Aaron Rodgers

At one point in time, Aaron Rodgers was considered one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play the game. He looks past that consistent peak. He can still wow fans with throws — his dimes to Davante Adams last week were stunning — but he also misses some easy reads and tends to extend plays at the detriment of his team.

Make no mistake about it, he’s still great. We just hold Rodgers up to an incredibly high standard because we’ve seen his greatness before. We’ve seen him make NFC title games. We’ve seen him win Super Bowls. We’ve seen his creativity lead to plays no one thought could be made. We get it. He’s great.

Rodgers has a chance to reach the pinnacle of the NFL again and to do so he will have to go up against a very strong defensive line and overall defense when they play San Francisco. The Niners absolutely worked the Packers in the regular season. The Packers may need an older version of Rodgers to show up to have a chance at a win.
