1. Time to throw out QBs' postseason win-loss records

If there has ever been a time to take every quarterback's postseason win-loss records, put them on an island and obliterate them with a 100-megaton nuke, Godzilla style, that time is now.

Aaron Rodgers is 7-6 in the postseason, a .538 winning percentage. Mark Rypien has a .714 postseason winning percentage. Trent Dilfer's is .833. Jake Delhomme's is .625. Mark Sanchez's is .667.

That's right, Mark Freaking Sanchez has a better postseason record than Rodgers.

We all know, of those players, who the best quarterback is. Yet we obsess over quarterback win-loss records, especially postseason ones. We talk about them all the time. Drool over them. You'll hear about Tom Brady's record, and Peyton Manning's, plenty this week. Just remember...Rodgers is 7-6.

You watch what Rodgers did against Arizona—one of the best performances any quarterback has ever had in the postseason—and his wins and losses become especially meaningless.

Said former NFL quarterback Steve Beuerlein on CBS Sports' NFL Monday QB this week:

It's unbelievable when you look at what this guy has done. It's not just the Hail Mary. It's the 4th-and-20 [the play before] with the game on the line, he delivers a laser to [Jeff] Janis to pick up the first down and give his team a chance at the end zone and the Hail Mary…He made the Hail Mary throw under pressure. He knows he's going to get hit. He gives Janis a chance to go up and make the play. Most guys only have one of these in their career…He continues to prove that he's such a unique quarterback.

I've said it before: Brady is the best ever, but one day, he will be replaced as the best ever by Rodgers...

...by Rodgers...who has a .538 postseason winning percentage.

Rodgers performance at Arizona wasn't fantastic. Did he make some great athletic throws on the final drive. Absolutely. He led his team to 13 points. That's hardly anywhere near great territory.

"Before those two throws, he had gone 0-for-10 on deep balls. He also had 11 passes on first down, with terrible results: seven completions (three of which lost yards) for 17 yards with no first downs and an interception."

Some guys thrive and some dive under the pressure. Unlike Brady, we all know Rodgers has not been very good in crunch time, ALL OF US KNOW IT. But going forward its only getting worse; here's why:

Rodgers' "trust issue" bullshit has risen to a debilitating level. When the game is on the line, especially in playoffs, Rodgers is so afraid of the INT, so afraid his receivers are not a smart as him, that it paralyzes him. Mike McCarthy doesn't get conservative; his play calling is very aggressive with a lead; it is Rodgers' paralysis that causes the offense to stall, when it's needed most.

Unless Rodgers gets therapy or otherwise ratchets down his superiority complex, this psychosis will take on a life of its own and snowball because Rodgers is affected by criticism. He will then become even more fearful and untrusting of those around him and be out of the league in a few years.
