The problem with the Big Ben vs. Rodgers debate..
Is you don't have any sort of body of work on Rodgers! Seriously, guys, you are jumping the gun. That's like me saying in T-Jack's first full season that hes a wash and a wasted pick. I may have been correct, but I only came to that conclusion based on one season (partial season at that). I never looked at his whole body of work. Now, a few years late, it's safe to make that same conclusion on T-Jack. The same goes with Rodgers.
Sorry, but right now, I'll take Big Ben over Rodgers. 6 days a week. And twice on Sundays.

When people say Rodgers is overrated, I kind have to agree with them. I mean if we're ranking him in the same class as a QB as accomplished as Ben. Yes, Ben road the coattails of Willie Parker and the defense in the first Super Bowl win. In THAT game at least.
In the AFC Title that year against Denver and on the road he threw two touchdowns, 275 yards, zero interceptions. He was also 21 of 29 according to his stat card.
Pittsburgh doesn't beat by Denver if Ben is not the QB. Not a chance.
Yet that is tossed aside. We look at the Super Bowl in which he stunk it up.
That'd be like a Viking fan such as yourself pointing out Rodgers played horrible in the second game against Minnesota which he did, but failing to point out that Rodgers pretty much was the main reason why GB beat Minnesota in the first game.
This time next year, I might put Rodgers ahead of Ben. MIGHT. Depends what he does. I want to see him play as good as he did last year and also improve in certain areas. Particulary the final drive.
