In their primes, they each would have been the Patriots #1 WR. By a lot.
Also, at least two of those players have been on Rodgers' team at the same time, throughout his career.
You can blame blowing a 16-0 lead on a single special teams play, but that's silly. Rodgers was bad in the red zone, and went 6-12 for 57 yards in the second half, most of that on the desperation FG drive at the end.
Were it not for his defense picking Wilson off every other play, Seattle would have blown the Packers out. As it was, Seattle played terribly, and Rodgers couldn't take advantage. 4 times in the first 5 drives they were in the Seattle red zone, twice inside the 1...and they manage 16 points.
If you want to give Rodgers a pass, that's your business. Just sounds an awful lot like Manningsplaining to me.
Rodgers not lighting it up against the league's best defense doesn't need a Manningsplanation. Tom has had poor games in the postseason as well. It happens.
As for Rodgers's weapons, they are solid like I said. I suppose there have been years when Jordy Nelson would be Brady's #1 target, but not in any year when Moss or Gronkowski was here. Cobb is great--an Edelman clone. My point is that he has never had a dominant guy that can just win on physical ability, a la the guys I mentioned. Brady has had Moss and Gronk in that category. Also, what has Greg Jennings done since he left? Do you even know what team he is on?
