Is Aaron Rodgers GROSSLY overrated?
http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/...ck-experiment/
I watched the entire GB/Det game and I must say...Rodgers has not gotten better at getting rid of the ball. He's got a lot of Alex Smith in him in that regard. He takes a TON of unnecessary sacks. It's bothersome. He also missed a wide open Jordy Nelson when trying to come back on 4th and 5 with a terrible pass 3 yards behind him in a clean pocket... He's had 1 good playoff run. So has Joe Flacco. Why does everyone think he's the best QB in the NFL? I think he's top 5, certainly. But I also don't understand how Tony Romo is a choker, but Aaron Rodgers is not? I have been grossly unimpressed with Rodgers this year...and in all honesty, the last few postseasons...super meh. I've said this for a few years now, but...I'd take Russell Wilson over Aaron Rodgers and at this point, I don't even think it's close. Also, Rodgers is nowhere near Peyton Manning (obvi) or IN HIS PRIME Tom Brady, let's be honest. |

I like Wilson, I just can't get over the fact that his team is loaded at literally every position.
He's playing great, but I wouldn't be surprised if his play declines if talent leaves the Seahawks over the next few years. |

I think his play, numbers wise (which apparently is really all that matters to CP) will vastly improve, in all honesty

You would really have to be awful to **** up with all of the advantages he has. Historic defense, good coach, Lynch as his running back, Percy Harvin, best home field advantage in the NFL - hell even their punter is good.

Why can't you ****ers talk about football without pushing your agenda. Dorsey is a rather large question mark for the Chiefs right now, but let's not pretend he was the sole reason for whatever issues GB may have with their roster. You just cannot move past Pioli, can you? And comparing Dorsey to Pioli at this point is ****ing stupid. |

They are better than us everywhere offensively except for the RB position, though Lacy is a very good young back, and TE, Kelce gives us the advantage. They are an above average roster offensively and should have more than enough weapons for a top QB like Rodgers to put up a lot of points on a consistent basis. Defensively, they are no worse off than we are and actually have a superior secondary to us. It just seems like the time has passed Capers by. |

There probably isnt one personnel man in the NFL who'd take Wilson over Rodgers, mentality/football IQ wise he's just as good IMO... but the physical talent puts Rodgers over the top.

This is the QB that the consensus of this board used as a prime example of how a QB makes an O-line look good.
Not the other way around. QBs have good Games and Bad games. Nobody was dreaming up this thread after week 2 were they? And No. Rodgers is not the least bot overrated. |
