Assuming you have Rodgers rated as the #1 QB (1 Viewer)

[whodeywhodey]

An interesting thought.

Do you put Rodgers in a tier of his own or do you have him ranked equal with Brees, Manning, Brady, etc?

Personally I have him in a tier all of his own. I would try to trade Brees or one of the other "top QBs" + a draft pick or player to get him if I could.

I think there is a chance he scores 30-40+ more points than the second rated QB this year.

There is nothing that makes me more or less confident in predicting bigger results for any of the top 6 QB's. And the only thing that keeps it from being 8 is uncertainty in the SD and MIN receiving corps.

When you have Rodgers going #1 in the draft and Finley#2, that's serious tier level.

Yeah, not quite smoking that pipe.But I do like the Packers offense this year.

Packers are firing on all cylinders right now. However if you are looking at his playoff weeks, its in Green Bay and NE. I'll take Brees over Rodgers all day long since I plan on making the playoffs in our redraft league. I've lost a championship becasue of weather once when Favre couldn't throw the ball in Chicago in 2007. Rodgers plays week 15-17 up north this year.So if you have Rodgers ranked ahead of Brees by a little, take Brees.

Manning does, easily. I would say Brees does too but I recognize that is probably because he makes them look much better than they are.

Well, I may disagree with the "weapons part"...I would choose the receiving squad of NO, Dallas and Indy over that of GB...BUT, GB easily has the weakest running game of those three and in my opinion, that is what puts Rodgers in a class of his own (which I agree with your assessment). Now, to answer you question, I would say "it depends". If you could give me Manning, Brees and Romo versus just Rodgers, I would take that bet any day, as I feel one of those three could outscore Rodgers...in real life, I would never take that bet as i think there is a 50% chance he ends up being FF QB#1 and I have no clue out of the three I mentioned, who would be the one to take the crown from him. Reality is, Rodgers is the safe bet...

Indy's running game is far worse than GBs (worst in the league last year and nothing has changed), but Addai catches better than Grant

 

[Chaka]

I like Rogers probably a little more than Manning on a ppg basis but Manning is a mortal lock to start 16 games and Rogers is not.

Brees also looks like a better bet to start 16 games.

Rogers takes way to many hits

We may be splitting hairs, but I would take Addai/Brown over Grant/Jackson...albiet, not by a lot, but still feel Brown is the "X factor" and will have a decent enough season to put his combined numbers with Addai over the GB rushing game...probably exagerrated with the "easily" part, but still like the Colts RB talent over that of GB.

I don't see it as splitting hairs at all. Indy finished as the 32nd rushing team last year (easily the worst) and GB was 14th (easily better than 32nd). I don't see that anything has changed appreciably for either running game during the offseason.It's not so much the talent of the players, which looks like a push more than anything, as how they are used. Manning loves to check out of running plays, seems to work just fine for Indy. Unless there is a philosophical change on offense in Green Bay and/or Indy you should not expect a vastly different result from either running game.

 

[Happy Ragnarok]

I don't really see what sets GB's weapons apart from the other elite QBs' teams. I'd put them (at best) on par with Indy's, NE's, NO's, and Dallas's. Maybe slightly ahead of Schaub's, though of course, GB has nothing in the same universe as Andre.

I'm really not quite sure what's setting Rodgers in front of those guys on the hype train this summer. His recent improvement curve has been impressive, but I see no reason to assume it'll continue in that direction. I'm certainly not going to predict 5000/40 for him, which is about where he'd need to get to prove to be in a tier of his own.

I think the value among these guys is with Romo/Schaub, who are going considerably after Rodgers, and I feel are pretty good bets to put together similar seasons.

 

[Brady Gaga]

I have it as one tier of 7.

Rodgers - No concerns

Brady - highest upside now healthy and with Moss

Manning - only concern is sitting during fantasy playoffs

Rivers - like Floyd and Naanee enough to keep him here

Romo - not liking his OL

Schaub - just down here b/c of injury history

Brees - would've been at the top of this list but on Madden cover

Really? I'm not concerned at all.
