Aaron Rodgers Flushed Any Chance of GOAT with 2015 Performance· Page 2

Does this kill his GOAT aspirations? I think so. His playoff record is already questionable as are his playoff performances. A season like the one past is hard to erase. Yes, I know all the reasons and excuses people have for why things went south. It's garbage. Carolina loses their top WR in Benjamin, and they have a brutal WR corps behind him and they almost post a perfect season and go to the SB. How is that possible? How could Cam Newton lead the Panthers to 15-1 and a SB appearance with his top WR out? Meanwhile, the league MVP loses his top guy and folds like a cheap lawn chair all the while his adoring fans making excuses ala the days of Brett. I'm as big of Aaron Rodgers fan as anyone on this board. I love the guy. However, he was pathetic on many levels last year beyond the patheticness of the excuses being floated for him now.

Either way, I still could care less about GOAT. I just want the PACKERS to win another Super Bowl. Not necessarily Aaron Rodgers, Clay Mathews, Ted Thompson, or anyone else. I wouldn't mind having the Greatest Team of All Time discussion based on Super Bowl wins and general dominance, although nothing can ever be proved one way or the other. I don't care about greatest player of all time debates.

I am pretty sure that if Rodgers wins another Super Bowl MVP in the near future that the greatest of all time conversations will start to pop up.

You know, I don't really think that Rodgers had an "awful" season last year.
Average? Yes. By NFL standards he was average.
We are used to such a high standard of play from him, that when he plays like an average QB, some think he sucks.

As long as he bounces back, and this wasn't the beginning of a trend, then no it doesn't.

We can talk about how terrible his season was and the fact that the voting for the Pro Bowl sucks but the fact is he was selected to the Pro Bowl even on a down year.

Like Doddpower said, I want the Packers to win the Lombardi Trophy, not The Aaron Rodgers GOAT trophy. He's not a god, he's a human, a human who is very good at what he does, but isn't perfect, no great QB was or is, they have all had down years. To win a Superbowl you need a Good QB, but that's also not the only ingredient you need, you need good players and solid leadership up and down the team to get the Lombardi. I don't think Rodgers gives a crap if he's GOAT or not, I bet alot of fans have the same thought process. He just wants his team to win it all with him.

I would much rather hear we were one of the greatest Teams of all time over they had the greatest Qb of all time. Individual records are nice but team records bring the Lombardi Trophy to Green Bay.

Who cares if he is or isn't the Greatest of All-Time? He's good. Enjoy it. He wasn't last year. Hopefully we can forget about it. Despite not being "good", his stats were still in the upper echelon of players at the position.

Favre will always be my GOAT. I'm just glad we have a QB who knows how to play.

Then take into consideration the guy with all the titles - Bart Starr. The fans of the Green Bay Packers have been very blessed at quarterback. Hell, even Lynn Dickey was a very good passer, just had dog shit defenses backing him up.
