[QUOTE="PackersRS, post: 372522, member: 1429"] I'm not cherry picking or ignoring his time with Tampa. In fact, in previous posts I did mention how I came up with his first 3 years as a full-starter, because he only had 1 full year as a starter in Tampa (his second). And I did mention that you had to make such adaptation to compare him to Rodgers... Here's what I said: But that isn't important, the debate is still Rodgers' first 3 years as a full-time starter vs. everyone else. All pro is still a very flawed voting system. And comparing Otto only to his peers still doesn't make justice, because it doesn't take into account any of the other QBs that ever played. And it still doesn't take into account postseason. Nor does Marino. And he had only that great year, between two very good, but not elite years. And BTW, Young had a better year in 94. So did Manning in 2004 and so did Brady both in 07 and last year. For all the gaudy stats that Marino put, he still threw for 17 picks in 84. Anyway, 3 first years, 2 with 100+ ratings, for an average QB rating of 99.4, an average of 8.0 YPA, average of 4131 yards, 28 TDs and just 10 ints, with a 64.6% completion in the regular season. And in the postseason is just stupid. 67.8% completion. 303 yards per game. 2.6 TDs per game. 0.6 INTs per game. 8.7 YPA for a QB rating of 112.6, with a SB MVP and a SB ring. That is unheard of. But if disagree and think that Otto Graham playing the T formation and throwing more picks than TDs is better, so be it... And the point about Starr is, people talk about how back then it was harder and etc, but Starr still was able to play better than everyone else ever. So it was doable, even if by the greatest QB ever. And we are, indeed, talking about the best ever, at his first 3 starting years. I'm not talking about career achievements, because Rodgers still has a long way to go to be in the conversation with Manning, Graham and Starr. But first 3 years as a starter, subjective as that is? He's better. [/QUOTE]
