Rodgers completed 24 of 39 passes for 304 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions. 8 less completions is no big deal.

Both guys were money in the biggest game.

Ben, not so much.

RIGHT NOW, i got

Rogers
Brady
Brees
Rivers
Manning

After that, it's a hodge-podge of
Rothlisberger, Vick, Schaub, and Romo

"interestingly, brady and manning were not in the discussion. why? i have no idea"

I happen to have heard that segment this morning and the comments were made in the context of an argument over whether someone (I think it was Rivers) was a "top 5 QB." So, one of the guys said "out of Rivers, Rogers, Brees, Eli, and Ben," who are the top 3?" Although explicitly stated, I took it that it was just assumed that Manning and Brady were 1 and 2.

I wonder if Hodge would allow Big Ben to court his daughter?

61.5% vs 82.1%
111.5 rating vs 114.5 rating (pretty much a wash)

The completion percentage is the primary difference between the two performances, but Brees was phenomenal, especially when you consider how the game started.

2010 called, and Aaron Rogers laughs at Manning being 1/2

That's close to what I got. But would likely put Brees 1 or 2. People are letting last year when he played with a knee injury impact their opinions.

Brady throws the nicest bubble screen in the NFL. Most of Brady's pass yards are essentially running plays.

I've heard them carrying on about this for days now. It amazes me how many dumbasses come with the ring comments anytime Ben isn't mentioned with the elite.

Let us not forget the plethora of drops from Packer WRs during that game. Rodgers would have had 400 yards and 4 TDs if Jordy Nelson could catch the ball. James Jones probably would've scored on this pass as well:

And I'd probably put Big Ben at 7 or 8.
