is Rodgers Done now? Is there a place that's a good fit for him? Hilariously, the place that might be the best fit, if they're interested, would be Minnesota. He could follow the exact path that Brett Favre blazed for him.

But I imagine they're ready to see what JJ McCarthy can do (I think....not much). So that probably isn't the spot for him.

If you had told me in 2011 that Aaron Rodgers would never play in another Super Bowl I’d have said you were out of your mind.

And it’s not like he has the excuse of having played in the AFC where it was Brady, Manning or Mahomes almost every year. After Rodgers in 2010, it was Eli, Kaep, Wilson twice, Newton, Ryan, Wentz/Foles, Goff, Garoppolo, Brady, Stafford and Hurts.

I agreed. Rodgers is both overrated and an underachiever at the same time.

Cousins

[We Got The Whole 9]

They should probably just keep the guy who nearly threw for 4K and 30 TDs

I don't think Aaron Rodgers is overrated, he's a slamdunk HOF'er who, in his peak, was as good or better than anyone else who's ever played the position. But he's also a total schmuck, weirdo, horsefeathers, and he had more than a couple poor playoff performances. Like the '85 Bears, he almost certainly "should" have won more Super Bowls than he did. 

He's a top 5 QB all time though. (This is somewhat arguable given how hard it is to compare players across eras and rule changes. I could accept an argument he's not top 5, but I couldn't accept an argument he isn't in the top 10 QBs all time, no matter how you're evaluating era differences)

Even if he is not overrated, top 5 all time is a reach. I'm not sure he's top 5 since 2000.

Brady, Manning, Mahomes, Rodgers, Allen…

Brees, number six.

id put Brees ahead of Rodgers and Allen, hell I would also put Eli and Roethlingsberger ahead of Rodgers

Eli is a 2 time SB MVP and Roethlingsberger has more yards and SB wins than Rodgers

I’m clearly a Homer, but putting Allen over Brees is madness.  I’d argue Rodgers as well but that’s at least an argument.

I’m pushing Carr to the Jets strictly for selfish reasons.

[BigSlick]

No, I am sorry, you cannot seriously put Eli Manning ahead of Aaron Rodgers. 

I wouldn't put Roethlisberger ahead of Rodgers either, but thats at least not a ridiculous comparison 

[BigSlick]

Ok this made me look up their stats and find what I think is the funniest stat of all time: 

 

Eli Manning Career Record: 117-117

 

(Aaron Rodgers is 153-87-1) 

 

For the record, Aaron Rodgers holds the career best QB Rating in the history of football. Yes, QB Rating is an overall flawed stat but he has the highest one in the history of football. You know what he also has the best career stat (again, in the history of FOOTBALL) - he has the lowest career interception rate. I think that at least puts him in the conversation of being Top 5 QB. Yes.

who cares, he chokes in the playoffs. Eli CARRIED the Giants to 2 SB wins

 

[BigSlick]

ahhh i have been gotten. this is on me for not noticing the bit earlier 

[soccer10k]

My favorite Eli fact is that the only category he ever led the league in for a season was interceptions, which he did 3 times.

I realize that Eli is going to make the HOF because his last name is Manning, he won two SB and he played in New York. But Eli 100% should not be elected to the HOF.

This isn’t a response to you, minny. The Eli HOF stuff out there bugs the crap out of me.

[BigSlick]

Here's some more fun with stats: 

 

Eli Manning career QB Rating: 84.1

Jay Cutler career QB Rating: 85.3

Mitch Trubisky career QB Rating: 86.0

Justin Fields career QB Rating: 83.9

 

 

[BigSlick]

it was actually kind of lost on me just how bad eli manning was for much of his career. i didnt really pay attention to him in new york for the most part but holy moly, not only was he not *good* but he was *actively bad*
