Well, I trust Arod more than I ever trusted Bert.

The confidence level with ARod is much higer than that with Bert. He plays within the game plan and is master of said.Comment

Rodgers is good"There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great. But quite frankly, most of the people that are commenting on it don't know anything about what they are talking about."--Ted ThompsonComment

That's what's so amazing with him. Good Lord, get a great line that can give him time and open holes for the running game and back-to-back-to-back is possible. Looks like we have our own Montana to Young transition.Originally posted by Fritz View PostComment

This is cool: Pick Six: Rodgers’ game best in playoff history?
Be sure to check out the vid: http://blogs.nfl.com/2011/01/16/pick...ayoff-history/Aaron Rodgers is pretty good. Rodgers became the first quarterback in NFL history with over a 120 passer rating in his first two playoff starts last week. He did it for a third consecutive time against the Falcons on Saturday night, leading the Packers to a spot in the NFC Championship Game.
But where does his performance stack up in playoff history? Well, let’s narrow that down a bit. How about where does Rodgers’ outing (non-Super Bowl) rank among some of the best quarterback performances in the playoffs since 2000? Is there enough qualifiers there?
Let’s count it down. Surprisingly, former Browns QB Kelly Holcomb (vs. the Steelers in 2002) and ex-Giants QB Kerry Collins were both in consideration, but both fell just short.
Note: The years are done according to NFL season, not calendar year.
6. Chad Pennington vs. Colts, 2002 wild-card game: Pennington is one of the most maligned quarterbacks in recent memory. But he will be able to tell his grandchildren that he once outdueled Peyton Manning, going 19-for-25 with 222 yards and three touchdowns in a 41-0 win over the Colts.
5. Peyton Manning vs. Broncos, 2003 AFC Wild Card Game: Manning finally found his stride, going 22-for-26 for 377 yards and five touchdowns in the Colts’ 41-10 triumph. If you ever need a quarterback to beat an overmatched AFC West team in the playoffs, Manning has proven to be your man. The rest of the time in the playoffs, he’s about as consistent as Collins.
4. Kurt Warner vs. Eagles, 2008 NFC Championship Game: Warner led the Cardinals to their first Super Bowl appearance by completing 21 of 28 passes for 279 yards and four touchdowns. The Cardinals hung on to beat the Eagles, 32-25, on Warner’s 8-yard touchdown pass to RB Tim Hightower.If you ever want to judge Warner’s impact, look at what happened to St. Louis and Arizona after he left.
3. Tom Brady vs. Jaguars, 2007 AFC Divisional Playoff Game: The Patriots were perfect during the regular season, and Brady was nearly perfect in knocking off the Jaguars. He went 26-of-28 for 262 yards and three touchdowns in the Patriots’ 31-20 win.
2. Rodgers vs. Falcons, 2010 NFC Divisional Playoff Game: Rodgers has put the notion to rest that he is merely a fantasy enthusiasts dream. The Packers have scored 114 points in Rodgers’ three playoff games. Rodgers finished 31-of-36 for 366 yards and three touchdowns. Rodgers even ran for a touchdown, too.
1. Warner vs. Packers, 2009 NFC Wild Card Game: If there was ever a game where you thought a team was going to score every time it touched the ball, this was it. Warner competed 29 of 33 passes for 379 yards and five touchdowns. That’s right, more touchdowns than incompletions. And if the Cardinals’ defense had not won the game with a fumble return for a touchdown, Warner likely would have padded his stats. Warner’s 154.1 passer rating was the second-highest in playoff history.Comment

I think #5 on this list has been screwed. I ran those stats through the QB calculator and he was perfect that game.Comment

After the Giants game JH posted that it was the best game Arod ever played and I commented that it wasn't a playoff game...or the conversation went something like that. This was possibly the best game I have ever seen a QB play period. Any QB, any game. Just sick!!The only time success comes before work is in the dictionary -- Vince LombardiComment

I'd say Bert and Aaron are about even in terms of pocket awareness and elusiveness. They just do it differently. Bert wasn't one to typically run outside the pocket and create time with his feet, he'd just take a step or two while the defender was wrapping up air yet would remain in the "pocket" (a term I use very, very loosely in many cases). Rodgers will make you chase him all over the field before embarrasing you. Maybe I give an edge to Rodgers for wearing out bigger defensive linemen with is mobility, but Favre could certainly make a guy miss.Originally posted by Fritz View PostChuck Norris doesn't cut his grass, he just stares at it and dares it to growComment

It's hard to disagree with that. It seems that MM came to the same conclusions after NE as you did. The results have been nothing short of spectacular.Originally posted by JustinHarrell View Post
It must be said though that whatever the gameplan, Rodgers simply was brilliant against ATL. Some of those moves avoiding tacklers were incredible. Tecmo-Bowl style...Comment
