Canton and Rodgers

At first I thought this was going to be a garbage article that I wouldn't care about when I saw it on ESPN. It's the start of a series to explain who has a chance from the NFC north to go to the HOF. What I found so amazing was the side by side statistics they put Rodgers up against. Siefert even gives pretty good commentary and reasoning in the article. The only thing I disagree with is that Rodgers inherited a playoff caliber team. With Rodgers, the packers went 4-12, 9-7 and 10-6 (+Super Bowl) if I remember correctly and he had amazing numbers despite the rest of the team not doing well. TT was still rebuilding when Rodgers took over the helm. Honestly, I think TT was still rebuilding when we won the SB. Come to think of it, I don't think TT ever stops rebuilding, so maybe my argument doesn't hold any water.

It's hard to separate a QB from his team, if he's been there his entire career. Steve Young looked like crap with Tampa, so does he deserve to be in the Hall when it's obvious that the 49ers made him great, not the other way around? (I'm joking). Bottom line: Rodgers keeps up with the numbers and the playoff wins for just a couple, three more seasons and he's in.

The Packers have gone 6-10, 11-5, and 10-6 (+ Super Bowl) with Rodgers. 27-21 in the regular season. 4-1 in the playoffs.

11-5? I don't remember that.

11-5? I don't remember that.

Not surprising considering you were drunk in the barn most of the time.

Whether Rodgers is enshrined at Canton will likely depend on his ability to avoid concussions.

Yeah his level of play is right there but he is gonna have to do it for around 5 more years. If he wins another ring in that time it should be for sure.

Or if his new record label takes over and he retires early, with blond highlights.

I get the feeling it's easier to make money as a top NFL quarterback than it is to earn money as a record producer these days... I'm just saying.

What's a record?

I think Rodgers only needs 2 to 4 more years of solid play to get in. If he keeps up his play and gets another ring, I think he's a lock.

But until he does all this Canton talk is a tad premature.

Yep. The reason I pointed out the story wasn't the HOF talk, it was because they compared Rodgers numbers to the likes of Aikman, Young, Marino, Moon. You get to see how his first three years compare to their first three years and it's amazing how hand over fist better he is. They even put his numbers up against Peyton, Brady and Favre and his numbers are still amazing.

[Tarlam!]

This talk is premature. Does Ben Rapistberger get in cause e has some rings? I say, no, he hasn't deserved it yet.Favre goes for his 3 MVPs.

If Rodgers keeps it up, I'm sure he'll do enough, but he's still gotta do it.
