no greater passer of the football<\/a> than Aaron Rodgers,\u201d Brady said, via Troy Montgomery of Steelers Depot. \u201cThere\u2019s certain people, you see everyone do it, and then you see one person throw the ball that much better. Aaron Rodgers was incredible.\u201d<\/p>\nBrady says it like Rodgers isn\u2019t still playing. For at least one more year, Rodgers will continue to be spinning it for the Steelers.<\/p>\n
“[It\u2019s] hard to put into words how incredible he passes the ball,\u201d Brady said. \u201cThe way it comes out of his hand, the way it spins and delivers with the pace and the accuracy. . . . There\u2019s only probably three people in the history of the NFL that could do it like him.\u201d<\/p>\n
Of course, throwing the ball is just part of what it takes to play quarterback. For whatever reason (and it\u2019s possibly as simple as Rodgers not having enough help around him), he has been to and won only one Super Bowl. Brady has won seven Super Bowls, and he\u2019s been to 10.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s also worth noting that, when Brady\u2019s Raiders were looking for a quarterback in 2025, they did not pursue Rodgers, opting instead for a run at Matthew Stafford and then a trade for Geno Smith.<\/p>\n
Rodgers\u2019s claim to GOAT status comes from an uncanny touchdown-to-interception ratio (527 to 123 in the regular season) and the general sense that he has the rare ability to put extra mustard on his throws, with the ball making a different kind of sound as it slices through the air.<\/p>\n
He\u2019ll have at least one more chance to parlay his arm talent into winning a second ring.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Who does the GOAT consider to be the GOAT?
