Rodgers is 1 of 3 in NFC Championship games. Lots of pressure on him to deliver.
I don't think there is. It would be nice if he did, but frankly anyone who is 'rah rah Rodgers' at this point as the 'BOAT' clearly won't have their minds changed no matter what happens on Sunday. If they lose because Brady scores more Rodger's defense let him down. If they lose in a low scoring game by both, it will be proof that Brady was carried by a great defense that happened to keep Rodgers down. If they get blown out everyone will blame his team for under performing. The only way it MIGHT ever be blamed on Rodgers is if he has great protection and misses open WR after open WR. And even then people might question if his WRs ran the right routes, but at must it will be brushed off as a bad day. And his defenders will be quick to point out the times his team let him down in the playoffs, and claim Rodgers is entitled to a few bad games like any other QB. They will also be quick to talk up how the Bucs are a supremely talented dream team!
So honestly, I don't think there is pressure on him to deliver. The people who follow facts and believe Brady is the GOAT and that the BOAT is a silly meaningless term will not be swayed no matter what happens this game, as no matter the outcome Rodgers will be far matching Brady over the course of their careers. As for the people who believe he Rodgers is the 'BOAT' they will simply find another excuse and use mental gymnastics to continue to make a case that simply doesn't hold up in reality.
