There's a lot of suck on that list, sadly.

The interesting thing is that no one else is really close to him.

I thought Steve Young would be on this list considering he had time to sit and get used to the NFL as well. Apparently not.

I will also say that this stat favors 'game manager' type QBs. I think the TD/INT thing can favor some guys who are just careful with the ball and are not that good overall.... Though it is a very important stat, obviously.

I want to be clear that I think Rodgers is the real deal. And it is crazy how much separation he has.

I was surprised that Brady wasn't there.

Good for him! Especially after a tough first season...

If you go here, and look at the career leaderboards, AR is already near the top or at the top of many lists, despite having 7 games (in his first 3 years) of pretty much nothing skewing his per game stats.

http://www.pro-football-reference.com/leaders/

#1 in career passer rating (sick)
#1 in career INT% (sick)
#1 in passing yards per game (if you only go with the 32 games he's started) otherwise he's 15th all time
#1 in adjusted yards/pass attempt. #14 in straight up yards/pass attempt
#7 in career pass completion percentage

Rodgers is starting to become the MAN in the NFL. I can't wait until Rodgers is doing more commercials than Peyton Manning. Maybe even Wrangler will come calling after BrINT's downfall this year. :lol:

I have no evidence to support this theory but I think the curse only counts when the player poses for the cover. This is a game photo so it doesn't count...... That's what I'm telling myself.

4. Aaron Rodgers, Packers
2010's most savvy bet: Rodgers to win the MVP as a semi-long shot at 12-to-1 odds. Last season, he threw for 4,434 yards, 30 touchdowns and just seven picks, then nearly pulled off a historic comeback in that unforgettable Packers-Cards wild-card game (finishing with 423 passing yards, four TDs). And Green Bay's offense has "The Look" in the preseason: Everything is pointing toward a 2009 Saints-type breakout year. On a personal note, my affection for Rodgers increased exponentially at ESPN's Sundance party during the conference championships, when Rodgers and his buddies unabashedly rooted against former nemesis Favre and the Vikings down the stretch and celebrated raucously when New Orleans pulled it out. Rodgers couldn't have been more delighted; he did everything but climb on the bar and start a "F--- YOU, FAVRE!" chant. I will always root for him after that. And yes, that story is 100 percent true.

(One more note: Our next three guys could all say, "As long as I'm healthy, and as long as I have a half-decent defense and skill guys who can make a few plays, pencil me in for 10-12 wins and a playoff spot." I think Rodgers gets there this year.)

That is awesome.
