Taking out accolades Rodgers was the greatest QB I had personally seen. I have Mahomes over him now but it don't take away from how insane Rodgers is. My only issue with Rodgers was how risk adverse he became after a while like he was protecting his TD/INT ratio instead of trying to take a risk to win the game.
I completely agree, although I can’t say he was the greatest I’ve seen until Mahomes.
With that said, he’s a FOUR time MVP, and that’s while Brady, Manning, and Brees were around for most of those years. The knock on him has obviously been playoff success and him seeming to want to protect his TD:INT numbers. But, people have definitely let their political views and talking points impact how they view him.
If you’re taking the prime of every QB in the NFL today and doing a draft, he is going #2 overall at worst. I could see people taking him over Mahomes, although I think most would take Mahomes in a redraft.
