Rodgers 2020 MVP campaign!

[texaspackerbacker]

And just so I don't get accused of criticizing Rodgers (a mortal sin to some) he does something Brady would never do. How many 4th and 3 (or 5 or 7) have we seen Rodgers take the top off the defense for a 50+ yard TD with game on the line. He is the only QB I have ever seen who is confident enough to throw deep in those settings instead of settling for a first down where failure means game is over.

It seems like I've heard a lot of criticism of that over the years - since it is risky and many times doesn't work. The criticism, though, I think was mostly directed at McCarthy.

I could not care less who wins MVP, All-Pro or any other such award.
Awards such as that stopped having much meaning to me many years ago.

I could care less, but not a lot less, as I hardly care now.

I will say I've always thought that the number-of-championships part is way, way overrated. At least in the NFL and in baseball. Maybe in the NBA, where you've only got five guys on the floor, one person can make more of a difference. But the greatest QB of all time could not win a SB with a bunch of high schoolers.

Yup

Hey you leave Dan Marino out of this.

I'd go Mahommes/Rodgers followed by Wilson and then a bunch of guys still in the hunt right now.

Mahommes does it with a little more raw physical arm and leg talent and Rodgers does it by bringing out the best in the 11 guys he works with a little better. Wilson is kind of a cross. All three playing really good football.

I think we all know there's a lot to football, a lot to QB play and a lot to winning, and there are other guys who are great players and in the true conversation. But this is a world where people trust stats more than their eyes or their wisdom.

Rodgers leading the league in touchdowns. Wilson has a chance to match him but id say thats unlikely as Philly is an awful matchup for them. Wilson has completion percentage and Mahommes the fewest interceptions. So all three, statistically, making a case.


I'm a bigger fan of Rodgers than the other guys. I've watched his evolution as a leader, person and football player, so I hope Rodgers puts up numbers that give him one more MVP.

[RashanGary]

Mahommes situation is simplified. He has Tyreek Hill, a do it all player with generational deep ability. A probable HOfer. He has kelce, a do it all TE whos a HOF possession receiver. And then he has an excellent OL and a bunch of upper tier, KC Chief HOF level guys to boot.

It's a little easier to look good with two HOFers to toss the rock to.


Wilson and Rodgers both doing it with various handicaps compared to Mahommes. I give AR the edge because he's doing it a little more consistently than Wilson and with a little less to work with than Mahommes.

[texaspackerbacker]

Rodgers makes throws that probably nobody other than Mahomes could make. He also reads defenses like nobody else now or maybe in history. Assuming the MVP vote is after the Super Bowl, give it to whichever one of the two beats the other on the field and wins it all.

I may be just a little bit biased hahahaha, but Rodgers is still the better of the two, though. He does it with slightly lesser players around him than Mahomes has, and while Mahomes is pretty good at being careful and not throwing picks, he is not quote on Rodgers' level in that respect.

[smuggler]

The MVP vote is at the conclusion of the regular season, since it is strictly a regular season award. At this point, I would give the edge to ARod because the stats are close (Rodgers slightly ahead in TDs and passer rating, Mahomes in INTs and total yards), but Rodgers was missing Adams and Lazard (hah) for a bunch of time this season and Tyreek Hill is kind of a cheat code for Mahomes. Really, he's just the milk chocolate version of Rodgers, so it's hard to cheer against Mahomes. I think, by season's end, Mahomes will probably have it because he is going to have a better record and the Chiefs are going to face easier competition down the stretch which will help him get a statistical edge in the last five weeks of the season.

Russ is pretty much out of it at this point. He's lost his lead in TD passes to Rodgers and all the other numbers don't look nearly as good without that TD margin.

Aaron Rodgers is 37 today.

[Upnorth]

I justvappreciate how the whole team is trying to help him out. The receivers getting open. The running backs for play action. The o lines amazing blocking. But most of all the d for keeping the other team in no matter what kind of lead we have built. Very under appreciated comtribution I think.

[MadtownPacker]

Aaron Rodgers is 37 today.

If he hasn’t he should make peace with his family.

[smuggler]

They'll probably need to wait until he's retired, Mad, since coattailing his fortune and fame seemed to be the issue.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Aaron Rodgers is 37 today.

And I was born the very next day, the third of December, in the year of Moses.

If not for biological biases, I’d be a greybeard shutdown corner today for the New England Patriots. Alvarez personally told me that I was too short and too pale to play cornerback for the Wisconsin Badgers.

No wonder I am so fond of NFL oddities. Taylor Rapp. Marquette King. Younghoe Koo. #30 of the Broncos.

Btw, I haven’t celebrated my own birthday since I turned 27. All the day does is remind me that I am past my prime. 40 on the horizon, and I am still flipping burgers for the minimum wage. Still living a wretched life devoid of marriage.

Thanks, Alvarez.

[texaspackerbacker]

I thought you were already beyond 40 hahahahaha. Happy Birthday even though you don't celebrate it. I can believe still flipping burgers, but the minimum wage part I don't buy. They give raises every 6-12 months to anybody who isn't a total fuck up - and if that's you, you wouldn't have lasted this long on the job. I say again, there are millions - literally - of slim pretty Filipinas who would absolutely love to marry you and be devoted to you for life.

[hoosier]

I think I need to disinfect my screen.
