And maybe the league.

Why is he playing so well. I think it is his understanding of the defenses. In his 3 years on the bench, and first year. All preseason, he practiced vs the 4-3. In the division, he gameplans for teh 4-3. After bringing in Capers, Rodgers now gets training camp to practice vs the 3-4, and 6 games minimum per year to plan for the 4-3.

He now has great knowledge and experience vs both types of defense where other QBs, like Flacco practices all camp and plays most of his games against the same type 3-4.

I think he gets an edge over most of his peers.

Good post.

What drives me nuts are the people who say: "Rodgers would not be the QB he is if he did not have the opportunity to stand with a clip board for three years."

That statement is not worth a hill of beans. It makes me gag.

There are one a great number of QB's in the NFL, and people in general life who had the opportunity to take advantage of an education but did not choose to do so.

Sure, he got an opportunity to watch, to study, to be a student. But he busted his ass in class. He chose to study well, study hard, and all the while also recognize his weaknesses, work on them, focus on looking off receivers and going back to them. His eye movements, his practice of delivering the ball quicker. He worked on every single aspect of his game. All of that at the same time as being the hardest working student in the class.

There are no flukes in life. If one always does what they have always done they will always get what they always got. Aaron is the antithesis of so many young quarterbacks coming out of the draft.

Fact is... If he did not take advantage of the opportunity and bust his mental and physical ass, day in, and day out, he would not be where he is right now.

Aaron is an achiever. Sitting on the bench and watching or stepping on the field as a rookie with the 49ers would not make a damn bit of difference as to where is is today. Right now. As an NFL QB.

Too many First Round Draft Picks, with better natural talent than Aaron Rodgers found the instant money and life change as a reason to enjoy and not study and work.

That is their fucking problem. I hope they will all be watching him win the Superbowl and Superbowl MVP.

Aaron understands that the word "Can't" died when the work "Can" was born.

This alone makes him special.

I agree with RaiderPride.

I think if you play, you learn a lot more than if you watch. If he started his first year, he may have sucked for a year or two, but he would be even better in '08 than he was after sitting for 3 years.

It isn't like he was going to learn anything from Favre. He didn't like preparation, study or mentoring.

I also think Rodgers was ready to take over in '07. He proved in the Cowboys game that Favre got knocked out of that he was ready to start when he outplayed Favre.
I want to go out like my Grandpa did. Peacefully in his sleep.
Not screaming in terror like his passengers.
