Top Qbs By Decade

[Shep]

Aaron Rodgers is #1 all time in PR and has a championship... how is he not even one of the best of his decade? Glaring omission and still the best quarterback to watch. Nobody throws like him. That release is absolutely absurd, the spin is absurdier, and the arm strength out of a guy only that big? He's a blast. He completes passes nobody else can.

For me, he's the best I've ever watched. And I've watched all of those guys.

I think he has to do more to put him in with the Baughs/Luckmans/OGs/JUs/Starr/Montana/Elway/Marino/Brady/Manning group.

I think he is fully capable, yet, he still has to do it, baby.

RG3, no fucking way.

How do you figure? It's not like he had one of the best rookie seasons ever...

Yes he did- can he stay healthy? I think there's also a certain amount of backlash from non-Redskins fans. The National Frontrunner Network (ESPN) has been giving him more air time than Luck, Kaepernick, Wilson, and Tannehill - combined. How's your owie knee todday RG III? Barf.

Just fine, actually

He's planting, cutting, and throwing off it like it was never hurt.

You didn't have a problem with me putting Luck up there...
