[QUOTE="TJV, post: 622309, member: 4300"] That is really a great read: Kudos to Peter King. I particularly liked the discussion of Rodgers' INT in the game at Chicago at the end of the 2013 season. As King says, Rodgers is brutally honest in discussing that play. [I]Don't forget O-I-O![/I] As fans we sometimes/often get lost in the trees forgetting about the 'forest perspective'. I was lucky enough - and am old enough to have witnessed Lombardi's Packers from the time he arrived in Green Bay. Of course I didn't realize what an historic figure he and his teams were right away, but even at a young age, I certainly did before Lombardi left. It's a different time, a different era, and a different league but we too are witnessing something historic: Aaron Rodgers is one of the greatest NFL QBs of all time, a certain Hall of Famer. I know some believe it's too early to say that but I've seen more than enough to believe it. From King's article: King reports that in the last two seasons, Rodgers has thrown 11 interceptions of 810 passes. In his career, Rodgers has thrown six red zone INTs of 561 passes. Of course there's more to quarterbacking than avoiding INTs: Rodgers is the second-fastest NFL QB to throw 200 TDs, needing only 99 games (Marino at 89 is first). And of course Rodgers holds the NFL record for fewest INTs to get to 200 TDs, with 53. Second place is Brady with 88 INTs. 3.77 TDs per INTs over that span to 2.27 for second place [I]so far in NFL history[/I].
