Rodgers isn't small by any stretch, but he's not as big as Big Ben. If Rodgers continues to get sacked 30+ times and, worse, gets sacked 50 times... you have to be a little worried about the guy staying healthy. That's a LOT of hits for a QB to take. Peyton and Brady never get injured because they get rid of the ball so quickly, they take about 10-15 sacks a year.

Elway sure did play a long time and he's about the same size as Rodgers. I think it has more to do with the type of player, and the mentality. Some guys can take 40 sacks a year, and still play into their 30's at a high level. And I don't ever remember Brady only being sacked 15 or less times. His line has never been that good.
