I saw this on the espn boards..

While it might be not a true comparison since these guys had actual game experience, one could argue that Rodgers just might get better??

The comments are from the original poster on espn..Not mine..

I am just including it because I am wondering if anyone else thinks its valid?

I say it can go either way..Rodgers could flop from here on out, or follow in their footsteps, or just end up being average..

But the stats are pretty similar..

Here is a list of some pretty prominent QBs in the NFL and what their 4th year stats were....

Aikman- 3445yds 23TD 14INT 89.5QBRating 63.8%
Moon- 2806yds 21TD 21INT 74.2QBRating 50.0%
Kelly- 3130yds 25TD 18INT 86.2QBRating 58.3%
Cunningham-3808yds 24TD 16INT 77.6 QBRating 53.8%
Montana- 3565yds 19TD 12INT 88.4QBRating 63.7%
Elway- 3485yds 19TD 13INT 79.0QBRating 55.6%
PManning- 4131yds 26TD 23INT 84.1QBRating 62.7%
Brady- 3630yds 23TD 12INT 85.9QBRating 60.2%
Marino- 4746yds 44TD 23INT 92.5QBRating 60.7%
Favre- 3882yds 33TD 14INT 90.7QBRating 62.4%

Rodgers- 3730yds 25TD 13INT 91.4QBRating 63.4%
with ONE more game to go....

Comparing Rodgers numbers against 10 HOF worthy QBs stats in their 4th year in the league. Montana was 3rd year numbers because he only played in 9 games his 4th year.

I would say that Rodgers was arguably the 3rd best in this group of HOF QBs, cant really complain. Also considering that RODGERS is the only one of these that it was their 1st year actually starting.

There wasnt one of these QBs that had better stats across the board than Rodgers. You can say Favre and Marino probably had as good or better years than Rodgers. But consider Marino had more pass attempts in his 4th year than any other year in his career, that is saying alot. And Favres 4th year could arguably be his best year stat wise in his career. If Rodgers 1st year starting is near those numbers, which they are, how can you be worried about the QB for the future?

If you go strictly by numbers it could be valid but then your also talking about totally different football. It's like comparing the 60's packers vs. the 2000's Pats. I guess i really don't have an answer you could look at it in two different views. I would say it would be better to compare him against other qbs that are playing now.

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

Some of those are current (Manning, Brady...oh, and Favre 🙂 ).

Rodgers exceeded my expectations this year. I think as he gets more experience under his belt he's got the potential to be a truly special quarterback.

Brady would be the best one to compare with but as far as Favre and Manning even back then the game was different you were allowed to play defense in the 90's and the qbs could be hit, compared to now where the Qbs have their tutu's on and noone can touch them without a flag and everything is pass interference with DBs. Like i said you could compare with Brady but i would think thats about it. But stats are stats and you can compare them any way you want it.

That's funny. Rodgers ranks 8th in the NFL in passing this year out of 32 starting quarterbacks. That's not average.

Didn't I hear during the game that Rodgers is just the second QB in history to hit the 4000 yd mark his first year as starter?

Average????

He had a stellar first year, no debating that, if we had a healthy D this would be a completely different season, no doubt about it.

He's LOTS better then "average" in my view.
Throwing 2 TD's for every INT for a guy's 1st season under center is pretty impressive.

How many of those guys were starting for the 1st time in their 4th season? My guess is not many. That says a lot about Rodgers considering this is basically his rookie season.
