slimjasi Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 6 minutes ago, DoubleDown said: This is absolutely a fair point. The "how many championships did he win?" factor needs to be applied differently to quarterbacks of different eras like Rodgers, Marino, and Tarkenton. Nothing wrong with that. This is all subjective anyway. Right. I’m in total agreement with the notion that QB is the most important position by far and that you almost definitely need a really good QB to win it all in today’s NFL. But it’s a big leap to go from there to the brain dead ring counting people do in these discussions. These guys all play across different eras in different situations. Could Marino have won a SB if he had the defenses Brady had from 2001-2004? If you took Terrell Davis and that GREAT OL away from Elway and gave them to Favre instead, does Elway still “beat” him in the SB? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one of many factors, and it can't be applied the same way to quarterbacks of different eras. Statistically, Rodgers is one of the best of all time. The lack of multiple Superbowl wins and the largely disappointing playoff results in this modern era of football where quarterbacks are paramount drops him down a tier. But it's not over yet. He will be viewed differently if he wins a Superbowl with the Jets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Namath posting pictures of Jets fans are the bests everywhere. I hate most of what Rodgers puts out in public or away from the field just as much as you probably do, but the guy is a Mt. Rushmore QB. Stink's opinion has nothing to do with anything, and anyone picking up the sword on behalf of Rodgers in this scenario is just wasting their time anyway, 21 hours ago, T0mShane said: c. Is (very likely) going to run for this hills of Malibu after this season, leaving the Jets with a bunch of dead cap charges and no QB. When Rodgers gives us our first winning season in 15 years and has us excited about Jets football in December and January, I better not see any joy from you. Not even the weird half lip thing you do when trying to pick up girls in Bridgeport at 1am. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The biggest knock on Rodgers is probably his poor NFC title game record: https://www.statmuse.com/nfl/ask/aaron-rodgers-record-in-nfc-championship-games By my count, in 3 of those games he was anywhere from good to very good statistically, but clearly not good enough to live up to his billing. And I also always think about that loss to the Giants in 2011 after going 15-1. That was a bad one. He’s definitely had some playoff stinkers (although he’s also had some awesome performances, like the wild game against Dallas). It’s been a mixed bag, but I think this is where guys like Brady and Montana lap him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While we’re at it, so does Mark Sanchez. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having watched all of Rodgers and Brady's playoff games in real-time, I felt like this was a controversial take when I first read it. Just did some research and it backs my claim. I remember Rodgers playing very well in a lot of playoff games and putting his team in positions to win while the rest of the team and coaching consistently let him down. Conversely, I remember a lot of games where Brady didn't play great but his team and his coaching allowed them to stay in the game enough for him to make a few clutch plays to win it. Brady also had top 10 defenses every single year that he was in the playoffs; Rodgers had top 10 defenses twice and won the SB in the lone year that he had a top 5 defense. You're right that it's a mixed bag - both of them are all time greats who have a lot of postseason games under their belts so obviously there's good and bad. I just disagree that Brady lapped him in terms of their individual play, and the below numbers on a per attempt or per completion basis bear that out. *I didn't include Montana in this because (1) I never saw him play as he was a bit before my time; (2) the game was entirely different back then - defenses and running games ruled the day, and (3) he played for essentially the innovator of NFL passing offenses from the 80's till now, and got to test drive the offense when the rest of the league didn't even know what they were looking at. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can hate the Rodgers trade. You can hate the guy Rodgers is outside of football. You can hate the football player Rodgers was in 2023 (all 4 plays of it.) But when someone starts claiming he isn't one of the best of all time because of those points, it's idiocy. His stats speak for themselves so when people start saying he's isn't one of the best and all statistical signs points to that he was, it's easy to call bullsh*t. He even has a SB victory to his credit just like Trent Dilfer. Are they in the same level. I hated Dan Marino but if he ever got traded to the Jets, I wouldn't start saying his career sucked.

He's played well enough to win in the majority of his playoff appearances. Prior to him joining the Jets, were you of the opinion that he wasn't an all time prolific passer? Or say prior to 2020 which is when people really starting hating him for non football reasons? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Thornburgh Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 6 hours ago, DoubleDown said: I mean he's not really wrong. In the context of a "greatest quarterbacks of all time" conversation, Superbowl wins absolutely matter. And Aaron Rodgers only having 1 is certainly a negative against him. If he had multiple wins, he's probably in the top 5. Instead, he's hovering somewhere around the #10 spot. It matters but Schlereth is being a douche acting like it’s the end all be all. His boy Elway didn’t win anything until he was 37 and had Terrell Davis who at the time was arguably the best player in football Schlereth can’t get clicks unless he’s trolling jets fans. ESPN let him go right? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on how he plays - does Rodgers actually “take” the Jets to the SB or is he along for the ride? I mentioned in my other post that Rogers has a very similar playoff resume to Peyton Manning. The big difference between them right now is that a washed up Manning got carried to a second SB ring by an elite defense in his last season. Let’s say that scenario plays out with Rodgers (we can only dream) - does that appreciably change his standing in your eyes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think winning a ring adds value even if you weren’t at your best, especially when (in the case of Manning) there were seasons where you were the MVP and “should” have won it but came up short. Like, for all the greatness of his ‘05, ‘09 and ‘13 seasons failing in big spots he was due a “lucky” run in 2015. The dirty little secret is that between Manning, Mahomes, Brady and Rodgers none of them ever actually won a ring without a good defense and all had some of their best offensive seasons end in failure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
