What do you think the score of that game would have been had the Pats been given 5 turnovers?

    Saying Brady is better is not an insult to Rodgers. I think he's the second best QB in the league. With the game on the line, in the biggest stage, with everything on the line, I would be lying if I said I want Rodgers over Brady. Brady won four superbowls with game winning drives, would have 6 if not for a few plays, has been to 9 AFC championship games (almost every year), and lets not forget he's 37. Brady >> Rodgers.
    You'd want a 37 year old QB over a QB with Rodgers' skill set in his prime in 2015? Nobody is saying Brady isn't great but physically right now going forward Rodgers is a better QB than Brady.

    When your comparing Aaron Rodgers to Tom Brady and then venture into the going forward thingy:

    You cannot ignore Rodger's poor performance in the post season after 2010-11. Aaron Rodgers hasn't looked good more so great since the last Green Bay Packer Super Bowl win. What has transpired in your Packer world that contradicts that fact?

    Tom 'Terrific' Brady was 'still terrific' yesterday. That fact bodes better for Tom Brady in the future than Aaron Rodgers recent past since 2010-11. Specifically and attempting to discuss Aaron Rodgers and greatness doesn't make sense based on his NFL resume to date.

    Now maybe six seasons from now we can legitimately discuss Aaron Rodgers in such glowing terms? I'm not optimistic we'll have enough to really get there. I'm really poor with blind faith.

    Here's an article that focuses on Tom Brady and other NFL QB's and greatness and Aaron Rodgers isn't in the conversation.

    Fourth Super Bowl win for Brady will only spark more debate on game’s best-ever QB

    As of 2/2/15, Brady is better than Rodgers all time and right now, yes. I have no idea if Brady will hit a wall next year. Everyone wants to talk about Rodgers not being healthy enough to scramble against Seattle, but Brady dropped 28 on Seattle without much scrambling around either. When Rodgers is 37 I doubt he's going to be running away from defenders and extending plays the way he is now. Brady at 31 and Brady at 37 are both better players than Rodgers. Brady at 38? who knows... I see no reason why the Pats aren't right back in superbowl number 7 w/ Brady next season.

    People want to talk about how great Rodgers was playing hurt against Dallas (and he was) and yet those same people want to point to that as a reason why he didn't play good against Seattle. He could have been the difference in that game and he wasn't. He had at least 2/3 drives to end the game with a few first downs. If Brady was Qbing the packers that fourth quarter I truly believe the packers win. Thats the difference. Its not like plays weren't there. 3rd and 6 he throws a low pass to Cobb and misses the first down by less than a yard....

    Rodgers is great. He's already top ten in my book, he's just not better than Tom Brady.

    I would want Rodgers during the regular season and Brady in the post season. Brady is a much better clutch qb.
