Aaron Rodgers' Profile By Esquire

[PackersRS]

One of the best written profiles I've ever seen. Just amazing.

Aaron Rodgers is a quarterback. He is arguably the best quarterback in football; though he has been a starter in the NFL for just three years, he is arguably already a historically great NFL quarterback. He has thrown for about four thousand yards each of his three seasons under center. Last year he led the Green Bay Packers to the playoffs as a wild-card entry, and then to the Super Bowl against the Pittsburgh Steelers and the arguably great but certifiably loutish Ben Roethlisberger. There, he led his team to an early lead but suffered through a brutal momentum shift against a brutal team when his receivers started dropping his passes. So he did the hardest and most essential thing a quarterback can do: He turned the momentum back his way when his team was dying, completing his most decisive pass to the author of the three most inexcusable drops.

Great find. In just six paragraphs Tom Junod captures an elusive characteristic of Rodgers. (Relative) brevity is indeed the soul of wit.

Great article, one in a million!

A gem amongst a pile of stones! Great find and thanks for sharing it! I love hearing such things of our QB!

I saw a blurb on an interview which stated that A-Rod has the highest QB rating ever!

Rodgers has the highest QB rating ever in the regular season, the highest QB rating ever in postseason, the highest QB rating ever on 3rd downs, and the highest QB rating ever in the redzone.

(The article doesn't state he has the highest QB rating ever in the redzone, but with something near 50 TDs to 2 INTs in the redzone, I figure he just might)

Thanks for posting this PackersRS. It is great to know that others appreciate the talent and the type of people we have on the World Champion Packers.

Qb rating doesnt transcend well over different eras. Not really a fair grasp of his place in history, or anyone else on that list. 15 of the top 25 are active players. Of those 10 that are not, only 4 of them didnt play in the 2000s. Marino, Young, Montana, and Graham.

But it does make older players stand out more when they still are high on the list. Like Bart Starr for the playoff QB rating and Otto Graham for reg season qb rating.

Here's where I saw it.
It's about 25 seconds in.
99.8 passer rating. Highest in NFL history. Wow.

What does that mean? A couple more completions, no ints, and he'll have 100?
No doubt that he is the best in the NFL right now.

Loved it. Nice find. Only knock on it i think is that the author used arguably 1 too many times
