I mean when we talk about the GOAT of any sport, dont we look at talent? We dont say Bill Russel is the best because he is good and has the most rings. Aaron Rodgers is the GOAT thats it. Not talent wise. Hes just the GOAT. The one time he actually had a top 10 defense he won the superbowl. Fuck the haters.
Hunter not even Peyton Manning? Idk. It's close. Peyton, smartest qb hands down. Aaron most talented. Brady, most accomplished. Peyton changed the way Football was played. I agree with you except where nobody touches him. Great comment.
@@diamondd2778 they would not be winning without him. He knows how to win, he needs a team built around him that matches their goals. The front office doesn’t know how to self scout and adjust their organization
Karl Denis Then who is the GOAT. Don't gimme some dude with the rings or career statistics. No QB in NFL history has been able to throw the ball better than this man. Dude has the best arm in NFL history as far as power and accuracy. Hell, he's got the best grip too. Heath hits him full speed from his blindside and he somehow holds onto the football. I ain't even a packers fan but i know for a fact that Rodgers is the GOAT
Menzy So you're basically saying to hell with rings and postseason appearances. Fuck Brady and all the shit he's done up till now because Aaron has big hands and can take a shot from Heath and not let go, he can dance in and out of the pocket and deliver the ball with pinpoint accuracy and he is mobile. He can do all this shit but why his ring count doesn't match up with his talent at the position? Brady is doing what Aaron Rodgers is having trouble doing and that's taking it all the way to the final game. Brady has been to the super bowl 6 fucking times compared to Rodgers 1 time. But i'll say this much, it's arguable that Rodgers might be the most *talented* at the position ever. Poise, mobility, accuracy, vision, arm strength basically everything. Plus Rodgers got the Stats but what good is all that if you have trouble making it to the Super Bowl? If he gets 2-3 more rings on his fingers then you can make a strong case. Brady has stats and super bowls but can't do all the flashy shit Rodgers do. Rodgers makes the position look easy but lacks super bowl appearances. Trust me, I love watching him play but stats will only take you so far.
Karl Denis I hope you know that one player can't carry a team to a Super Bowl. Brady is only great in that system. Brady has always been surrounded by a better team and he's been under the greatest coach of all time. Wins and rings are team efforts. Rodgers just destroyed one of the best defenses in the NFL even with his undermanned team and he just put up big numbers against a "super bowl caliber" team even more undermanned.
people need to understand that Rodgers is the most talented qb in NFL history. and Brady is the most accomplished qb in NFL history. so just stfu and give me W's
the play that is gonna haunt cowboy fans forever!!! What a great season!!! so proud of GB!! we fix a couple things in defense and we'll be back!! Go pack Go !!!
Definitely should of gone for 2. You've got the greatest QB in the game and a questionable defense, put it in your QBs hands and let him win or lose it for you, dont bet the game on the result of a coin toss.
You should watch some Matthew Stafford highlights. I think he's just as good. Eight 4th qtr comebacks in 2016 alone. Fastest ever to 25,000 and 30,000 yards. One of only 3 QB's to Ever throw 5000 yds & 40 td's in a season... no rings, no playoff wins, but he plays for Detroit so you have to factor that in.
Jack Van Berg Dom is a very smart man. Supposedly defensive players were falling asleep in meetings. The zone blitz works, that is until you figure out how to stop it. No pass rush and it gets exposed big time. Lets hope Pettine can do a much better job, along with the management.
Matthew, The question was -- what can he do with a great defense? -- Answer - 2010 playoff run. Now, however, Rodgers has the Marino and Peyton Manning problem -- blah defense and no ring as a result. I guess you and your little 10-6 argument would rather have Peyton's 13-3 seasons with a one and done in the playoffs huh? Should we discount the Giants Playoff run of 2007 or 2011? How about trashing Kurt Warner while your at it. He took a 9-7 team in 2008 to the Freaking Superbowl on his back! Very little defense at all. It's the playoffs that really matter when defense is concerned. In backing up a great QB with a good defense, no matter what happens in the regular season, it's the result in the playoffs that ultimately matters.
As a Packer fan, with the exception of two Aaron Rodgers injuries, have had friggin' 26 years of watching my team lead by two legendary quarterbacks. I consider myself very lucky. I have friends who are Jets fans, Miami fans, Bills fans, etc. I feel so sorry for the misery they go through with their qb play. I just hope I'm not gonna end up like them because of all this fortune and live out the rest of my years rooting for a team with shitty quarterbacks.
In my opinion (and yes, I am also a fan of Brady), Rodgers is the best I've ever seen in following for close to 50 years. He's spectacular and clutch, and he makes the impossible look easy. Quick analysis of the plays here: 1) Hail Mary at Detroit - No other QB makes that throw. First of all, the presence of mine and confidence to scramble left and then right to buy time, and then to make that unreal throw with a trajectory that almost hit the ceiling...and the accuracy? Amazing. 2) I'm not sure who else would buy time, scramble to the left (his off-side) barely plant just inside the sideline and then throw a rope that holds its line and puts it in a perfect spot like that. Maybe, Elway in his prime...maybe? 3) (versus Bears, to win the NFC North) Clutch, momentous play, though the degree of difficulty wasn't real high - not by AR's standards. 4) Hail Mary I versus Cardinals....who else can do that? Again, possibly a prime Elway or Favre? Cam may have the arm strength... 5) Hail Mary II versus Cardinals....Only Rodgers can do that one. 6) (to Adams, versus Jax)...Even with a clean pocket, the placement here is extraordinary. Given that he's in the process of being dumped AND he has to get it under another D-lineman's arms...only Rodgers. 7) (to Jordy, versus the Bears) typically accurate and clutch. 8) (HM to Cobb versus NYG)...again, he makes a 60/61 yard throw look it's 20 or 25 yards. Pinpoint and with perfect trajectory. Good choice of plays, although with Rodgers, he probably makes 7-10 throws a year that nobody else can. He also had a throw...perhaps, versus Detroit this past year...that drew the longest PI call in NFL history. As I recall, he barely planted after rolling left, and launched it close to 75 yards for what would've been a TD if the receiver weren't interfered with. The ball just kept going and tracking perfectly.
