    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 ??

    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.

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

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

    That hit by Clay Matthews on Cousins as he threw a INT is super costly, tied game.

  • Quote

    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.

    Vikes have their FG attempt in OT iced and now GB has the ball, next score wins!

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
