    Favre, Aikman, Brady, Montana, Brees, Rodgers, Rothlisberger. . . . These guys didn't win their championships in their mid 30's. There is something to being the best that coincides with being young and strong. Most championship QB's are between 25 and 30 it seems. AR is in his prime. The others aren't. Best careers, AR isn't even in the conversation. Best today. He sure as fuck is. I could come up with a strong argument for him being the best, but there would be holes in it and we'd go round and round with no resolution. Perception gives past accomplishments too much weight in current reality. But, perception is not reality and often times doesn't line up with results. That could be what's happening here.

    There was a time people said the Packers have been young the last 3 years, they've been pinching pennies the last 3 years. It is what has been and what will be. Past = future. Now we know the Packers are near the middle of hte league in age and near the top of the league in salary and their reigning champs. Past did not = future. And there were many people who saw this coming because they had this magic little thing I call perspective. It's a hard thing to grasp. Some can't and never will, but it's there and despite those who throw their hands in the air and say there is no way to predict the future with decent accuracy, there are those who do it every day. They do it with context and perspective beyond common thought. They're leaders, visionaries.

    Common perception says brady is better today. It might not be reality. And those who throw their hands up in the air, site past, use facts. . . . . There is something to intuition and feel. Those with it can get over on those without it.

    My evidence is more in patterns and non linear projections. Those who only see things linear, only see the past, can't see the hints toward what's to come. . . They'll have their arguements and they'll always win them because the flock of regulars will be there to pat their backs. But the visionaries will be right over time and when it happens, everyone will pretend they saw it all along. That's life.

    Imagination, intuition, vision, faith. They're real. You can't touch them, can't prove them, but they often times line up with the energy of the world. Maybe it's the god's flow, natures flow, just the flow of what is. . . . But there is something to what cannot be touched that has a funny way of coinciding with what's to come. Just gotta let go to feel it.
    Yes, because you're a true visonary. You're the best.

A little good-natured ribbing has to accompany this sort of thing, we can't be that uptight around here. There are things that Partial (or really, anybody) was wrong about that probably shouldn't be dredged up in order to make an example, but things of the order "you know that you were proved wrong when we WON THE SUPERBOWL" are generally in good taste.

      The whole labor mess has really cast a pall over this offseason, which should have been much more fun for Packer fans than it has been so far.
      YEa, that sums it up. For my embarrassing prediction I fall back on saying that Allen Babre would beat out college last year. I was so close except the guy sucked. I would rather be wrong more in line with a guy turning into a stud and benefitting my team though.

        Don't feel too bad about it. We all have our Atlas Herrion moments! (He was my failed prediction.)

          At least he's not a fence sitter. I liked having personalities like that in my team. Having a bunch of "yes" people is certainly not conducive to growth.

            Mr. Brady has been having trouble winning his 15th playoff game. I don't think he is getting the same level of video coaching he was earlier in his career.

              So I come back to this nuthouse and find: Madtown is an admin, Partial is back and so is the blue dog.

              Does this mean they are all the same person? Or is the apocalypse arriving sooner than the Mayans thought?

                Regular Season Passer Rating (Career):

                Rodgers 98.4 vs. Rivers 97.2

                This is what Pro Football Reference has, at any rate. It was mentioned several times last season, once he passed a certain minimum, that he was now the highest rated passer in history.

                  Most Mayanist scholars today believe the so-called Mayan apocalypse (the end of the world in 2012) is really just a figment of the modern imagination. We moderns read too much into what is really just the end of a "cycle." Maybe that is true here too. The more things change the more they stay the same.

                    That's pretty much what our Mayan tour guide told us in Belize as well. It's just the end of a cycle and you have to go back to some weird date in like the 1200s to pick up again.

                      End of a cycle? You just start up again the next month, no?

                        This is Mother Nature's menopause they're talking about here though Fritz.

                          Yup, the 12th and 13th centuries were happening times in Mayan history. Everything after that is just a footnote.

                              This might explain the heat wave.

                                Nice post, Lurk! I've been known to get into it a bit with Partial but it is what it is... I might come across as a jerkoff most of the time but I (mostly) mean it in that good-nature, big brother/lil bro ribbing (that can be obnoxious as hell, i know). The tone gets lost with my inability to write. But it's good having Partial back in the mix and I'm looking forward to the coming season at PR. Work will keep me in the background but I still read just about everything!
