The thing about Rodgers that I notice when watching him for these past 15 games or so is just how EASY he makes it seem. When Brady or Manning had their special years in '07 and '04 respectively it felt special, it felt like they were just at the apex of their careers with playmakers around them who were also at their apex. Rodgers it doesn't even feel like that, it just feels flick of the wrist effortless....
He really hasn't had to face any good Ds this year besides the Bears and it was earlier in the year when they were struggling a little so hopefully we see if some of the better NFC defenses can challenge him rest of the year and the playoffs but it seems like he really has no peers right now as good as guys like Brady and Brees are.
The fact the Packers have tons of playmakers on offense helps that. Also, I think the fact that they don't a household name at RB helps since there is never any pressure to run the ball more, which would obviously be counter intuitive for them with their passing game.
Good find Fishhead. Amazing statistic.
They mentioned it on the MNF pregame.......................
Steve Dilfer also rattled off about eight things you would like in your QB, and stated that right now Rodgers is the best in the league at ALL of them.
Steve Young then stated that nobody in the history of the game has played the QB position over the last 12 games better than Rodgers has.............
ALL OF THIS LEADS ME TO BELIEVE WE MAY SAY A LITTLE SLUMP ON THE HORIZON FOR AARON.............as well as the Packers.
You know what else is friggin rediculous, that Rodgers has 27 TD's and Green Bay has 3 rushing TD's all year. He's a great QB, but he is the BEST fantasy QB. I've never seen a team line up consistently with 5 wides in the shotgun on 1st 2nd and 3rd and goal.
He is great in the system of today. Not his fault, but the rule changes for the defenses leave no mercy anymore. The NFL has fallen less and less with all the changes.
