<p>Maybe not, but I’ll celebrate Aaron for one of the top performances at being a winner in life. This is a talented athlete and apparent all-around good guy who has been overlooked and undervalued at every level of his career. He was only 5’2" and 130 pounds when he started HS. He set HS passing records and graduated with a 3.9 GPA but had not a single major college scholarship offer, because by then he was only 5’10" and 165. He played well at community college, but was only discovered because the Cal coach was there to recruit one of his teammates. He became one of the country’s top QBs at Cal, but then took one of the most celebrated first-round slides in Draft Day history. And after landing in Green Bay, he would up playing behind a legend who never came out of a game and he was booed on the first day of training camp after the Packers let Favre go. There is no recorded evidence of any whining, complaining, or claiming of victim status on Aaron’s part - he just worked his way up to the top of the world. I’m really glad to see good things come to a person who deserves them.</p>
<p>Heard one Minnesota sportscaster say the QB-less Vikings’ prospects look so dismal going up against the Aaron Rodgers-led Packers for the next 6-8 years that maybe Vikings fans should let the Vikes follow through on their threat to move to Los Angeles. It would put them in a less formidable division. </p>
<p>I thought Rodgers played brilliantly. I agree with xiggi that stats don’t completely tell the tale; Rodgers was better than his stats given all those dropped balls. Some Super Bowls have played out with more drama, but I’ve never seen a QB throw with better accuracy on that big stage. Beyond pinpoint accuracy, Rodgers has got a gun and one of the quickest releases in all of football. And although he didn’t show it in the Super Bowl, he can hurt you with his feet. The guy’s got all the tools and is pulling them all together into near-flawless play while making it look easy in the process, which is why the greatest praise is coming from former QBs.</p>
