re: FiveThirtyEight Analysis - What's wrong with Aaron Rodgers?

No, I mean that Cobb is widely recognized as the second-best playmaker on the Packers in 2016 and back then he was basically an afterthought

Yes. And why was a rookie reciever, who played QB in college an afterthought?

quote:

---

The teams from Rodgers' best seasons were DEEP at playmaker.

But some of those playmaker weren't even on the team (Cobb in 2010) or weren't even established yet (Nelson in 2010).

That's my point, you douche.

Well it's a pretty strange point to make them you're talking about how deep they were in 2011 based on their 2016 skills (Cobb).

quote:

---

Again, my point is that one of the "lowest ranked" playmakers on the Packers from those years was only leading the league in TDs.

---

Yes, just like recievers for Brady, Brees, and Manning all became great when they had the best QBs throwing the ball.

In other words, Rodgers is an all time great; just like 3 of his contemporaries (listed above). It's foolish to diminish their "greatness."

Not too mention, in order to diminish his skills, you've completely discounted that he was elite in 2014, when he won the MVP a 38/5 TD/INT ratio. That's a ridiculous figure.
