That's the 1 game sample from this year lol. Since 2010 (I didn't feel like looking back any farther) Rodgers has a 24-4 (26-6 counting Bears game)TD/INT ratio in under 40. I don't think Kaepernick has even thrown 50 passes in those circumstances in his career so who knows how he actually is in the cold.

For reference, his QB rating since 2008 is 105.4.
Rodgers has played in two games in which the starting temperature was single digits or worse: 2008 away to Chicago (6 degrees; 2 TDs, 1 INT, 87.6 QB Rating) and 2008 home against Houston (0 degrees; 2 TDs, 1 INT, 104.2 QB Rating).
I started looking because I pulled some numbers like these a few years ago when people were saying we absolutely had to have a running game because we can't pass in the cold. What I remembered finding was that the numbers were not all that different in cold weather vs. warm weather, especially if you focus on outdoor games where wind can be a factor (in 20 career dome games, Rodgers has a 117.2 QB Rating... probably due to Minnesota being shit).
All that said, wpr, steveishre, and co. are spot on in saying it's not a valid comparison as most of those below 40 or whatever games you want to pull are going to be nothing like the game this weekend. The game this weekend might be a once in a generation game weather wise. It'll be fun to see how that weather affects the two teams.
