Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers provided a reminder of why he is still considered to be one of the NFL's elite with a stellar performance against the Oakland Raiders in Week 7. It is safe to say that this does not bode well for the opposition in the coming weeks.

Rodgers has long been considered arguably the most talented player in the league. NFL Network analyst Nate Burleson feels there should be no qualms about him being the scariest opponent to play against.

“He’s the scariest dude in football.”

There is certainly plenty of truth to Burleson's comments. Rodgers has proven to be more than capable of taking advantage of any shortcomings on defense. His ability to make any throw on the field while weaving his way out of the pocket is part of what has made him the gold standard for quarterbacks. Meanwhile, his affinity for creating big plays out of nothing only seems to be amplified in clutch situations and it is this combination of factors that keeps opposing defensive coordinators up at night.

It is because of Rodgers' prowess that Green Bay had seemingly become one-dimensional on offense in recent years. As a result, they were forced to usher in some significant changes this offseason. Fortunately, this has seen them take a much more balanced approach by making efforts to establish the run game.

As good as Rodgers has been as of late, he is poised to kick things up a notch once his favorite target in wide receiver Davante Adams makes his return.
