Several of the best QBs ever are still in the NFL - our [ar], Drew Brees, Tom Brady, and Peyton Manning. But Manning's had a very long career and only one ring. If [ar] plays as long as Manning and only produces one ring, he'd be a letdown. |

It sure isn't any shocker that some of the all time best quarterbacks are still actively playing in this massively offensive rule driven league, now is it?
LET THEM PLAY!! |

LET THEM PLAY!! That's true. I sincerely doubt Tom Brady or everyone's favorite Peyton Manning would be as good if they played in the Bart Starr era. Brett Favre would be the same. Ben Rothlisburger would be the same. Those two guys are the two toughest QBs today. Brees would be the same because even [ar] admits that Brees' work ethic is the top of the top. |

for me, this quote from Rodgers is golden "I've had plenty of game-winning drives in the second and third quarters."
Personally, I could use less stress in the forth after an era of #4 in the wee hours of the morning, especially after the last 2 weeks of nail biters.
but to put it into perspective maybe, we saw the backup take the field and literally trip over himself at the goal line, I would personally like to see the D wrap up games and the Offense score +30 a game. That way I could relax and enjoy the game, but as a Packers fan for the last 30 years has taught me, that probably will never happen. |
You will find Packers fans all across the world |

Brees would be the same because even [ar] admits that Brees' work ethic is the top of the top. I think if Brett Favre started playing 10-12 years later, he'd be unanimously considered the best quarterback off all time. He took major risks and in this league now, those risks are heavily rewarded. My lord, can you imagine that?? I think 50 TD's would damn near be the norm for him, especially with pass happy McCarthy. |

Didn't think of that. That's probably true. |

Thanks RP.
It is a good, if somewhat disturbing, read.

Leaving Rodgers comeback chances against tougher competition overall. |

Leaving Rodgers comeback chances against tougher competition overall. That's why comebacks are over rated. If you play well to begin with, you don't need to come back. |

Kind of disappointing that Kacsmar spent so much time and effort on that article, without analyzing metrics that put the stats into perspective. How do Rodgers' Q1-3 stats and points scored compare to the rest of the league? How do those stats compare to the Packers' opponents? The ability to take charge when the game is slipping away and drive down the field for a TD is huge, but so is the ability to put the other team out of it early. |

Just being curious i wonder in how many of those losses were the Packers up in the 4th quarter. I could remember at least 3 or 4 in 08. |

Assuming the defense doesn't give up quick scores and the offense can at least get some first downs to burn time off the clock. There've been too many heart attack games where we HAVE been ahead by 2+ scores going into the fourth for a lifetime the last few years. |

The comeback stat for a QB... the biggest pile of dung in sports.
Example.. I am sure the Cutler gets a win for yesterday in terms of this vaulted stat.. but really the defenses pick six saved their ass. Sure, Cutler helped set up the game winner.. but without the pick six.. the Bears offense was in trouble.
Media hype tool.. the variable of a football game are too vast to lay it all on this stat.

I think when there's enough will and aggression, there's no shortage of talent either.  |
