Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Aaron Rodgers

Exactly. And the opposite for the receivers. QB has has top notch receivers for a very long time. The Pats will pick them up from the recycle bin at Costco and get 3 more years and 2 SB rings from them most of the time.

Bottom Line...

I think both teams have been well run for 20 years. Both have HOF QB's running the team for nearly 20 years, GB probably even longer. But, if you compare apples to apples which is SB wins, Brady is the better QB by 5.

Cleveland fired Belichick . Let that sink in

Their schedule is a joke year after year after year.Brady would have never survived the NFC North.

Jeezus buddy get a grip. I didn't call you dumb but your post. Thin skin abounds. What's to hate about NE? You are watching the best. Period. Enjoy for what it is rather than who it is. I'm a NE sports team fan through and through but I loved watching Jordan and company take over after the Celts run in the 80s. I knew Jordan was the best ever. Jobe and Lebron are up there but Jordan was the best period. Not my team but I knew what I was watching. How can someone not cheer that?

While there is no doubt that Green Bay is a very well run franchise, and in my opinion, the most iconic NFL team, they are still in a small market when compared to the Pats, and NY teams, California, Texas, and probably a few more places. In other words, a player looking for exposure is probably going to look elsewhere. Also, they haven't had a decent coach since Holmgren, and unlike teams like NE that have been able to keep the ball rolling and are a threat year in and year out to win a Super Bowl, the Packers have not been.

Look at the Favre years......he was probably the best QB of his era, but GB simply couldn't field great teams year in and year out, like NE has been able to do. Salary caps and revenue sharing don't mean a level playing field. Publicity and exposure are what a majority of the good players are after, and that's where they're going to want to play. There are exceptions, and the superstars, like Rodgers, are going to get that wherever they play, but the ones that are a notch or so below, want to go to where they're going to be on the front page.

New England is the NY Yankees of the NFL right now, the team that everyone else wants to beat, because they are the best in the business. They aren't the best in the business because the playing field is level, and they just happen to be lucky. They are the best because of money, and how much they have and how they've spent it. It's that simple.

Holy cow. You have to be the most obtuse poster on this forum. I can't believe how butt-hurt you are over a discussion in which, it is very clear, I agree with you about 99% of the way. Loosen the bone Wilma. As to "what's to hate about New England", you must be new to sports. Read my posts again. Nobody has a greater appreciation of what they have done than me. That's why it easy to "hate" them. The term hate, in the sports context is usually used to describe and directed at the team you wish to lose because they win to the exclusion of all others. It's, therefore, easy to both appreciate their greatness and hate them as the opposition. My son and I talk football a lot. We always come to the conclusion that we root against the Patriots and consider ourselves lucky to have witnessed their dynasty in our lifetimes. You need to learn and accept the fact that people are going to root against (hate?) perennial winners and still be able to appreciate the greatness of the perennial winners. It happens in every sport. Consider yourself lucky for having "your chosen team" be "that team".

Well thanks for all that. Wow. As I type the sun has just broken through the clouds, too.

Go Pats.

This.

If Aaron Rodgers goes undefeated for the next four years including playoffs and Super Bowls he'll come close to the win total of that famous Viking QB - Brett Favre.

damn how I wish he'd won a SB there!

Me too, unfortunately he threw the worst interception of all time against the Saints in the NFC championship game. The Vikings had the best team that year.

And Belichick’s career took off when NE drafted Brady.

How about letting that sink in !

The interception resulted in the game ending in a tie. The OT loss was due to the phantom interference penalty on Ben Lieber. Besides, the worst interception of all time, bar none, was the Seahawk's Russell Wilson against the Patriots in SB XLIX.

Russel Wilson's...yeah that was pretty hilarious.

I was referring to the Cleveland Browns and why they will probably never return to contention. We will find out what Belichick can and cannot do when Miss Brady retires this year or next. I am betting on Belichick. HC has input on who was drafted correct?

Ha! I won a pot of money because of that play.

I still can't believe they called that play on the goal line. Especially with Marshawn Lynch at running back.

I'm generally in the camp of most SB's - then I'm reminded that Trent Dilfer, Joe Flacco, Brad Johnson, Jim McMahon and Jeff Hostetler have rings – and Dan Marino does not.

And BB took the Pats to a 11-5 record in 2008 with Matt Cassell at QB when Brady was injured in the first game of the season. BB is the GOAT.

You're not the only one!

You're not the only one!

James McMahon needs to be in several "rings of honnor."

How can you go wrong with Jimmy Mac!!?
