Question for you all. 

Brady or Rodgers both at their best.

 

Late to the party, but I take Rodgers.

I actually take Manning over the period when I fell in love with NFL. Had him just ahead of Brady. Both had already done enough to be first ballot hall of famers when I watched my first game. But there's really no denying what Brady's done. For so so long... Manning in his 40th year was throwing ducks all over the place and had a great defence get him over the line. Brady won the MVP and I watched him throw 500 yards in a superbowl at the same age.

That said, I have the same "Rodgers under Belly" theory as some people. I just love watching him play. In a way I don't with Brady.

It's a great question... which prompts the next one... Brady 5 rings... Rodgers 1. Underachieved?

Yes and no. Mainly yes but he has copped injuries a few times which has halted the packers. And the fact the packers have never seemed to get a ver good running back and oline for Rodgers still astounds me, they have always been decent but always relied on Rodgers scrambling to get them out of the shite.

Broncos were good in NFC too.

Yeah that's a good point. As a single player should he have won more superbowls? Maybe. Could he have played better individually? Hmm. That would be a hard case to argue.

Broncos NFC?

No,  Rodgers has overachieved.

Much like Robbie Flower did at the Demons.  Robbie would have gotten into the team of the century if our team had have had more success.  The cruel reality.

The Packers have underachieved in more rrcent times but it's not like we've been a basket-case.  Many NFL fans of poorly performed teams are probably envious of Green Bay. 

But from an overall perspective it is different again #13  # Green & Gold ??

Flacco looked slow, which means the Bills are proper [censored] cos he made them look horrid!


Carolina (falcons are missing their best 2 players on D)
Houston (Tenn qb situation is less than ideal)
Chargers

At their best is Rodgers because he can scramble, he can avoid rushers and throw bombs, he can do anything.

That said, if I had to start from scratch with both players aged 30 and I had a good defense and special teams and enough money to buy some quality offensive players but not break bank I'd go with Brady. Here's why: Obviously any QB is reliant on their scheme and coaching, but I think it's easier to create the system Brady plays in and it's safer for the QB.

This is nitpicking and most will disagree with me but I think Rodgers isn't as easy to coach as people think. I'm not saying he has a good coach, I don't think he does, but he shredded the Bears just staying in the pocket and putting his receivers to work when he had to. He should do that more often but I think he likes to scramble around and make the big plays. 

The knee injury could be a blessing in disguise for Rodgers because he should play more like Brady. Develop insane chemistry with a small group of receivers and receiving backs and just take what's there mechanically marching down the field.

The obvious thing to say there is McCarthy isn't Josh McDaniel's so it's not that easy but I think Rodgers has played at too high a level for too long for any half decent coach to not create a system based on his timing and accuracy if he wanted it.

8 lots of tips in so far ... A shout out reminder to @DemonDave @titan_uranus  @layzie  & @Dr. Gonzo 

Remembering that 2 points are on offer this week. 

Start of the 4th of the early games and some crazy score lines already, got to see if they stay the same way.

Oh Cleveland...

Looks like it wont cost them. FG to win it for Saints.

Led pretty much the whole game... just can’t seal it.


Vikes ice the kicker and the FG is no good!

But Rodgers getting them in range in 31 seconds with no time outs was huge.

Feels like Packers game to lose.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
