Rodgers off to best NFL start ever

In the shadow of a certain No. 4's retirement, his replacement has thrived, but some may be surprised to hear the extent. Through 32 starts, Aaron Rodgers is off to the best beginning to a career of any quarterback in NFL history, as measured by one of the position's most important stats -- touchdown passes per interception (2.9). After this small sample of games, he also ranks as the sport's all-time leader in interception rate (1.8 percent of pass attempts) and career QB rating (97.2). It's clear the Packers correctly sensed Mr. Rodgers was a star in the making when they ended his role as understudy to Brett Favre the minute Mr. Favre began his now annual retirement ritual.

I'd also like to point out these little stats from so far in the preseason...
Comp: 41
Att: 53
Pct: 77.4%
Yds: 470
Avg: 8.9
TD: 6
INT: 0
1st %: 54.7
QB Rating: 141.2

Assuming that he's played exactly half a game per game (totaling 1.5 games played) so far this preseason, on pace for 5013 yards, 64 TDs. Obviously he won't play at this level the entire season, but it gives you a good idea of how ridiculously he's been playing, even after a somewhat shaky first quarter tonight.

Great Post.

Sorry... I honestly did not see your post before I went on my rant in another thread.

My QB rating was different as I calculated it on a QB Rating site I have saved.

If Peyton Manning wins the MVP in 2010 while Rodgers has the better season AGAIN, I'm going to go postal.

There are three scenarios under which I see Aaron Rodgers not being a shoo-in for MVP:

1) He goes down with a season-ending injury.

2) The offensive line collapses catastrophically.

3) The defense folds spectacularly.

He's a great QB.
Hopefully those that hate him because of who he replaced will "see the light" now.

Hey all you guys seem to be forgetting about the one thing that matters (the thing that Jamie Dukes said). Before he beats Favre, he's not elite.

Wow, even typing that was seriously hard.

Go Aaron. Regular season and SB MVP 2010-2011.

So if he doesn't happen to play Favre this season, he won't be elite? 😉

Exactly. If Favre gets injured before we face him, and then retires, it doesn't matter if Rodgers throws for a 100 TDs and 0 INTs, with 6000 yards every year and wins 15 super bowls, he still won't be the best because he didn't beat the best.
