You might have forgotten amid the NFL's labor chaos, but on the a great offer quieter day time last day I enquired you for some help on this week's installment belonging to the ESPN.com offseason positional energy Rankings. Namely: in which must I rank quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who solidified his placement as an elite quarterback last time period all through the eco-friendly Bay Packers' work to extremely Bowl XLV.

Your 791 comments have been all much more compared to map, but inside the complete I saw certainly nothing to dissuade me from my reliable intent. I graded Rodgers No. two at the rear of Tom Brady belonging to the brand new England Patriots. since it turns out, however, i experienced been the only voter among our eight-man committee to make an make an effort to do so. As we suspected he might, Rodgers finished fourth shortly after Brady, Peyton Manning belonging to the Indianapolis Colts and Drew Brees belonging to the brand new Orleans Saints.

(NFC West colleague Mike Sando and Paul Kuharsky belonging to the AFC South the two graded Rodgers No. 3.)

There is no doubt that Manning and Brees have developed accomplishment much more than a extended time period of your time than Rodgers. But their histories shouldn't be held toward Rodgers within a ranking dependent for the present. Who would you choose as your quarterback best now? as shortly when you peel apart the unwanted fat of the extended careers, Rodgers compares favorably to the two Manning and Brees.

Take a glimpse on the chart accompanying this post. Rodgers consists of a increased occupation passer rating than possibly Manning or Brees. He's averaged a great offer more yards every attempt, a essential and historic measurement of downfield success, has thrown about precisely the very same amount of touchdowns every try as Manning and has thrown fewer interceptions every try than possibly Manning or Brady.

(And only Rodgers has The Belt.)

Look, rankings of elite avid gamers are enjoyment and silly but eventually irrelevant offseason talk. if you actually gave me just one quarterback to create my 2011 celebration around, I wouldn't complain about Brady, Rodgers, Manning or Brees. But if we should choose, and on this circumstance I did, there is significant quantitative help for Rodgers to stand just at the rear of Brady.

For the record, right here is how I voted:
