Aaron Rodgers is considered to be one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play, and according to one NFL expert in his recent rankings, Rodgers is beginning to get closer to becoming the best of all-time.
According to a recent ranking of the top 25 quarterbacks of all time by NFL.com’s Elliot Harrison (h/t 247 Sports), he has Rodgers coming in at the No. 10 overall spot. While many might argue about his placement in the list, Harrison’s reasoning is mostly based on stats, and just how incredible Rodgers’ are, especially when compared to those of other great quarterbacks of this era.
However, Rodgers’ lack of Super Bowl appearances holds him back from being higher, something that Harrison notes in his breakdown of the Green Bay Packers quarterback.
What Rodgers doesn't own is multiple Super Bowl rings, which brings us to the conundrum. Rodgers has only one ring, and hasn't pushed his team to any more Super Bowl appearances. Starr started in two Super Bowls, plus four NFL title games before the Ultimate Game was invented. Favre started back-to-back Super Bowls, and led his teams to five conference championship games… Time and again he has pulled out wins from desperate situations. Perhaps the ultimate judge of his value is how poorly Green Bay has fared without him in recent vintage. Lastly, the eyeball test says so much about this player. Similar to Dan Marino, Rodgers wows us with incredible throws that he makes look routine. All things considered, including his regular season record (100-57-1), the back end of the top 10 feels right for the Packers' franchise quarterback for now.
Whether or not Aaron Rodgers makes more Super Bowls is still undecided, but with a new offensive system in place with head coach Matt LaFleur, the Packers seem to be back on track to compete in a crowded NFC.
