They let players go a year or two too early to save cap space. It is a business. Love Jordy and shed a tear when they let him go, but it is a business.
It was our brilliant coach dumps Nelson and for good measure he dumps Cook to . Then replaces him with a washed up Jimmy Graham 🤦🏼♂️. Fortunately he’s our X coach who could never figure out Defense wins ballgames.
Tom P Jordy’s time was coming soon and his last season with the Packers definitely showed. And it showed even more when he played for the Raiders. But Jordy Nelson was always one of my favorite receivers to watch when he was healthy and in his prime. Dude was a machine
Even more amazing if you remember that just about a week or so prior is when we threw the hail mary against the Lions, which DID win the game. Some QBs have never thrown a successful hail mary and he hit two, just weeks apart.
It's the Detroit Lions one because they committed a facemask penalty on the last play of game right before the heartbreak'/!!! That TD bomb was a result of an untimed down'/!!!
"He turned 32 yesterday, does he have a vintage moment in him?" Aaron Rodgers: throws a game winner in a game where the Packers never led during regulation, and did not win in overtime. Instant fucking classic.
That throw against the bears. Tell me another QB that can juke 3 defenders in the pocket, and then when he's falling down, flick the ball 45 yards on a DIME to where only the receiver can get it. Aaron Rodgers is the best QB to ever touch the field, and there's no arguing it.
I saw three. But like I said, I admire Aaron Rodgers a lot, not many other QB's I could think of (especially not a single one in Bears history, but that's off topic) could have pulled this play off. They didn't have to hold to make this happen but it happened that way.
Remember it live, but I just saw the field-level angle of that for the first time. Holy crap! The angle (non angle) it dropped in from. There was no knocking it away or anything to be done!
Anyone who can watch highlights like these of Aaron and still say Brady, Brees or Manning is better; is seriously on dope. Rings are a TEAM effort. The QB position is a single position and requires TALENT and intelligence. Aaron’s career passer rating and TD:INT ratio speak for themselves. Unfortunately, the sacks do as well... and they’re just another example of why Aaron is as great as he is. The dude has been running for his fucking life 90% of his career and LOOK what he’s done... it’s unmatched! I think it’s safe to safe his career passer rating and TD:INT ratio will NEVER be matched... Also... goddamn I miss Jordy! He and Aaron were money! Thankfully, we still have Adams! Easily top 10 if not top 5 in the league... and he’s only getting better!!
Agree wholeheartedly on the whole ring debate. Yes having super bowl wins are a great achievement but its a team thing. Some of the worst qbs have a super bowl ring, but does that make them better than dan marino? Or any other great qb that hasn’t won a ring? People need to start judging qbs based on how well they play the position of qb. Not trying to take anything away from brady or anyone else but the greatest qb should be the one with the best overall stats.
Well being coach able and a team player helps as well. Aaron is not very good at that which is why he will never win the Super Bowl again. He is of course the most talented about, but I’d take Brady in his prime over Rodgers in his prime any day. The score is not just 6-1 in Super Bowl rings. It’s also 9-1 in Super Bowl appearances and 12-4 in title game appearances. Rings alone don’t make you better, but this is too big of a difference to not judge each player by individual winning ability.
And don't forget the 70 yarder to Jordy under :30 to go to set up chip shot FG to knock Bears out of Playoffs too. BUT I still watch the Rodgers to Cobb play like once a week, or if I need a quick pick me up
sometimes james jones would look like he didn't realize he's playing football until rodgers would shove the ball into his hands, then you'd see jones rip off unbelievable runs.
This is weird to describe but here goes. As a fan of historic sports moments and memorable announcers calls, sometimes I get a certain call stuck in my head the way most ppl gets songs stuck in their heads. The call of Rodgers hail mary to Janis against the Cardinals was stuck in my head for the longest time but I couldn't figure out what sporting event it had come from and it was driving me nuts. I just knew it was 2 announcers, one saying "Oh stop it!" and the other guy going "Please!" and it was probably Michaels and Collinsworth, but who knows, it could have been a basketball game w Mike Tirico and Hubie Brown and a player like say Steph Curry or Kobe Bryant who couldn't miss. Clearly though somebody in this game had just caught absolute fire and created a truly surreal reaction from the booth and I just couldn't remember who it was or what situation. So I am grateful for this video for showing me that clip and resolving all that confusion in my head.
