All I'm saying is you all, and by you all, I mean 2 people, are going overboard with this rodgers love. Slow it down, he's had 1 and a half great years and that makes him the best player in the history of the NFL? You're a smart fan, you have to realize how silly of a statement that is.

If you want to say, he's on his way to becoming the best player ever, fine, that's an opinion, he very well could. But to deem him the best player ever right now is ridiculous.

Like icness said and Roundmound brought up, just enjoy his run. **** changes, brady was on his way to have another 07 like year then he tore his ACL. Manning going for another MVP run, he's out for the year. So on and so on.


Hes had 3.5 great years including 2.5 all time great years out of 3.5 years.

You don't need to tell me to enjoy his run - I am enjoying it thoroughly - and I know you can believe that.

It would have been fine to say Michael Jordan was the best NBA player ever in 1991, but not the greatest ever at least not yet. We are in the 1991 MJ stage with Aaron Rodgers right now.


Slow down, buddy. MJ became a household name in an era of less than stellar talent in a period of league-wide transition.

Rodgers is doing something totally unprecedented in an era of football that has so much parity in every division and locker room that one thing could completely topple his run.

Rodgers is an animal right now, but still got a way to go before 07 Brady. By far the best QB in the L right now though, and Brady is my favorite player.

Brady was sitting at a 132.7 QB rating 7 games into the 07 season

Insane. But just like Brady in 07, Rodgers's rating will dip slightly considering both teams play a lot of games outdoors in the cold weather.

Rodgers Murdock is going to have me rooting against A-Rod with all this. And I like the guy. I was rooting for him, and I played against him in fantasy today. :lol:

The thing is he probly won't play the 16th game unless the packers are 15-0 like the patriots were during Brady's season. Hell he might only play a half of the 15th game. The packers may be 7-0 but they have a long way to go. But I am loving watching this season. Much more than last season (minus playoffs).

I'm a major Packers guy but he's got some time before he catches '07 Brady.

Not to split hairs, because it was incredible either way, but with Moss doing what he did that season, it was insane watching teams rush 3 or 4 guys almost every single play because that was the only way to stop them.

I wonder what Rodgers would do in one of those situations, granted, he has an incredible supporting cast but nobody like Moss. Finley does completely change the coverage schemes and their boost in scoring this year reflects that, but he isn't possibly the best game-changing WR in the history of the game like Moss.

I don't know if anyone will touch Brady's 2007 numbers for a long time.

At least we aren't the only team to pass him up, but...still. Both him and Tom Brady desperately wanted to play for the Niners, and we passed both of them up.

He played a good game. He could have done better, but he was still the best player on his team today. I dont think there was anything he could have done to win them this game. This team is not that talented besides at WR and QB, and the WRs were dropping passes and fumbling.

Oh I agree just thought it was funny reading the comments now that the season is over.
