Here's a contrasting view from foootballoutsiders - they have Rodgers as number 1 and Brady as number 2 this week - Brady actually won on passing grade:
Aaron Rodgers GB
Rodgers was very effective throwing very short. On passes within 2 yards of the line of scrimmage, he went 7-of-7 for 75 yards. Three of those completions went for touchdowns, three others went for first downs, and the other was a 7-yard gain on first-and-10. Mind you, Rodgers was also very good throwing very deep. On passes that traveled at least 13 yards downfield, he went 5-of-7 for 143 yards, including a 27-yard touchdown. He was virtually perfect at the goal-line; inside the Kansas City 10, he went 4-of-5 for 19 yards and four touchdowns. The Packers have the best quarterback in football, and they weren't afraid to use him -- seven of Rodgers' first eight passes came on first down.
2.
Tom Brady NE
Brady has now finished
first,
fifth, and second in Quick Reads. He has three games with 139 passing DYAR; the rest of the NFL, combined, has 11. Yes, he's having a good year. There was a point early in the third quarter when New England was ahead 20-3, and Brady was sacked on third-and-13. It seemed like he was angry the Jaguars had the audacity to sack him, because his next two throws resulted in DPIs of 52 and 24 yards, and then he completed ten passes in a row, gaining 83 yards and six first downs in the process, including a 13-yard touchdown to Keshawn Martin. Then the Jaguars had the nerve to sack him again, and so he threw three more passes, completing two for 20 yards. Now, I'm not sure WHY Brady threw eight passes while the Patriots were ahead by 34 points in the fourth quarter when Jimmy Garoppolo was right there for mop-up duty, but that's hardly new ground for New England. Brady's arm strength has been questioned in recent years, but he was most effective against Jacksonville when throwing deep. He threw eight passes that traveled at least 10 yards downfield, and only one was incomplete. Two, as mentioned, resulted in DPIs for 76 total yards; five others were completed for 126 yards and five first downs.
