How many would like to place a wager that Rodgers won't be doing what #9 has done when he's 39 years of age ?

How dare you speak ill of the high priest who makes sacrifices to the gods of football at the sacred temple of Green Bay.

Well, what I find amusing is that Brees doesn't get the respect he deserves from the talking heads, even though they generally introduce him as a future 1st round Hall of Famer. Yet, I don't recall anyone, ever using the "Hall of Fame" moniker with the esteemed Mr. Rodgers. Funny?

He is amazing and those who can't see it always amaze me with their ignorance! He is the all time best considering what he's had to work with and his production in spite of team limitations.

I want him to play at his current level for another 5 years. That way, in 35 years, when I turn 100, I will be able to look in the NFL record book and Brees' name will listed next to nearly every QB record.

Errr... Joe Montana is still a bitter pill with me.

The question I want to ask the football pundits is, "If Brady were the same height as Brees, would he be as successful, more specifically, would he have 5 Super Bowl rings as the starting QB?"; the same for Manning, Rothliesberger, etc.

Running backs:
Herschel Walker - no ring
Bo Jackson - no ring
OJ - no ring
Earl Campbell - no rin
Gale Sayers - no ring
Thurman Thomas - no ring
LaDainian Tomlinson - no ring
Eric Dickerson - no ring
Walter Payton - 1 ring
Marshall Faulk - 1 ring

I guess those guys just weren't that good after all.

+ Barry Sanders (no ring)
+ Jim Brown (1 pre Super Bowl championship)
