See i don't get why you guys are comparing rodger's and favre's comeback wins. Rodgers has played one season that isn't fair. You really should be comparing him to someone like matt ryan or joe flacco. I guarantee matt ryan has at most 2 comeback wins from the 4 minute mark, and im pretty sure they were elam field goals. I believe they were pretty long ones too. The differences are elam made his field goals crosby didn't. My point is how many comeback wins do you expect from a 1 year starter who's defense cant get a stop with the game on the line. And a kicker who cant make a field goal with the game on the line.

First of all I think tallying comebacks for QB's is a croc in a team sport. If the big play on a comeback drive is a 50 yard run on a draw the QB gets credit for a comeback? When that WR makes an unbelievable catch in the clutch on what was not a great throw by Eli Manning HE gets the credit?

Secondly, there are several dynamics that plays into a comeback that amounts to the mountain that has to be climbed. Is it Mt. Everest or a foothill?

These dynamics include are you home or away, do you need a TD or a FG to win, who has the momentum, time left on the clock, distance, number of timeouts, weather conditions, and, coaching decisions.

So just looking at the number of times a team has the ball last and does or does not win does NOT get to the crux of the real question which is "can Arod lead the team from behind?"

I know what I saw and as far as I am concerned there is no question, given reasonable circumstances, he can do it.

I saw him throw big-time bombs to Driver (59 yards) in the Houston game to get us THERE (position to win) and saw him make clutch throws late to Driver in the Vikes game and Jones in the Bears game for key first downs. McCarthy shut it down after that both times. He threw a perfect strike late in the Titans game only to see the official not make the right call.

You know they went into last year with the thought all the other phases needed to step up and give our first year starter less pressure and less on his shoulders and it ended up with him carrying them on his back.

Of course non of that counts when your just putting numbers up and taking nothing, 0, nada, into consideration.

What does that stat REALLY say anyhow?

When he's in a hostile envirnment like Minnesota, getting his butt pounded by their DL, brings them down inside the 40, his coach shuts him down, and the FG kicker doesn't get it done, I'm asking, what does that stat really say anyhow?

There were 2 games where missed field goals were the culprit. What about the 6 others?

I want to know that if there is 3:00 or so left in the game and we have the ball, no matter whats happened prior in the game, that my QB has a fighting chance to lead us to victory. It's the same thing as a Basketball player hitting a shot at the buzzer. Some people rise up and some people fold.
