no, Ruth is now and will always be the greatest baseball player of all time, Joe Montana is now and will always be the greatest QB of all time, Rodgers has a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG way to go to be even mentioned in the same breath as those guys.

Rodgers is the best qb playing right now but is a long way from even being in the argument for greatest of all time.

He's well on his way. 72% completion is fucking sick. He wins another ring this year and that puts him higher than punk ass Favre...I'm content with that.  He's pure fucking awesome. And I'm a huge Brady fan.

He's not better than Brady, Montana, Moreno or Manning...Yet

it takes more than a couple of rings to be mentioned with the legends, the guy is in his second or third year as a starter for christs sake, let him play for another decade and a half then we'll talk.

He's won one Super Bowl and has had one half of one great year statistically, let's not get ahead of ourselves here.

Better than Favre, but needs 5 rings to be considered the greatest ever.

I'm a Giants fan, but when it comes to QB's it's tough to argue that anyone ever is better than Tom Brady.  Some QB's have some better statisctical columns than him, but Brady is top 3 in just about every stat category and at the end of the day, he gets the job done.  Like Jordan.  Some bball players had better stats in their careers, but at the end of a basketball game, if you had to pick one player of all time that you want with the ball, it's Jordan.  If you have 2 minutes left on the clock and you can pick any QB to drive down field and win the game for you, it'd be tough to not pick Brady.  The guy gets the job done.  Unless it's 2007 and he's playing the Giants  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

He is playing at a level right now that is as good if not better than anyone but he has to do it a few more years to even be in that discussion of the greatest of all time.

He has choked on too many occasions in the post season.

I agree with this. The talk of the old-timers gets old. They didn't face all the specialized relief pitching, didn't have the crazy $$$ amounts to motivate to work hard year around, etc. Different eras, different game. Now, put guys like Pujols back in time and they would tear shit up.

As far as Rodgers goes, if they win two in a row....he has an awesome start. Much to be determined, but if they can keep that team together for a few years, it could be one hell of a run.

Myth.

His 2009 post season is one of the greatest performances in post season history, and his career post season numbers are in line with his career norms.

agreed. is he the best QB in the NFL right now? absolutely. the accuracy of his arm and mobility outside the pocket makes him a threat that hard to contain.

you guys will laugh, but in all honesty in 10-15 years brett favre will widely be considered the best QB of all time. and im not a brett favre fan- i like the guy, but recognise his contribution to the game of football.
