Reply to "Rating QBs"

I didn't listen to the Mike and Mike bit, but the only guys you could possibly say are clearly better than Rodgers based on Super Bowl rings are Brady and Montana. Obviously, Brady and Montana have won more playoff games, but Rodgers statistics are clearly better overall. QBs get too much credit when they win sometimes and too much blame when they lose (except for Favre singlehandedly losing at least three playoff games with boneheaded interceptions - 2 in OT).

Aaron Rodgers playoffs

16 games started (9-7), 36 TDs, 10 Ints, 4458 yards passing, 99.4 QBR

Tom Brady playoffs

34 games started (25-9), 63 TDs, 31 Ints, 9094 yards passing, 89.0 QBR

Joe Montana playoffs

23 games started (16-7), 45 TDs, 21 Ints, 5772 yards, 95.6 QBR

The best players Rodgers has played with on offense are probably Nelson, Jennings, and Driver. On defense, he's played with CM3 and Charles Woodson.

Brady best guys have been Gronkowski, Randy Moss, Deion Branch, and Wes Welker. And he had Belichick as his DC.

Montana played with Jerry Rice, Roger Craig, Dwight Clark, etc. Not to mention the boatload of defensive HOFers he played with (Lott, Haley, etc.). In fact, Montana may not have been the best QB on his team during the latter part of his 49ers career. Steve Young actually had better stats once he was the starter.

The easiest way to look at it would be to imagine if you replaced Brady or Montana with Rodgers would those teams have suffered? Absolutely not. They would have been just as good if not better.

If you put Brady or Montana on the Packers during the last decade would they have been as good? No way.
