Greg Jennings says Rodgers a better QB

[piratesownninjas]

Let's see the argument against it. Favre in his prime playing in today's NFL. Would he be a better QB than Rodgers?

He'd still throw a ton of INT's.

[rajncajn]

He'd still throw a ton of INT's.

No doubt

[Ed Hoyle]

Right now AR is better.

But, he is not as durable..he has already missed games due to injury. He will never make the streak. He has how many concussions before he goes down as Steve Young?

 

But, too, he has a different rule set in today's NFL. He is one of the top stars and better QB's to play the game.

 

When he has the MVPs and rings...then annoint him....still a long way to be a Starr or Montana.

The Iron man streak is impressive, but I don't think it comes into play when comparing him to another QB. Win %, TD/INT%, Playoff success, Super Bowl Success... Those all mean way more to me. When I think of the greatest baseball players ever, it takes a while for Cal Ripkin to come up.

 

And lets not act like Favre didn't play in this era... This is the first year he wasn't in the league.

[BeeR]

However, as we know, comparing an era in the NFL isn't easy

It's very easy because people do it all the time. It's also very stupid. Also evidenced by how many people do it.

 

This is why I am not nearly as impressed with Brees' yardage record as I was when Marino did it. A great thing sure but not nearly the same level of accomplishment, given all factors.

 

PS no way does Rodgers break Favre's all-time anything because he won't last that long. Odds are waaay against him.

There was a stat I saw the night Brees broke the record that to me says that Brees' season IS better than Marino's.

 

The stat was basically this and I apologize that the numbers are not 100 percent exact:

 

The difference between the average QB passing yds per game then vs. now is only like 20yds per game - actually less I think, but the average difference between Brees' passing yards relative to today's QBs was 101 more yards per game than the average. Marino averaged 70 more yards per game than tthe league average. So Brees, relative to his contemporaries, was better. I think that's the only fair way to compare the two seasons.

 

So ya, I'm saying that Brees had the better season because he was better compared to his peers than Marino was compared to his.

The only reason I mentioned era was because if you are comparing where rodgers is in his career after 4 years of starting you have to go back to the early 90s to do the same with favre...and things are much different now compared to then

[Ed Hoyle]

Most Seasons, 30+ Touchdown Passes, 9, Brett Favre, 1994–1998, 2001, 2003–2004, 2009

Most games, 200+ yards passing, career: 209, Brett Favre, 1992–2010

Most Games 4+ TD Passes, Career 24, Brett Favre, 1991–2010

Most Games 3+ TD Passes, Career 73, Brett Favre, 1991–2010

 

Just a few of Favre's Records. AR has set the bar for a career so far with QB Rating, TD/INT Ratio, etc. Phenomenal stats for a young career.

Let AR do this for a decade or so and he can be anointed. Let him win some more rings...then anoint him.

 

Surgeon yes. But, a gunslinger doesn't get down...just plays with a "Fire" that wins games....but loses just as many not more with dumb mistakes (INTS) at bad times. NYG a number of years ago.

 

Jennings can say what he wants, but the game is different now than it was when Favre started out. We will see what happens this weekend. I don't think anyone can run and gun with GB when they are hot....but I think GB made a mistake resting AR the last week. They should have let him play a series or two to keep a rhythm. AR can't afford to have a game against the Giants like he did the first half against KC...IMHO I think resting him the last game was a mistake. (YES, I realize they didn't want to get him hurt, but how many teams rested their stars to fall flat after the playoff BYE? (INDY)

 

Again, I am not bashing AR...if he can make it a decade with these numbers he will break many records. But, he needs to do it for more years to be annointed as one of the "Greatest of all Time".

Sterling Sharpe was a HoF-caliber WR. How many of those does Rodgers have?

 

 

(I'll help out - none).

[Chavez]

Starr was a fantastic game manager. I don't know much about Harber. Starr didn't have the arm, but he was smart, had a great line and backfield to play with. Plus, that defense was the best over such a long period. Maybe the best ever.

All that said, Starr retired as the #2 ranked passer in history, and was still #3 as of the rule changes in '78 (behind Len Dawson and Roger Staubach, who were OK QBs themselves).

