Canton and Rodgers

[Pugger]

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.

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.

Maybe one more rape - er, ring - and he's in, much like Terry...

[Joemailman]

Because the Steelers throw more than they used to, Ben will probably get in. When he retires, he'll be at least top 10 in passing yards, and at least top 15 in TD's. Add to that the Super Bowls, and he's in.

[Smeefers]

Something that is going to keep Ben out is the stain on the NFL he's left. The rape, the motorcycle accident, the telling Bradshaw to go fuck himself (in not so many words). When they enshrine someone, they look at everything, not just his raw playing ability. That's the reason Ben has to have more to get in. I also think it's a general consensous that Ben was not the reason the steelers won either super bowl. It was the running game and the defense. There's very little doubt about the impact Rodgers has had on the Packers organization, and the way he handled the Favre saga only helps his chances.

Head, Arm, Ball security, legs, durability, leadership, work ethic. . . . .

There is no QB in the league right now better than Aaron Rodgers. The reason he has a good chance to get in is because he's at the top of the league for at least a year and if he does it for two or three, he gets in on pure dominance.

Except for the legs, one could argue that Peyton beats Rodgers in all the other categories.

Peyton doesn't come close in the head category. Sure, he knows where to throw the ball, but you can fluster him and if you do, he calls his teammates out publicly after the game. Kinda kills team cohesiveness there. I have never seen Rodgers be anything but diplomatic. He plays the press the way he plays his guitar and if you've ever heard him play...

Work Ethic - Manning's middle name.
Durability - Manning hasn't missed any games, Rodgers has and is an ongoing concussion risk
Leadership - I think Rodgers is a great leader, but to have him a clear cut #1 is more than I'd do. Ziggy's right, Manning throws teammates under a bus, but he's gotten better
Arm - Brady, Brees
Legs - Vick, by a mile.

Maybe JH's posts was no QB demonstrated the combination, that I can support. One parameter that's missing is accuracy. I think Rodgers is close to #1 there, too. But this is a discussion about Canton. Rodgers has been a Godsend to a fan base that feared the worst. But Canton? He needs at least 2 league MVPs IMHO plus his numbers.

And heaven forbid if the weapons on offense becomes mediocre.

Like when Finley and Grant were out?

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

Fixed

Freak Out's Mom takes it in the barn???

Neither Brady or Brees has Rodgers' arm.

[3irty1]

If you are looking for an arm better than Rodgers look no further than Matt Stafford. With Russel gone he has to be the strongest arm in the league. Brady? No way. Brady? Maybe.

Touché.