I know it didn't count, but the play a couple years ago against Chicago where he was getting knocked down and still threw a perfect pass to Adams in the end zone. That is the craziest throw I have ever seen. www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-game-highlights/0ap3000000402599/Aaron-Rodgers-TD-pass-nullified-by-penalty
the TD that was called back against the Bears I think, going to the ground, pin point precision. He's the best thrower of the football ever and will ever be.
The man is the Dave Grohl of Football but his runners are legends of their own. Clutch sideline grabs, aerial picks, and fully outsretched fingertip completions. Athletes and superstars all.
when most of them are lucky hail mary's. when you have plenty of last second chokes to go with the lucky hail mary's. when you're 1-38 when trailing only by 9 in halftime for your career. thats what makes him not clutch.
IHCTerra ???? you're trying to tell me that giving up a lead is only the D's fault??? do you even understand how football works? i understand that it is part of the defense's fault don't get me wrong. But those points that the opponent team puts up on rodgers' defense when the packers are giving up a lead, they are called unanswered points. Why are they called unanswered points? because rodgers does not have an answer for them, he doesn't respond. Giving up a lead is as much on the offense's hands than it is on the defense. and same thing goes from coming back from a deficit. I have no idea what you're saying about giving brady credit that should go to the D. Just now I screamed like a little girl, when we signed Donta Hightower, we would have not been super bowl contenders without him. but these arguments are about brady and rodgers. and yes their defense contributes to their success like any other team, but that doesn't take away from rodgers not responding to 21 unanswered points like he did to an unexperienced cowboy team, he even threw a horrible interception right in FG position after the DEFENSE you always want to blame for rodger's mistakes got him a pick and some good yardage, crosby had to bail him out with perhaps the hardest back to back FG's in playoff history. Brady on the other hand he's the one who's coming back from a 21 point deficit and making the last second touchdown passes.
your stats are the irrelevant ones...we know them...but this is a rodgers-brady debate...and those stats don't take away from the clutches of brady, and the chokeness of aaron rodgers.
I'm a 22yr combat veteran last 7 years were 1st Special Forces Group I live in Tennessee and would give anything to see my beloved Packers play in GreenBay!
All I have to say is that Rodgers finally has a decent/reliable defense so far. He also doesn’t have McCarthy anymore, and we seem to have a good/above average RB who can get yardage and make catches. There are no more excuses, it’s time for Rodgers to prove his worth again. I just hope I get to see a Brady v Rodgers SB this year to prove who is truly is the “best”.
that throw against jacksonville why he's the GOAT. dancing around the pocket, getting dragged to the ground and throws a perfect ball with pinpoint accuracy for the TD.
I live in Chicago so you guys know I'm a Bears fan and the Packers are the mortal enemies but I will admit Aaron Rodgers is one hell of a quarterback probably the second best in the league if not the best
what is even more crazy is that most of these throws/plays were made just last season, in what was supposedly a down year for half of it! Last seasons highlight reel (this video basically) is already more stunning than most QB's career highlights! the man is the greatest 'talent' the NFL has ever seen. Shame Ted Thompson and co are so stuck in their ways they don't give him the supporting cast to go and win it all and create his own GOAT legacy. Hes had a reasonably good defence (that could actually get of the field on 3rd down) once in his career and that was 2010.... Won the Superbowl.
Rodgers is the GOAT, not Brady or Peyton, they may have rings, but Rodger, he has the skill, the power, and especially the clutch, he is the true GOAT! GO PACK GO!
Im not saying this because im a biased packer fan, but i honestly think rodgers is the greatest quarterback to ever play the game. When i say that, i mean that not a single other quarterback has ever been as good as rodgers is.
he’s the fuckin GOAT. that throw vs the jags ALONE. being pulled down taking a hit & putting that ball in the PERFECT SPOT the tightest window the only spot it could be put in. for a touchdown. my goodness. Tom Brady could never.
@2:08 Only player I know who can roll hard to the left, turn and square up for a throw in one motion, throw a 60 yd dime down the field with a defender in your face while also getting hit and not fully extending the throw. Dude's a freak.
O wish more teams did this, instead of kneeling at the end of a game that you are obviously going to win, just do one of these for fun, I understand that they dont want to risk injury but have some fun and entertain us more
*is falling backwards* most guys “eh I can maybe get 15-20 yards on this throw” Aaron Rodgers *flicks his wrist* “that was about 40 yards or so. Jordy you’re next with the post route.”
And there are people who have the balls to say that Rodgers isn't clutch :/ If GB's defense was consistently good, they would have multiple championships right now. Absolutely no doubt about that.
He might not go down as the greatest QB ever because of lack of SB rings, but if you’re talking pure skill at the QB position, he’s the best to ever throw a football.
all amazing throws, Rodgers is one of my fave QBs, but there was so much OPI from Cobb on that last play. straight shoved Leon Hall, who would have probably broken up the pass alongside Apple.
another play could have been the play where he hurt his leg and threw a dart to the endzone while diving. (I can't remember who we played, I think it was the Bears, but it was the game where he came back later in the game and won it for us)
