Bart Starr immediately came to mind so I looked it up and him along with Bradshaw and Brady have two each. Montana is the only one with 3.

As for getting high on the all time records list, if Rodgers were to play 10 more seasons (retiring at 37, not unreasonable IF he stays healthy) and maintains his averages from his first three seasons as a starter he will finish 4th in completions, yards, and touchdowns behind Favre, Manning, and Marino. In comparison he would only be 65th on the all time interception list despite having the 6th most attempts in history.

With Rodgers' averages he would also finish 4th on the all-time list for rushing yards by a quarterback (behind Cunningham, Vick, and Young) and he would demolish the record for rushing touchdowns by a quarterback (56 to 43 by Young with Vick currently at 32).

Some of Rodgers contemporaries could also figure into these career rankings--namely Brees, Brady, and Rivers (Manning is already ahead). Still, these players themselves would also have to play until their late 30s to do so and continue their dominant level of production. Either way, if Rodgers can maintain the level of play he has shown us these last three years for an extended career he will certainly finish in the top 10 of every major statistic, if not top 5.


For what it's worth, here are Rodgers' stats if he played 10 more years and maintained the same averages he has over his first 3 years as a starter:

Comp: 4,381
Att: 6,784
Comp Per: 64.6%
Yards: 54,036
TD: 374
Int: 135
Rating: 99.1
Rush Att: 782
Rush Yards: 3,865
Rush TD: 56
Fum: 107
Fum Lost: 38

I hope that he can put up the career numbers he's on pace for, but he has along ways to go before you can punch a ticket to Canton.

He had several elite years and a lot of pedestrian ones. I'm predicting Brees has a better career.

He stopped getting 8 seconds to throw the ball. The play of his offensive line during the "greatest show on turf" years was ridiculous. Warner seemed incapable of dealing with a pass rush in those days and his form dropped off considerably once that line got a week spot.

Poor protection may have had something to do with Warner's drop in production, but I think the severe hand injury he suffered in 2002 was the main problem. That injury lingered for awhile.

At one time, much like Aaron Rodgers is now, Warner was the next big thing in the NFL. Warner's three year run with the Rams is remarkable. At that time, the logic used right now for Rodgers was applied to Warner.

That was my point and not that he is a lock right now, though I think Warner sneaks in eventually. This HOF talk for a three-year starter is premature. If Rodgers’ career dips like Warner and he fails to rebound, he will not make the HOF. Will that happen? I don’t think so, but it is the NFL.

Predicting Brees has a better career isn’t exactly going out on a limb. He already has better numbers and a ring too.
