Colin Cowherd ridicules the idea that Aaron Rodgers is comparable to Tom Brady

Every rating is relative. IMO Brady is the GOAT. I started with Butch Songin followed by Babe Parilli

yeah...nice "rebuttal". I love you enemy team pukes. Here it is in a nutshell pal, and you'll still probably NEVER see it...Rodgers IS a great QB...hell there are a number of great/good quarterbacks in the NFL. There is no quarterback in the NFL that has EVER faced the pressure, the stacked deck, the daily public attacks on his character, the constant wild eyed media assaults and the overwhelming hatred and wishes for failure that Tom Brady has faced. When I see a Rodgers or a Manning or a Wilson perform at a zenith under THIS constant pressure, perhaps I'll listen to your fanboy platitudes.

Until then, child...please.

Probably. I'm left to guess why but I think I have a few ideas.

Point out even ONE instance of Rodgers dealing with anything even remotely close to the avalanche of acrimony aimed at Brady all year. Yes ,YOU are a gaa gaa goony fanboy. I knew you wouldn't see the obvious. Enjoy your QB's career. Fine and dandy. Just STFU about any comparison with Brady and his unique situation. Moron.

I guess every board has to have it's designated ass-whole and you obviously get the honors here. I have no idea what you are talking about. I was talking about who I thought was the best QB in a couple of different ways, not about who's been through what. Deflategate was stupid. That good enough for ya? Brady had to put up with ****.

Once you get off your horse, *MORON,* and start reading other people's posts other than through your own tunnel vision, maybe you'll have something to say.

Look ignoroid...you CANNOT state with ANY certainty HOW Rodgers would have reacted to the conditions Brady has been subjected to...get it you incredible DOLT? You blabber on about how Rodgers does this and Rodgers does that...fine, you're a Packer fan...but NO ONE knows how any player will react to THIS situation...it's NEVER HAPPENED before. We can SEE Brady has led HIS team to a 7-0 record under the most incredible pressure in NFL history. We saw Rodgers crap the proverbial bed last season against Seattle and then SAW Brady BEAT THEM !!!~ What part of this eludes you?? For all we know, Rodgers quite possibly would have QUIT if he was subjected to this deflategate crap. Certainly he has NEVER experienced media and league pressure and constant assaults on his character and his family, yet YOU have the unmitigated gall to log on here and pontificate to US what and how HE'D have handled something like this? Yes, THAT is unbridled fanboy BS. You CANNOT make ANY comparison.

Id take Brady over Rodgers, but when discussing who's the best QB playing today, I think its a fair discussion to have. I do think this year Brady has him beat, but i don't find it insulting if someone would take Rodgers more like I would back in the old Brady v Manning days.

Rodgers is an awesome QB. My second favorite after Brady. I dont feel the need to put him down just to pump up Brady. Neither of them need it. Both great QB's, and the best the league has to offer.

A few weeks ago, Cowherd went on a rant about how the NE media members have been embarrassing pompom wavers for Brady and the Patriots and dismissive of the significance of the DG accusations. Of course, when he was on with Dale and Holley during SB week he was at least as dismissive of the DG accusations and suggested the league was on a witch hunt. That's our two faced boy Colin. He speaks out of both sides of his mouth depending upon his audience. In fact, he's nearly as good at it as Boomer Esiason.

rodgers is a fine quarterback. dude absolutely is a rock star. without a doubt he will be a top 3-4 best QB ever to play the position with or without more SB rings.

However, Brady is the greatest football player of all time. yes, not just greatest QB, but the greatest player.

Boomer is a New Yorker. Doesn't make him a bad person, just someone who has an allegiance to all things green.

Agreed, but he's also an alleged journalist.

According to who? Hes a sports commentator who spreads news.

Why are you all bending over backwards to point out Rodgers' faults?

It only seems like "bending over backwards" because this is one of the few places in the universe, that the fact that Rodgers even HAS faults is ever mentioned. Ever.

Wow. Butch Songin has occupied exactly zero space in my memory from 1961 'til your post. Butch was the Drew Bledsoe to Babe's Brady back in the day. Maybe he started the Border War; he played for the Titans after the Pats.

Visit some Packers boards. Fans go crazy when Rodgers hold onto the ball for too long trying to make a big play.

Not really an enigma. The likability for you comes from him liking Brady.

And that's exactly the reason why I listen to Skip Bayless speak (at least when he talks about Tommy)

Are they bending over backwards too? Or is that just us?

By the way, that's far from Rodgers' only fault. In fact, I don't think it's one he struggles with very much. Occasionally, sure, but every QB is guilty of that from time to time.

3 straight relatively pedestrian performances in a row, and he's still considered the MVP front-runner? Hell, right now, I could make a better case for Andy Dalton for MVP.

I think they miss Jordy Nelson big time.

He can't really go down field like he could last year.

Of course they do, and it's a testament to Rodgers and the Coaching staff that they are still undefeated and looking strong.

Rodgers gets all the deserved credit for that. Absolutely.

Although, it's not like James Jones sucks in that offense.

It's a good parallel to 2010, when the Patriots sent Randy Moss packing, and brought Deion Branch back. They weren't as good on paper, but that offense still managed to move and score points just fine.

That is a very good parallel.

Jones has been very good.

Packers D is also playing well.

Tonight might be pretty low scoring.

Looking forward to it.
