Raider Nation
Devil's Advocate
Feel free to agree, disagree, mock me, whatever. My personal football viewing goes back to Bradshaw, Staubach, Fouts of the 70's era, so I can't speak to Johnny U. or some of the earlier greats, other than what NFL Films and Pro Football Reference tells me.
We always hear about QBs "playing at a high level", right? Well I would argue that Rodgers' highest level is superior to the highest level of any other QB. His passer ratings, in particular have been insane. This is the stat which was eye-opening to me.
Career regular season:
Rodgers has 216 TDs and 55 INTs, 106.4 QB rating.
Peyton Manning has 521 TDs and 228 INTs, 97.7 QB rating.
Rodgers is nearly as consistent in the post-season. 6-4 record, 19 TDs, 5 INTs, 103.1 QB rating.
- His 106.4 career passer rating is the highest of all-time.
- His 1.7 interception percentage is the best ever.
- No QB reached 200 TD passes faster.
- He's averaged 34 TDs per full season.
He makes everything look effortless in a game which requires great effort. Oh, he also has over 1,700 yards rushing.
This isn't meant as disrespect to the other great QBs who have multiple rings. I'm just saying that if my life depended on a team winning one game, and the other 10 players on offense were all of equal ability, I'm taking Rodgers. And I wouldn't even have to think about it for very long. He is unbelievably great and efficient.
I'm just glad the Raiders took Fabian Washington one pick before Green Bay took Rodgers.
