[QUOTE="Thirteen Below, post: 1035443, member: 18006"] Which makes me think immediately of Brady, who was also mentioned a couple of times earlier in this thread. His first season with the Patriots, he got a key to the facility from the maintenance guy. One night, Scott Pioli (New England VP in charge of player personnel) worked until after midnight, and as he was leaving he noticed some lights on. When he went to turn them off, he found Tom Brady watching film. Brady typically showed up for work at 6 AM, left for dinner at 7 PM, and then came back for 4 more hours to study every single inch of film he could get his tiny hands on. Pioli was impressed. That's how a high school linebacker who was also the 5th string quarterback becomes Tom Brady. Also, as far as Rodgers was concerned... what I never understood was, why would he [I]not [/I]want to be there for early OTAs? If you love the game so much, love your team, wouldn't you be dying of curiosity every May to get to camp and get your first look at who you're going to be throwing to? Wouldn't you be excited to see what you're going to have to work with? I sure would. If you're Aaron Rodgers, you have 30 or 40 more years to be a big celebrity every single day of your life. You only have a small handful of years to be the best you can be at the game you love. Why would you not want to be the best you can possibly be every single season you're able to play? Why would you not want to help your new young teammates become as good as they can get at doing their jobs? Unless of course you're not going to throw them any footballs until their 3rd year anyway, but that just gets me started down yet another rant. IMO, this is why Tom Brady will always be the greatest quarterback who ever played the game. Aaron Rodgers is just the greatest passer. Because he was OK with being just that; Tom Brady never was. You only have a handful of chances at a championship level season; why would anyone who worked so hard to be in a position to have championship seasons **** away a single one of them? I just don't get that. [/QUOTE]