About half way through I had to rest my body from the intense reactions of every single play up until the new York jets sequence.... absolutely remarkable. I'd like to see Tom Brady try half these throws, bc Rodgers throws with his feet
Idk how the hell they say Aaron Rodgers overrated?!! Wtf is that?!? Lmao yeah right Aaron Rodgers is def one of the top 10 QB’s ever to play the game 💯🙌🏽
That throw against the Vikings, being a Quarterback myself that’s one of the hardest throws to make especially with that much precision at that distance
Brianna Repp Highlights or perhaps he was a quarterback earlier in his life, once a QB always a QB. Which NFL team, College Team, High school team did you play for? No? Shut up then.
I loved the hoodie... Rodgers is great, but there were a lot of amazing catches in there too. Sucks Jordy is gone, I am not sure what they were thinking. Yes, his numbers were down last year, but he still made big plays when it counted. Kinda what you expect from a veteran receiver. Not to mention that he was Rodgers' best friend on the team.
I thought that but I still believe the play I put to be the greatest throw he, or possibly anybody has ever made so I still decided to put it. Thanks for your opinion though, always appreciate input!
I disagree. It was a great play overall, but that mostly had to due with the route running and YAC by Nelson. Rodgers had a pretty simple slant throw that he can make in his sleep. I think they included the correct play.
Rodgers is an future NFL hall of Famer because anytime he gets the football he's throwing the football to his favorite teammates and i have respect for him since his first season with the green bay packers
That throw against the cardinals is pretty damn good. From the other 45 to the middle of the end zone.... with his hips open the whole time😎that’s a 60 yard throw on pure arm strength
What does rings have to do with the question at hand? Lmao. The question is about talent, not accomplishments. Tom always has a solid team, that’s why he’s always in the Super Bowl. He always has like a top 7 defense to help him get to the Super Bowl (except this year). Aaron Rodgers had that like twice. He’s easily better. Put Rodgers on ANY team, they’re automatically a contender. Can’t say the same for Brady he’s a great QB but he’s a system QB. That Dallas Cowboy play alone shows that he’s better.
Garrett Hampton yep coming from a dumbass that doesn't know anything about winning rings stats don't mean nothing when you got the bling bling despicable human trash
Fuck Aaron Rodgers he will never be as good as Tom Brady a couple of lucky Hail Mary throws doesn't make you the best 5 Super Bowls does all I got to say the Green Bay is enjoy the one the Superbowl with Aaron Rodgers because that's all y'all getting
Damn Rodgers has had pretty solid WR's and made them better too. aging Driver, Prime Greg Jennings, reliable james jones, entire Jordy Nelson (with pack) career, electric Cobb(up&down but still solid player), and wr1 D. Adams for the forseable future. If Jimmy Graham stays healthy, Rodgers and him will compliment each other nicely.
Mike mccarthy is a terrible coach. He cost rodgers half his career. That bull frog of a man would of never thought of anything like that in the heat of the moment.
As a Chicago Bears fan I have no problem admitting Da Rodgers is the best QB I've ever seen with my own eyes. And they say he didn't learn anything from Favre... Ha! Favre was the "throw it up" king. Rodgers listened. @3:47 I don't know if this play stood, but the receiver definitely stepped out of bounds before "catching" the ball.
On the one hand, true. On the other hand, Rodgers constantly has to scramble and make impossible throws because his receivers rarely get much separation (and McCarthy, etc. don't scheme that well). If you don't really get open, you better have good hands.
Brandon Jeffers also, half these teams he’s only played once and there’s a two minute highlight video of it, so if he threw a long TD pass I just used it
Packers Productions Yea some of these teams I was trying to remember when I saw the Pack play them lol but the irony is even in those clips where they only played a team once or twice it seems like even those passes were great in one way or another
The play against the Bears wasn’t even his best play against them. What about late in the fourth quarter when Rodgers threw a game winning dime to Cobb?
David Granados - As usual as a Packer fan you babble incoherently. What does the Vikings in the Super Bowl have to do with Anthony Barr crushing AR's azz?
David Granados - Green Bay didn't give the Vikings anything Barr hit your sissy QB and he got injured. And your last comment had nothing to do with this thread. There you go again with more incoherent Packer fan babbling.
