Ok so the guy is a great qb but it’s getting pretty hard to ignore his postseason performances. Awful last year against Tampa and awful tonight. Not good against the 2011 g men. Guy kinda is a big game choker at this point... he’s a VERY VERY VERY intelligent man and qb but regularly comes up small. I believe they wouldn’t have the ring they have without the deshaun Jackson punt return to beat us?! If I’m wrong someone correct me. Overrated qb? End of the road in GB?!
Rodgers is a different and lesser QB in the playoffs than the regular season, but he earned the SB title he does have.
Now the fact he has only one SB title is also something he earned and it mainly has to do with him coming up small in big games
Rodgers is a great QB. This was always going to be an ugly game with the conditions. He outplayed the opposing QB. Unfortunately this game was lost due to GB special teams.
How?

Watch that play again. I assure you it’s nowhere near as close as you think it was
That’s a fact. In fact, if Eli put these 2 performances postseason back to back as a member of the giants the pitchforks would be out on here
Outplayed him? I guess. I look at it as Brady gift wrapping him three turnovers and him still not finding a way to win. Guy hasn’t been the same player in the postseason. It’s obvious

Last year he outplayed Brady yet Brady is GOAT and AR choker.

That might explain the AR side of coin but the Brady side stabs the argument in back. How do you judge QBs so heavily based on SBs when you can gift wrap games and still be raised in the air? Answer is, there are a hell of a lot if other people making plays but being given zero credit here.
I agree with that. And wish this board would appreciate that perspective for our team but still it should have been a lot easier for him than it was tonight to put some points on the board.
But it's his preseason performance that really stands out to me. And his performance in preseason pressers that sets him apart from the other all time greats.
And yes he's also a giant dooshbag, but that doesn't takeaway from the fact that he's a great talent.
Not sure choke is the right word, but he hasn't shined when facing a few active Defenses in recent playoffs.

Every QB can lose a SB title if one play goes the other way. Eli threw a pass the Asante Samuel could have intercepted and the Eli has one SB title. You can do this for almost anyone.

This.
I could never figure out why people think he Samuel play was an easy interception. The ball was about 12 feet high and he just barely got his hands on a hot throw.
Baffling.
The difference between them is that Manning is a team first guy and a good man.
Rogers is a fucking unmitigated me first fuck everyone else asshole, and deserves all of the venom that is currently being thrown his way.

Yep

Sure, if Asante Samuel was Yao Ming. That "almost interception" is as overplayed as the Wes Welker "drop" that Welker would've had to make an incredible play on to catch.
And yes he's also a giant dooshbag, but that doesn't takeaway from the fact that he's a great talent.
I'm not sure what the stat is now, but at one point Rodgers was something like 1-31 when trailing at the half IIRC. He was a notorious front runner.
Yep, could not agree more.
Let's say he's opinionated lol
What’s interesting is that Favre’s record has a similar blotch on it. Won it once early in his career and then… year after year of playoff disappointment. And note that the Vikings have a dismal postseason history - disappointment after disappointment when they played outside. And the Bears, another cold weather outside Midwest team, have won it once.
Could playing in extreme cold climates really take it out of a team as winter arrives? The evidence is suggestive.
The same was true with Peyton, even after he won a SB with Indy. As with Peyton, a 2nd SB win would cement AR’s legacy as one of the very best to play, but he’s running out of chances.
SF had a power straight ahead running game (perfect for the conditions), and ran a ton of slants. Lots of straight ahead routes. The Packer offense was too much WCO, and their receivers couldn't make sharp cuts on the turf.
I think this has been an issue ever since Holmgren/Favre days. The Packers had more success in the playoffs when they had a power running game...something the Packer FO should have been aware of when they built the team. WCO's aren't as effective in bad weather conditions.
The personal attacks on Rodgers are silly, btw. Yes, he's probably a jerk. So was LT. So are a lot of football players. 95% percent of BBI would be drooling if he came here as QB (not that it will happen).
Fans are very tolerant of this behavior when their teams are winning.

He comes across as aloof. And that particular trait will rub a lot of people the wrong way, including fans.
It's an easy trait to root against if that person is on the other side.

Rivers never made a Super Bowl and he's considered a HoF QB. Fouts never made one and he's in the HoF. Marino only made it in his 2nd season and lost badly. It's really hard to win one

1. The 80s and 90s 49ers won a ton with a WCO on muddy fields, though. And the slant is a WCO staple. You’re right that they were slipping on the snow yesterday, though, so maybe it was a playcalling and/or equipment issue.
2. I think one of the problems with the Packers are that they consistently fail to get him weapons and rely on him to turn trash into treasure. Outside of Adams, he had two jags and a retread.
3. You’re also right about a power running game—or any running game at all. The Packers just don’t run the ball enough.
4. As some others here said, Rodgers comes off as aloof and distant (he does almost look bored at times). But I don’t think anything has ever come out about his teammates not liking him. The vaccine stuff was dumb and the family/dating stuff was weird, but it’s nothing compared to off-field issues that many other players have
