It's even worse on MNF, because of Jaws and Gruden. They are less commentators and more like hype men. You can be watching two 0-10 teams playing and listening to them you would think they were the two best teams on the planet. I love Rodgers, and I think he's playing great (really great) but I think Gruden was getting a little carried away tonight when he said that Rodgers is playing better than any quarterback ever. .

I loved every minute of it last nite.

I don't. I mean if your looking at last December until now. He's dominating both Yards per attempt and completion percentage which has never been done because usually if you have a high completion percentage you have a low yards per attempt and vice versa. Right now he's on pace to break the TD record and yards record and he's doing this all while getting sacked a lot. I like the way the one guy on ESPN put it (I forget his name), he said "everyone at home close your eyes right now and think of the number on trait in a QB in your opinion..........ok now whatever trait you just thought of, no matter what it is, Aaron Rodgers is the best in the league at that trait. As long as I've been following football I've never been able to say that about a QB"

I don't deny he's playing great, but stats aren't the whole story. For instance one could say that the Packers/Rodgers have had this great run against teams with a combined opponent record of 32-41. They've played three 2-7 teams, one of them twice, although that makes the Packers a big factor in Minnesota's 2-7 record. As far as stats go, even Tony Romo has good stats, he's broken 10 Cowboys team records, and ranks 3rd in the NFL all-time in QB rating. And given all that I don't think he deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as any of the great QBs, or mentioned in the same breath as Rodgers.

Rodgers is certainly on fire, and I think he COULD be one of the all-time greats, but I still think they were getting carried away, as they do with most things on MNF. Rodgers sure did look great last night, but so did Matt Flynn coming off the bench cold. With the exception of Jared Allen the Vikings defense was a sieve. And most of the teams the Packers have played have low ranked defenses. They've only played 1 top ten ranked defense, which was #10 in the San Diego Chargers.

I love the way Rodgers is playing though. It's so nice to have an accurate QB as opposed to a gunslinger. As much as I loved Favre, and as fun as it is to watch a wild card player like him do his thing, his style always made me uneasy. Almost everything Favre did had an equal chance of either being greatness or disastrous. I have much more confidence in Rodgers going into each game because he can control a game as opposed to Favre who was often a gamble, though more often than not a successful one. I think the toughest part of the Packers schedule is coming up, including a Bears team that's finally found their legs, 2 games against the Lions, and a game @NYG. I want to see how all that plays out before I make up my mind on this season

Thank you Jordy and the GB "D". A much needed fantasy win as I held on going against Rodgers and Jennings.

the way Gruden talks, its like he wants to meet up with Rodgers in the bedroom. Give it a rest and talk about somebody else for a change. Last I heard it takes a team to win games.

fuck the packers. :x

I need to get back to Lambeau for a game some time. I haven't been to a game there since Don Majkowski was quarterback. :oops: I have been up there for training camp several times since then, and gone to Packer games in Dallas and New Orleans.
