You're right, one game against a bad pass defense proves he's dominator.

 

But you said he can't take over games.

 

Okay, let me clarify it for you: he's not a guy who can be counted on to carry an offense. There are a lot of guys who have had great single game performances (or even a handful of them) who aren't great or even good QBs. That he did it once doesn't mean you can expect him to be able to in the future if needed.

 

I think most people would agree that if the running game is taken away and the defense is giving up points, that team is in trouble 9 times out of 10.

That's like saying...

 

"Well if you keep Brady in check, you will beat the Patriots"

 

Obviously.

Not at all. Rodgers won the Superbowl MVP and the regular season MVP. He is arguably the best QB in the NFL right now.*

 

 

* I do conclude their probably is a ton of tractor riding Packer fans who probably still Favre would still be the right choice.

Does Tom Brady being great make their defense great?

 

Alex Smith benefits from the other parts of the team being better than he is, bottom line. He's a game manager, not a dominant QB. One game doesn't change that.
