cosmo Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Was just looking at the year end stats and I'm just amazed how great Rodgers was this year. You hear more about Manning, Brady and Brees it seems like but I think its pretty clear cut that Rodgers is the best QB right now. Not sure if this has ever happened before but Rodgers led the league in QB rating (108.0) and also led the league in sacks (51!). This means that behind one of the worst pass blocking lines, Rodgers still managed to be the league's most efficient QB. He had a better completion % than Brees and Brady, threw fewer INTs than Brees and Manning and threw for more TDs than Brady and Manning despite having fewer attempts. Looking at where he was drafted gives me hope about the Bills possibly getting a legit QB in this years draft. Obviously its ridiculous to think they'll get someone as good as Rodgers but hey 23 teams passed him up so even though scouts are saying this is a very weak QB class, ya never know.
26CornerBlitz Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Best in the business three years running IMO...Has the whole package.
RyanC883 Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 I like the optimistic outlook for the Bills you present. I think he's been the best for a few years. Perhaps someone like Nassib turns out to be a quality get!
VirginiaMike Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Rodgers was a great find for the Packers -- and he was given time to develop. He's more mobile than any of the 3 you mentioned and works with no running game, at least the past two years. Of course, I'd take any of them for the Bills.
BillsFan130 Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 brady and manning in my opinion are still the best
Mr. WEO Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 If he was so good then why did 23 teams pass on him? (reading my TBD script)
Stealth Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Well if you want to argue credentials than right now you still have to say Peyton and Brady are 1/2. However if you where to start a draft of every NFL player and redo teams. Aaron Rodgers would probably go 1st on most teams draft boards.
Alphadawg7 Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Not according to Greg Jennings sister who went off on Rodgers on twitter...hilarious http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1466278-greg-jennings-sister-absolutely-annihilated-packers-aaron-rodgers-on-twitter
EmotionallyUnstable Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 I have to say Manning. He is the ultimate field general. He is a student of the game and has the credentials, skills and attitude to back it up. He makes everyone around him a way better player. Not to say any of these other guys are bums but Manning is just unreal. Love watching him play.
KD in CA Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Not according to Greg Jennings sister who went off on Rodgers on twitter...hilarious http://bleacherrepor...gers-on-twitter What a dumb B word. Jennings has been hurt all season and wants top FA money when it's over, so he should have expected the Packers to work on developing their other WRs.
BfloBillsFan Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 If I'm building a team right now (to win now or the future) I take Rodgers over Manning, Brees, Brady, RG3, Luck, etc. IMO Rodgers would succeed in any offensive system and you wouldn't have to build a system around his strengths. Tough, great arm, smart, and true leader...I think the most complete QB in the league (with Brees being second). Manning and Brady may have better numbers (as of now) but are pure pocket passers and, personally, I would want a more mobile QB.
Omar Little Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 If it's not him, it's Brady or Manning. Take your pick among the three. There's no wrong answer.
San Jose Bills Fan Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Aaron Rodgers is a good example of how important the mental part of the game is. There are other QBs who have similar physical talents (Tony Romo is almost a carbon copy) but it's Rodgers' head which separates him. Same with Peyton and Brady.
Rob's House Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 He's definitely up there. I tend to give the nod to Peyton Manning b/c of his keen pre-snap abilities and ability to produce consistently across several coaches, OCs, and now teams, but Rogers is definitely right up there with Manning and Brady in the top 3.
Orton's Arm Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 I think a very strong case could be made that Rodgers is the best QB in the NFL. Back when he led the Packers to a Super Bowl victory, I recall him having made one bad throw all game. One. To the best of my recollection, everything else he did was perfect. No one has the right to play at such an insanely high level. Not only that, but he's better at mitigating an offensive line's problems than just about any other elite QB I know. He gets rid of the ball in a hurry, moves around well, buys himself more time. It would be much harder for a defense to use a good pass rush to neutralize him than it would be for them to neutralize Manning, or even Brady. (Assuming that all three QBs played behind equally good offensive lines.)
RealityCheck Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 I would take Rapelessburger over anybody else.
Mark80 Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 If it's not him, it's Brady or Manning. Take your pick among the three. There's no wrong answer. Exactly, it's a wash between those 3 and Brees isn't that far behind.
Tcali Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 (edited) Peyton #1. Rodgers,Brady,Brees overall not much difference there.they are sliightly behind. Luck is knocking on the door.Loudly. he is right there and should take over the reigns in 1-2 yrs. Edited January 4, 2013 by Tcali
bills44 Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 If he was so good then why did 23 teams pass on him? (reading my TBD script) 23 teams didn't pass on Rodgers
