I'd say Rodgers is more Brady + Luck combined

Astute observation as ever from BB. Game planning against him is going to be tough.

Regardless, Rogers is a worthy competitor. Love seeing great talents compete. We're blessed.

without lucks stupid INTs and without mannings sweet arm strength...better then both

He's more like Luck, since he wears #12

He's a front runner like Manning that's for sure.

I think his record of one and done in the playoffs are up their with Manning, but Rodgers led GB to a SB, and shredded the Steelers in the big game. I don't think Rodgers chokes in big games like Manning.

Agreed, but just like Manning, he's at his best when everything is going perfectly to plan. How many times have we seen Tom pull a game out of his rear end when everything went wrong?

Michael Felger must be torn. As a Packer fan, he likes that Belichick gives Rodgers so much respect. But he must be upset that Belichick's comments seriously put a damper on his efforts to petition the NFL to start building the Andrew Luck wing of the Hall of Fame.

You know this post and a couple of the ones above caused me to realize one of the weird things about being a Pats fan. Every time someone claims a QB is great (Luck, Rodgers, etc.,) I immediately compare them to Brady. Then two seconds later, I reach the conclusion the person is overrated. Problem is, Brady may be the greatest of all time. So I'm not REALLY comparing them against the scale of greatness in the league. I'm comparing them to the best to ever play and they're coming up short. Not exactly fair.

Going to pay more attention to Rodgers today to see what I really think of him independent of my opinion on him vs Brady.

I am not comparing them to Brady. I am talking about how Felger from the second the Colts drafted Luck, he declared Luck a HOFer and stated he may be better than either Manning or Brady.

I think Luck is overrated by a lot, but it isn't because I am comparing him to Brady, but so many people seem to overlook that Luck makes a lot of mistakes and stupid throws and only looks at the spectacular plays he makes.

Bingo!

I still think Luck is good, but he's at a point in his career where those mistakes should be cut down. I think the media just in a hurry to crown a new QB the GOAT that they forget that.

Sorry if I was unclear. *I've* been mentally comparing these guys to Brady and that's why they always disappoint me. Blessed Pats fan.

That said, I don't think Luck is any Rodgers let alone a Brady.

Rodgers is great but, since that SB win he's only beaten a Vikings team with a wide out at QB in the 3 years since. Them going one and done this year would be pretty huge. He also has very very very few comeback wins. I see him as a smarter Andrew Luck. He rarely ever throws interceptions. Probably lowest % of all time. He still scares me a lot more than Peyton because he won't be effected by the weather.

 

[Galeb]

Try imagining Rodgers playing for BB...

 

[lurker1965]

Why oh Why did Belichick insult him like that?

 

[goheels22002]

The way Brady, Belichick, and members of the defense have been talking about Aaron Rodgers all week, you'd think they spent all week on the golf course at the men's tees being ball washers.

The packers, even in the frigid cold are beatable like the niners showed last year in the playoffs. Can't wait for the game already
