From Darren Woodson:The numbers are starting to show that there's a deterioration coming. Especially when you talk about the blitzing because that's something he used to really excel at. You do start to lose some of your reflexes and responses. I started to figure that out later on in my career, too. Even though your mind knows where you should be going, sometimes your body just doesn't react as fast. You're starting to see some of that with him.
When the Patriots played the Green Bay Packers, people were saying that if Aaron Rodgers played for Bill Belichick, he'd have five, six, seven Super Bowl rings. There's something to be said about the mental toughness. Physically, yeah, there's better quarterbacks in this league than Tom Brady. Physically, that can make the throws, throw off-platform, throw the ball 100 miles and are probably more accurate. But the mental toughness that he plays with—that's where he separates himself from everyone. The ability to go out week in and week out, under pressure, play at that level, play in that many AFC Championship Games, play a full schedule of 19, 20 games and then come back the next year and play another 20 games—under the toughest, most grind-it-out coach in the history of the game—in Bill Belichick, no one can do that. That speaks to who he is. No way is Aaron Rodgers is going to deal with Bill Belichick for that amount of time without his ego popping up.
That Woodson quote is they money shot for me. Wow just nails it.
Didn’t see that at all...
Bledsoe: He's better now than he was five years ago.
I'm going to use this argument when the whole "Rodgers/Belichick" thing comes up.

That was a nice thing to say.
But some of his other comments though like the fact he isn’t getting hit (subtly implying that Drew himself did) plus when has talked about Tom in the past - it still feels to me like he never got over it. Understandable I guess.
Good read although it's a little concerning that Moon is starting to see some deterioration in his physical skills (arm, pocket movement, etc).

IMO, it's confirmation bias on Moon's part. He is LOOKING for it.....dunno if he is really SEEING it.
I hope that's the case, but Moon probably has forgotten more about what to look for with a QB's mechanics than all of this forum combined will ever know.
