To put this in perspective we have three guys who have never started a game in our line-up and we still have the best QB-corp in the division. Rodgers is the best QB in the division right now and I would start Brian Brohm any day over Grossman or Jackson. Kitna may be a bit better than Brohm right now because of his experience but give it a year. I know it's not saying much because the rest of the division is very weak at the postion but we do play 6 of our games in the division so that's gotta make ya feel happy.
You can't say that Rodgers is the best QB in the division because he has never started a game. He may very well be, but there is no way to say that with confidence.
As for Brohm starting over Jackson or Grossman, that is ridiculous. Regardless of your opinion of either QB (Neither rank very high in my book either), to think that Brohm could come in his first year and perform better is crazy. Very few QBs, even the greats, have what it takes to perform as a rookie. And I don't think Brohm is one of the greats... yet.
Adrian Peterson didn't start a game at this time last year. Was Kevin Jones and Cedrick Benson better?
Not likely. That's how I relate Rodgers to the QB's in this division.
I don't think it's ridiculous at all to say Brohm could start over Grossman or Jackson. Maybe unlikely. People think John David Booty might start over Jackson and Booty isn't better than Brohm in my opinion.
Personally I think at this time next year, Brohm will be better than Grossman and Jackson. That's just the reality of the situation the NFC North is in right now.
There is no way on earth that Booty could start over Jackson. Anyone who says that is just showing how little they actually know about the Vikings QB corps.
And I agree that there is a decent chance that Brohm is better than TJack and Grossman at this time next year. However, he is
not better than either one of them right now.
Also, in May 2007, anybody who said that AD was the best running back in the NFC North was also delusional. You simply can't say that about a player who has never started with any kind of confidence. Same goes for Rodgers. At best you can predict that he
will be the best QB in the NFC North (and I will agree with you there). But you cannot proclaim him as such before he gets a chance to actually play the game.
