far. So far, Aaron has had one good game.. and two "meh" games. He's ranked 21st in pressure %... think about that for a moment.

He's rated about right. Every QB has flaws.
You can't win them all

Alex Smith wishes he was Wilson. Wilson's a boss.

Because there is a bit of truth to it. Green Bay doesn't have the awesome skills guys around him anymore & he's struggling a bit. Don't be blinded by the past or fandimonium, just sit back and watch the games. He's still good & I'd take him over the guy we got any day.

As of 2013, 5 - 24 record in close games. He is a great qb. He is overrated because everyone says he's one of the best. Gotta close games consistently to be considered the best.

I wonder if the Packers will trade Rodgers for Alex straight up.

Chiefsplanet has removed Aaron Rodgers from the list of mythical "elite" quarterbacks. We can just let that statement stand on its own as to what the football IQ is around here.. |
