3. Aaron Rodgers
Possibly the best quarterback I have ever seen. On the other hand …
2. Tom Brady
Is Aaron Rodgers just an off-brand version of Tom Brady?
Think about it.
- They were both overlooked and doubted initially and given that underdog label, but where Rodgers fell all of 20 picks, Brady fell six effing rounds.
- They bounced back to take over the starting job from entrenched incumbents, but when Brady did it, he went and won three out of four Super Bowls.
- They put up big numbers, but when Brady was really let loose in the Patriots offense, he put up numbers Rodgers has never touched.
- Oh, Aaron Rodgers dates Olivia Munn? Well, Tom Brady married Gisele.
- They are both ****y in a ****ish kind of way, but Brady pulls it off better. He’s the more convincing villain, and he’s also the villain who would be most fun to be friends with.
- They are both funny, but … Brady wins again.
Just saying: There’s been a lot of talk this year about Rodgers eventually turning into the greatest quarterback of all time, but think back to what we’ve seen the past 10 years and what we’re still seeing now. If we’re watching potentially the best quarterback of all time this weekend, it’s probably not Rodgers. For reference, go back and watch that throw to LaFell last week.