 

 

I will grant that Starr was possibly the 4th best player in his huddle (maybe 5th, at times - behind Gregg, Kramer, Ringo, and Taylor) but there have been QBs in just as advantageous a situation who have NOT accomplished as much as Starr. I think he manages the rare split of being both over-appreciated (he was a WINNER!) and under-appreciated (he was a GAME MANAGER) sometimes in the same breath.

[Chavez]

The only reason I mentioned era was because if you are comparing where rodgers is in his career after 4 years of starting you have to go back to the early 90s to do the same with favre...and things are much different now compared to then

I think the point is that whatever rule changes have occurred, Favre was enjoying the same ones from '01 on (even though this year is probably/hopefully a bit of an aberrant uptick); and Favre wasn't exactly living in the "Dead Ball" 70s when he started in '92 - he benefited from the 2nd great unleashing of the passing game (1st - '78; 2nd - '92; 3rd - '04).

 

There's also the fact that you can probably pro-rate Rodgers' 1st 4 yrs vs that of ANYBODY's best 4 and he'd still be in pretty rare company.

[detlef]

I'm reading "let him win a few more rings" a few times in this thread. Doesn't Rodgers already have as many as Favre?

[Yukon Cornelius]

rules have made it a pass friendly league

[detlef]

Here's an honest question. If Manning, Brady, Rodgers and/or Brees played in the Montana/Marino eras then how do you all think they would compare to those two players knowing that they(Montana & Marino) are widely considered as, not only two of the best players of their era, but two of the best all-time?

I'm only going to speak for Montana but I will say this.

1) Montana won a lot of games where the Niners didn't score a ton of points. They were throwing it a ton, but as a possession-style game

2) They were also ahead of the curve, so perhaps the guys who came just after him might have had it harder since Ds had been looking at the possession passing attack for some time by then.

 

I still think Montana is among the best of all time but that had as much to do with the fact that he was so effing clutch as anything else. His passing numbers are not what he's known for and never broke 4000 yards and only 30 TDs once. And not because of his era. He wasn't even the most prolific then. Marino was. And let's not forget Fouts. He also put up way bigger numbers than Montana. Hell, so did Dave Kreig and Neil Lomax.

This makes me laugh. Rodgers is a great QB, but to say he's better then Favre is retarded. Not even a contest, Favre has a whole page of just all the records and achievements. I know people hate him as a person, but i doubt Rodgers will ever hold the legacy that was Brett Favre.

Interesting stat and good post, but it's misleading. The sucky QBs are dragging this down. Basically there are numerous guys routinely tossing over 4000 yds nowdays where in Marino's time it was pretty rare.

[BeeR]

Yeah, better SO FAR would be more like it, but also meaningless. Agreed talk to me in 10 yrs.

[WaterMan]

When the NFL made it where the WRs can't get mugged running down the sideline, that made the game easier for QBs.

I have to agree. My opinion is that Rodgers is a better QB, but we're talking Steve Young to Joe Montana here really. People love to hate Favre because of what went on in the latter part of his NFL career, but had he hung up the cleats the season before GB tossed him to the curb then I think he would be considered in much higher regard.

In fairness to Young as far as his comparison to Montana. Montana played under Walsh, Young basically under Seifert. Young also spent some of his prime years butting heads against a Cowboy team that was gifted one of the most lopsided trades of all time and had a talent evaluator that was good enough to completely take advantage of it. Then, of course, he had his career cut short by concussions.

 

I think Walsh saw the ultimate weapon in Young and I believe he was right. We Niner fans were just spoiled by having a QB as great as Montana right before him and refused to believe that our team, as a whole, was the 2nd best in the league during Young's time as the starter. That Dallas team was freaking stacked.

 

Hence the "monkey off the back" line after they beat SD in the SB. That shouldn't have all been put on him.

Great point that a few others have made as well. Those saying that Favre played in a different era make it sound like he played long before the passing game became proficient. Sure it has gotten eaisier the last few years, and this year has been an explosion (likely tied to various factors of the lockout and CBA changes).

 

I can see the view "Rodgers is good, but lets see him do it for another 10 years or so before we even compare him to Favre" And also winning some NFL MVP titles would help. As far as titles,

The Rodgers hype train is about the same size as the Favre hate train. That's all i'm saying.
