Turns out the Packers were right. Just like they were with Favre. And given that organization’s focus on always building from within, you have to wonder how overrated Rodgers has been his entire career.
But if he was ALL that, his playoff performances would have been better. Ask Pack fans what they think of that. In that regard, he is overrated. One SB more than a decade ago doesn’t not scream GOAT to me (I know that’s not what you’re arguing but just stating the fact). Yeah, the Pack didn’t do him a lot of favors in terms of building a team around him, but his own self-absorption was a leading cause of his failure to live up to his undeniable great talent.
And, he was probably 10X most favored QB by the zebras as well. Never saw a player get so many calls in all my years of watching.
Yep. Agree there. I suppose the sum of my opinion, FWIW, is that Rodgers is a bit overrated. Can’t argue with facts, but appraising his entire body of work can lead to somewhat different conclusions. I think he should have garnered more playoff success over the years given his natural talent with his main weakness being his personality.
Rodgers was a stellar regular season player but the playoffs keep him from getting listed among the best of the best. Won a Superbowl in his 2nd season starting and never got back to the big game. Kind of disappointing with how great of a player he was.
As in all discussions like this it is subjective, I really haven’t given much thought to what he does and doesn’t deserve. I guess in order for me to argue either side I would have to know what “overrated” even means, I mean, compared to what?
