comparing rodgers to ryan is like comparing a snowball to dog shite....or at least those crappy 12 pack little ice creams
Rodgers can carry a team, without a power running game Ryan has shown nothing.
Rodgers has been in the league for twice as long as Ryan and also had the privilege to learn behind Favre for 3 of those seasons. Ryan came into a terrible Atlanta team just after the Vick debacle and started from day 1.
Ryan has better statistics in his first 3 seasons than Brees did in his 1st 4(didn't start as a rookie). And for each of those seasons, Brees was playing with the best running back in the league at the time, LT.

Rodgers hasn't benefited from having a power running game like Ryan either. The majority of Ryan's success has come off of play action. Rodgers hasn't had the same such luck.
Rodgers also plays for a coach & a staff that hasn't babied him in his learning process. McCarthy hasn't handcuffed Rodgers & has allowed Rodgers to tale chances down the field. On the other hand, Smith & his staff has handcuffed Ryan. They don't allow him to take chances & lean more on the running game to aid Ryan. That's why I mentioned both Ryan & Smith together.
Rodgers also has one factor in his game that Ryan doesn't & that's Rodgers ability to create with his legs. It just brings another dimension to the table that defenses have to be aware of.
McCarthy/Rodger>Smith/Ryan

Turner of the past 3 years was a top 5 RB when healthy and Ryan has Roddy White. Brees literally had NOBODY to throw to outside of Gates who was learning to play football at the time. Again without the power running game and threat of play action Ryan is significantly worse.

Are you comparing Matty with fricking Brees? GTFO.
