Jim Rome's burn on Aaron Rodgers

Here is the summary, paraphrasing as best as I can:

Now that Rodgers has his first playoff win people are talking about him as if he has some monkey on his back. UH WHAT, monkey. The guy is a 3rd year starter. Quit making it seem like he is a 10 year starter who gets to the playoffs every year only to fizzle out and lose. In his first start the guy threw for over 400 yards and accounted for 5 TDs. It's not his fault he lost that game. I've been on his bandwagon since day 1. The guy is 27 entering his prime and now that he may have a running game in James Starks he could be even more dangerous then he is now. Look out NFL.

Yeah I saw it too. I love the respect that Rodgers gets, especially since the end of the game last night.

Just gotta stay focused and keep winning!

He just said what many people here have said multible times.

However, it is good because Jim has a bigger audience.

I haven't cared for the Cowherd-esque opinion that since he hasn't won the SB yet as a 3rd year starter he's a putz, but at the same time if you listen to ESPN today, you'd swear that Aaron Rodgers is everyone's first born.

How can you tell a talking head is wrong, his TelePrompTer is moving.

I want to go out like my Grandpa did. Peacefully in his sleep.
Not screaming in terror like his passengers.

It's funny because he gets credit for being a "winning" playoff quarterback now but if Vick throws for a TD on that play instead of an INT he is shunned, without actually doing anything differently in the game.

The idea of quarterback wins belongs in the stone age.

Too bad Colin was "Sick" and couldn't appear on SN today. I wanted to hear what he had to say. Jim's final burn sums up exactly how I felt about Cowherds criticism towards Rodgers.

This also kills skip bayless' hate on Aaron as well.

Excellent point.

Aaron Rodgers post game comments are testament to the fact that no one player wins the game by himself.

If anything, our defense got a monkey off their back by

a) Completely trouncing last years embarassing performance at that stage
b) Coming through in the clutch

Zero2Cool is my captain.

Yup agreed but that's the NFL, the QB gets too much credit and too much blame, will never change.
