    For a 1st year starter, Rodgers stats are pretty FN Good

    Yea, the W & L column needs work; but he has by far exceeded my expectations this year. A 2:1 TD to INT ratio is great. 60+ comp. %; Could hit 4000 yards this season, and catching on to the scheme.
    Can't quite get the 4th Quarter comeback thing going yet; but I think that will come with more experience. Still Looking at primary WR too long and not pump-faking much yet.

    He is showing some Freakish Promise.
    HE WILL BE A TRULY ELITE QB IN THE NFL.
    Now if we had a decent run game and a DC that wasn't so predictable; I think we may be onto something.

    KEEP HOPE ALIVE FOR PLAYOFFS THIS SEASON... NOT OVER YET!

    I tend to agree. It's not a given that he becomes a star in this league, but I think he has a chance.

      He has not been anointed with Partial's "It" factor, therefore he is nothing but massive fail in a bucket. Otherwise I would think he's done better than I thought he would and is off to a solid start to his career.

        He has a shot at being something other than average but nothing is a given in the NFL. A year of experience at starter and Jennings being on the roster will help. He has played better than what I expected this year.

          He's doing better than Peyton Manning was his rookie year, though he has a much better team. Just figured I'd throw that in since im the local Tennessee homer.

            Warner, Romo and Brees will likely represent the NFC in Hawaii this year. Rodgers will likely be the alternate. He's 4th in the NFC in yards, tied with Romo for 3rd in TD's, 4th in completion percentage, and 5th in QB rating - just shy of the Bucs' Garcia. He's tied for 8th best with 11 INT's, but each QB I named as being the Pro Bowl representatives have thrown more. He's been one of the best in the NFL on 3rd down - that last game is a rare exception for this team this season. He leads the best red zone offense in the league.

            Yeah, I'd say he's pretty good.

              I'd agree that he's good this year. But I have my doubts about the Pro Bowl. That game seems to be reserved for the guys who did well LAST year. I think he makes it to Hawaii NEXT year.

                When the defense gets better it will make the offense look better by giving them more chances and putting them in more favorable situations. Rodgers is also starting his first year and is very young.

                Assuming Ted does something to shore up the defense, a little better health luck on the defensive side of the ball and Rodgers coming back a stronger, more prepared QB I think we can see a lot more production out of Rodgers and he already has a very high starting point.

                I would not be suprised if Rodgers puts up legit top 5 QB numbers next year rather than the legit top 10 numbers that he's putting up this year.

                  true but when the o gets better and can put long drives together, rather than trying to win with big plays, the d won't get over-worked and taken advantage of.

                    That's just crazy talk. Sure, statistically he is better, but look at the talent that Manning team had? Manning was a 1st overall pick because his team stunk.

                    Everybody knew Manning was going to be very good his first year. He took that team to a 13-3 record his second year.

                    As for A-Rod, he's playing average right now. He has a ton of talent around him, so I'm not sure how much better he can, because he'll probably never have more offensive talent around him that he does now (two top 20 receivers imo, a borderline pro-bowler at TE, etc).

                    He has the arm and the athleticism to be very good. Hopefully he starts using the whole field, stays healthy, improves his accuracy, and most importantly gains the faith of the coach to truly open up the offense and go back to the spread we were running last year.

                      That third down stat is inaccurate. The Packers are the worst team in the NFL in 3rd and long.

                        this isn't his rookie year! It is his fourth! Big difference being thrown to the wolves 1st year and getting to wait 3 years..

                          He is actually comparable to him this years stats wise.
                          Rodgers 63.6% 22TD 11 INT 3192yrds 7.4 avg 92.1 rating

                          Manning 64.4% 22TD 12 INT 3225yrds 6.8 avg 88.8 rating

                            Packers are 11th in the NFL in 3rd down conversion (42.5%). The Jets are two spots back at 41.6%. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

                            I suppose you'll tell me the stats are skewed by the OL and Ryan Grant's awesome ability to convert 3rd and short situations.

                              Perhaps misleading would have been a better word choice than inaccurate.

                              If they're so good on 3rd down, then why are they putting up a mere 20.1 points per game offensively? I'm sure they're very good at the 3rd and 3 or less because they have so many options. A-Rod can boot leg and run for it, they can do a screen, a slant, etc.

                              For the past several broadcasts, the announcers have stated how they are the worst in the league at 3rd and long. Whether that means 3rd and 5 or longer, I know not. I would believe this though, because they run a very plain jane offense and don't score a lot of points.

                              I could not care less how the Jets do.
