I predict that most of the predictions will be wrong.
I'm not questioning Rodgers' ability (I think he's an outstanding QB) it's more he's blown up into demi-god status and appreciated to the same level as guys who have produced year in and year out for the majority of their careers. Rodgers hasn't brought that prolonged level of performance to the NFL just yet.Woah. Gotta disagree with you on this one. Rodgers has had some nice receivers, but he played behind a brutal OL for most of his tenure. His mobility was a must, and he's the best I've seen in 20 years at throwing on the run. GB's running game has sucked as well.
The only possible negative on Aaron's slate is the rumblings that he is too full of himself. On the field, he is outstanding.
They may be @Rob0729 but they've added some nice pieces on D and the Ryans know how to prepare a Defense. I see a slight parallel with New England.I personally think that New Orleans may be overrated. I think the Falcons could rebound and take the South from them.

Not to allow people to be confused, I believe Rodgers is an outstanding talent but Brees, Brady and Manning have been consistently excellent performers.
You're right. Rodgers was drafted into an excellent situation and has produced. The point you continue to miss is he has not produced to the same level as Brady, Brees and Manning just yet.But he has. Since taking over as a starter in 2008, he's never thrown for less than 28 TDs in a full season, never thrown for more than 13 ints (three seasons with single digits, averaging ~9 per year) and has only had one season with less than 100 passer rating... and that was 93.8! Sure, it isn't the greatest stat in the world, but Rodgers is tops in NFL history in career passer rating, by a healthy margin.
Brady was playing in a different era (let's not consider the rule changes that encourage offense since Goodell took the reigns) with a defensive team, not an offensive team. That said, I wouldn't have said Brady was an All World QB until 2007 as it was the first season Belichick gave him the tools to show that ability.Did Brady have enough of a history to be considered a great QB going into the 2007 season? I can't imagine you'll say no, but that is the same respective position of Aaron's career... except he's got Brady beat by a country mile in actual production.
I think he's an outstanding QB but like many people today, plaudits are thrown around far too easily for my liking.As far as I'm concerned, Rodgers deserves every accolade he receives.

You're welcome to that opinion but I'm going to apply my contextual understanding of what the NFL has become.While I agree with your latter point - it seems everything has to be put into historical context within minutes, turning commentary into hyperbole contests - I can still find absolutely no evidence for your first claim. Rodgers has performed at a higher level than all three of them, behind the worst OL by a huge margin and the least help from a rushing attack. He even has a SB, so you can't discredit him there.
What the other three have on him is tenure, and nothing more. Other than, again, the whispers that he can be an arrogant d-bag.
