Rodgers' TD to Garrett Wilson was....

[Jetsfan80]

The first TD in his career to a WR drafted in the 1st round.

The Packers are a criminally overrated franchise.

So many wild stats from last night but that might be the craziest

30 years of HOF level QB'ing hides a LOT of warts

[slimjasi]

On the other hand, they traded for Favre, drafted Rodgers, and now have drafted Love . . .

And yet have only 2 rings to show for in those 32 years of elite/high end QB play.  The Giants, for one, have double that over a 38 year period with Phil Simms, Jeff Hostetler, and that big dummy Eli Manning QBing them, lol.

Also let's not be too quick to anoint Jordan Love just yet.

Is that true? That can't be true. I know it is true but hot damn.

479 TDs over 20 years, all to non-1st rounder receivers.  # 480 finally does it.

Criminally?  Misdemeanor or felony?

Double felony.

This is an INSANE stat. Rodgers has almost 500 touchdown passes. What!

I remember reading Rodgers really wanted them to trade up for Justin Jefferson. They traded up in the first, but for Jordan love not Justin Jefferson lol.  Sure that had to really piss off rodgers, especially after they let Adams go.

Let’s not act like the Packers left the cupboard bare - this point is kind of becoming trope. They consistently found and developed excellent receivers later in the draft. Driver, Jennings, Nelson, Cobb, Adams, and so on. sh*t, I’d take other positions in the first if I hit on receivers late like they did. 

[Ruby2]

How many years between Santana and Garret???

Unreal how GM's/Franchise can simply exist in a parallel universe outside of the most basic and obvious one.

[JoeNamathsFurCoat]

That throw was a work of art.

Aaron and G5 do look like they need more reps to get in sync though.

Rodgers made Jordy and Cobb.  Cobb did absolutely nothing with his post-Rodgers years.

[Mr. Rogers]

I shared this in another thread, but the only reason this isn't Rodgers first career TD pass to ANY first rounder is thanks to Mercedes Lewis last man standing from the 2006 draft class. Only been in the league 1 less year than Rodgers, and they actually only broke the 1st round streak a few years ago!

Kinda wild to think about. I was only just getting old enough to really follow football around the time these two came into the league. Funny to see Rodgers break this streak for the Jets some 20 years later

How many rings do we have over that period? What’s our W/L vs theirs over that period?

Just because the Packers are a significantly better franchise than us (low bar to clear) doesn't mean they aren't overrated.

This always amazed me.  Here is GB's history of first round picks while they had Rodgers:

Year	Pick	Player	Position
2005	24	Aaron Rodgers MVP	Quarterback
2006	5	A. J. Hawk	Linebacker
2007	16	Justin Harrell	Defensive tackle
2008	No pick
2009	9	B. J. Raji	Defensive tackle
	26	Clay Matthews III	Linebacker
2010	23	Bryan Bulaga	Tackle
2011	32	Derek Sherrod	Tackle
2012	28	Nick Perry	Defensive end
2013	26	Datone Jones	Defensive end
2014	21	Ha Ha Clinton-Dix	Safety
2015	30	Damarious Randall	Safety
2016	27	Kenny Clark	Defensive tackle
2017	No pick
2018	18	Jaire Alexander	Cornerback
2019	12	Rashan Gary	Defensive end
	21	Darnell Savage	Safety
2020	26	Jordan Love	Quarterback
2021	29	Eric Stokes	Cornerback
2022	22	Quay Walker	Linebacker
	28	Devonte Wyatt	Defensive end
2023	13	Lukas Van Ness	Defensive end

Offensive players: Two OTs.  One QB.

Defensive players: 3 DTs, 5 DEs, 3 LBs, 3 Safeties, 2 CBs

Not a single WR, RB, or TE in 18 years.

2 Super Bowl Wins and a pretty great W/L record is better than most franchises have in that period. 

Obtaining two long-serving HOF QB's is pretty neato too.  Most teams don't have any HOF QB's in this period.

No one holds them up with the Pats or Chiefs as the GOAT franchise, but they're solid 2nd tier in terms of winning, if not titles.  Pretty similar to the Broncos and Giants and Bucs who all have multiple over that same period, but aren't in the Chiefs/Pats realm.

I'm glad you took some time out of what must be the busiest Friday of the year to comment. Today has been so busy that guys that usually have dozens of posts a day are seemingly so busy that they can barely find the time to type out a few words about last night's dominant win. Funny how that goes 😂 

[Larz]

This angle is nuts 

 

 

[Larz]

It also beat a first round pick corner

[Barry McCockinner]

I know it's not the point of the thread but to answer the title in another way, 

identical

So, overrated.  Glad we agree.  😎

But wait, I thought the qb makes the wr and not the other way around, duh….

How many of them are considered "excellent" BECAUSE of the QB they got to play with...

That is such a low bar to set.
