Too many Green Bay Packers fans have begun prematurely crowning Aaron Rodgers as the best quarterback of all time. Most cite lifetime passer rating and completion percentage --numbers that tell us Tony Romo is better than Joe Montana and Peyton Manning-- as the primary reasons for this insanity.
Now, I realize that Green Bay is a fanatical football town. I also realize that in his short career, Rodgers has already delivered a Super Bowl victory and is currently leading an undefeated Packers squad while posting MVP-caliber numbers. Both are significant accomplishments, but some of these delusional cheesheads need a reality check.
- Rodgers hasn't played long enough to be in the class of Drew Brees, Tom Brady or Peyton Manning.
- Rodgers will need to play like the best QB of all time for the Packers to win another Super Bowl while giving up this many big plays.
The Packers' defense allowed 200+ yards to 23-year-old Christian Ponder in his first career start and almost lost the game, 33-27 to a laughable Minnesota Vikings in Week 7. That's right, the same Christian Ponder who threw about 15 picks to Charles Woodson, and whose numbers after three games make Tim Tebow look like John Elway, teamed up with Adrian Peterson to carve up the Pack.
At this moment, the Week 10 rematch between the undefeated Packers and the Vikings is upon us and there are more questions than ever about this Green Bay team. After giving up 38 to the San Diego Chargers, will the Vikings (2-6) pester the Pack again? Will the Packers defense continue to show such weakness?
And, will this vulnerability ultimately lead to their demise?
