Is Aaron Rogders that good?

[subroc]

Is Aaron Rogders that good? He had a season for the ages (see his stats below). He set some records and has the single season, all-time, passer rating (see link below). That is no small feat. So, the question really is, will he continue his lofty ways (110+ passer rating, less than 8 picks, etc.) or will he fall back to earth a bit?

If he stays up there fine, but if he falls back, how far does he fall? Less than 100 passer rating? More than 10 picks? Less than 4000 yards? Less than 30 passing TDs?

What do you think is this year’s picture of last year’s NFL standard bearer at the QB position?

I think a realistic avg for Rodgers for the next few years (if healthy) is somewhere around 4000-4200 yards, 35-40 TDs in the air, a couple on the ground and 8-12 picks. He's accurate, can move around, has a great, deep receiving corps, and no running back. He's also a smart signal caller who's on the right side of 30, and rarely makes stupid plays. Yes, I'm a Packer fan - but yes, Aaron Rodgers is that good.

He was the best QB in the NFL last season, and he did a superb job of executing Mike McCarthy's system. With that said, Mike McCarthy's system is a permutation of the "West Coast" offense, which is about as user-friendly as you can get for a QB, and the WRs are perfect fits for the system as well. I've said before that the success of Green Bay's offense is equal parts Rodgers, his supporting cast, and the system, and I'm sticking by that assessment.

This is what I mean when I say that Rodgers has maxed out. He's not going to have 45 TD passes or a passer rating in the 120's every year. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if he never does that again. But that doesn't mean he's in decline. He can still throw 35 TD passes and have a passer rating in the high 100's and be a damn good QB, and possibly lead the Packers to another Super Bowl championship or two.

Rodgers is great. He is mobile, smart, accurate, and has a great arm. He would be the GOAT if he had flowing blonde locks though.

No

Tebow > Rodgers

Remember?

As long as he's healthy, I wouldn't expect anything less than a top 3 QB. He has everything a great QB could ever need as far as physical tools and smarts. It's fun to watch.

It's intriguing to think about Rodgers 4-5 years down the road. I'm interested to see how he is once his athleticism starts to wear down. QB's that rely on mobility usually have a shorter shelf life than the pure pocket passers.

he's no blaine gabbert, but i suppose he's aight

[NinerHomer49]

Yes he is. Never seen a guy that can throw with that much velocity, that accurately, that consistently, in the pocket, on the move and still have the ability to be a threat running the ball too. It's not all physical either...he has the brain for the game too. Plus, like someone said before...he doesn't have those "stupid" plays that just make you scream "what the **** are you doing!!"

He is THAT good, I think he has a great chance to atleast be top 10 of all time..I won't go any higher right now.

[Before4]

He is certainly good statistically - but he won me over in that he's never said one word concerning the Brett Favre incident. There are very few qbs that could have that kind of composure given the amount of success Rodgers has attained.

[ChicagoJ]

It will be interesting to see how good he is if/when the time comes he doesn't have the offense to work with that he has right now. But, I think this upcoming season there is no reason to think he won't be around the top of the league again.

[BcEuAbRsS]

Best QB right now IMO... Gotta do it for alot longer for anyone to consider him to be better title then that though...

[X12Celtics3]

He is "that good", yes. I certainly am not expecting his stats to be quite as good as they were this year because that level of play just seems impossible to sustain for a significant period of time, but he is the best quarterback in the league and should continue to be so for quite some time.

[DBR96A]

To me, the one thing that stands out about Aaron Rodgers is his accuracy on the run. I've never seen a QB with the kind of accuracy on the run that Rodgers has.
