Aaron Rodgers

Is poor if a play is not successful. Seen it a few times today. It’s a team game. Defense will make a good play here and there too. Uncalled for and petty.

a mistake or bad pass. It was never on him.

And while I agree Marino could seem like a pain in the ass, nothing like Rodgers throwing his arms up after every play that doesn't go perfectly. He's a child.

!

and a little overrated. His bad attitude and lack of leadership skills are what holds him back from being an all time great. Unfortunately for him those aro two very important metrics for a QB.

If he had Brady's leadership skills he would have more than one ring.

Ha, I actually know one of Marino's Olineman and said he was a dick. Never his fault...

He never showed up his teammates, nor made excuses by blaming them or the coaches. He was a class act.

So far Jones has displayed similar qualities which makes him easy to root for.

I remember his brother ripping him to the media claiming that Aaron didn't even call to check on his parents after they lost everything in a wildfire.

I love those guys and I never understood players who try to show up their teammates. How could it possibly be beneficial to the team?

any time.

Yes, I think this must be why he only has 1 ring.

He's had a rather charmed career that he doesn't seem to appreciate. 3 years behind Favre in a 1st class organization to clean up his college game, and then in his third full season starting he wins a Super Bowl.

The attitude becomes a real issue trying to win the biggest postseason games. 49ers didn't lose out on a Super Bowl by not drafting him, IMO. He would've had to be part of a rebuild, and could only imagine what that would look like with this pouter.

he's an all-time great, top-5 all time, 3 x MVP. winning QB who will waltz into the HoF on the first ballot.

And he's better than any QB the Giants ever had.

Pretty sure no one is arguing he's a great QB. Not really the point. He seems like a dick and hard to root for. That's it

Amen. And the very few times he did, you knew the weight of the situation. I think I saw him bitch at teammates maybe three times. One was on the drive during XLII. After samuels almost made the pick if I remember correctly.

Well Eli was a lot easier to root for and he brought us twice as many Super Bowls as Rogers got for his team. So how I'm grading them I'll take Eli over Rogers.

and as far as, "ever had", Simms, Tittle, Conerly, and Tarkenton were no slouches either.

What is with his hair? He growing a mullet?

Love all those old QBs, esp Simms and Eli. love them. Aaron Rodgers is greater.

A football throwing genius. He demands a very high level, especially from himself.

So I have no problem with his approach. But it's not for everyone.

I'm not a fan of arrogance but I'm not going to debate that but when you throw a terrible INT that he did he goes to bitch about it to the official? That's just an asshole that takes no accountability.

Again, great talent, hard to root for IMHO

Okay, but what if Rodgers actually thought the ref missed something? Why wouldn't he complain? A guy of hi status might end up getting a favorable call later in the game...

Completely agree with these takes. Rodgers is very prissy and visibly shows up his own players all the time. Unless they are playing the bears this year or an NFCE team, I’m rooting against him. Burrow hopefully caps the comeback off with a win.

and Peyton complained their way to the league changes we see, and continued to complain after. Brady is a dick too, constantly yells at his players and refs. Lots of double standards on this thread.

Did you see the play I'm referencing? Terrible throw, bad pick, period. Lick your wounds and, admit you're not god, move on. That's not the way he rolls.

If you're saying he is trying to get into the refs head ala Jordan, Lebron, etc, that's another story. I'm sticking with he's a dick (see story above about his parents losing everything/his brother)

I don't know if you can clearly say he is greater. He does things physically that many can't but how much heart a guy displays and how he motivates those around him also count for something on the field, and he trails many in that area.
In a game that largely measures greatness by championships he has fallen short of true greatness IMO.

Another way it could be described is that he often loses his composure.

Coaches have no courage.. embarrassing

I don't know how you could say a guy like that is a dick.
