Hub Arkush supposedly said he has a vote for MVP but will not be giving it to Aaron Rodgers. He says he is the best player on the field but doesnt deserve it. I wish I still had Pro Football talk so I could cancel them. Of course Hub doesnt deserve anyone to follow him. His company took a lot of money from folks back in the 80s then went out of business. What a putz....

better person? The guy just sent over a million of his own money to help the people affected by the wild fires. He assisted the BarStool owner in helping people affected by the fires. He fought for things in the off season the front office should have already done and looks like he was right.  Seems like Rodgers is a pretty good guy on his own right. The fact he made a choice on the vaccine I did not make doesnt make him a bad guy. A lot of people I know chose differently than I did but they are not bad people. If that is the bar to deciding who is bad or not then this place will not ever resolve their issues.

The Vaccination issue surprised me, but I don't condemn him for it....however, the situation with his family is bothersome. I watch every one of his pressers and he lavishes praise and gratitude for everyone expect his parents. He grew up very comfortably but never seems to acknowledge that. As far as donated $ to victims of wild fires, as his brother said when he did the same during the California wildfires ....it would have been nice if he had taken a minute to call his mother to check on her safety. I want to like the guy, but a line from a song keeps ringing in my ears "man turns his back on his family ...he just ain't no good".

What if instead of getting covid mid-season and losing to an AFC team, he got it right before a playoff game, similar to Cousins/MIN situation but worse.  He made a decision that could have put a lot more people in a much worse position with respect to the team's ultimate success.  It didn't happen but it was not a good decision.

Hard to argue with either tweet..

I’ll add that he attempted to keep his opinion private.   He wasn’t championing his position until he got pushed into a corner.  

But, media tells us we must hate people who we disagree with.  So let that hate flow through your heart like Clayton Bigsby.

This fallacy doesn’t consider that it’s possible, even likely, that he would still get covid if vaccinated.   Evidenced by the hundreds of players each week who are vaccinated but still out.

What’s strange is that you give a shit about the guys personal life.  Even worse, believe that you have a fucking clue about it.      Where you fainting in the front row of the Backstreet Boys concert when you were a kid too?

Wrong.  It does consider the fact that the vaccinated have a shorter (potentially 24hrs) and easier path to return to action than the unvaccinated (10 days per NFL rules), decreasing the risk of missing games.  Which was the point of my post.  The unvaccinated can even miss games via 5 day quarantine if they simply have close contact.

Win a fucking Super Bowl

Yes. Rodgers is really playing for his legacy right now. He's a first-ballot unanimous HOF player if he retired tomorrow. He has been for 5 years. 3 MVPs vs. 4 MVPs don't make any difference in how he will be viewed.

Fair or not, what will make a difference is if he can win another title. Right now, he's top 10 all-time, but he's got one title, just like HOF guys like Steve Young, Favre, Kurt Warner, Mahomes (so far), Russell Wilson, and Drew Brees. I think Rodgers is better than all those guys, but if his career ends with only 1 ring, that's his peer group.

The HOF QBs who have won multiple titles are Brady, Montana, Bradshaw, Elway, Big Ben, Staubach, Griese, P. Manning, E. Manning (Maybe a HOFer?), Starr, and Aikman. Plunkett has also won 2, but he's not a HOFer.

If Rodgers wins another title (with only Mason Crosby as a teammate for both titles), he immediately vaults into the conversation of being somewhere between 2 and 6 all-time for QBs.

1. Brady

2-6. Montana, P. Manning, Montana, Rodgers, Unitas

There are "normal" HOFers and then there are transcendent players who are considered the true greatest of all time types. If he wins another, he'll be considered at the level of Jim Brown, Jerry Rice, Unitas, Montana, Reggie White, Don Hutson, Walter Payton, Lawrence Taylor, etc.

I really didn't think my post would generate the kind of anger that a 13 year girl would display over someone calling their boyfriend ugly.... and by the way the Backstreet boys were born yet when I was a  "kid".
