Aaron Rodgers isn't fair

I don't think I've ever seen a quarterback playing at his level before.

Yes, that includes 2007 Brady and 2003(or was it 2004?) Manning.

The guy is just UNfugINGREAL!

72.9% completion, 2,869 yards, 9.7 YPA, 28TD / 3INT, 130.7 QB rating

The 9.7 YPA is by FAR the most impressive to me. To have a 72.9% completion is absurd enough, but to do it while throwing down field and not just dink and dunking(I'm looking at you, Matt Ryan).. fug. We could be watching the greatest season by a quarterback in the history of the NFL.

I have him on one of my five FF teams. The team has only won twice. :(

Sadly, he's not superman. Oddly, I have Cam on three of the teams and all three teams have seven wins thus far. :)

I am 7-3 with him on one of my fantasy teams. After Sun...I was behind by 27 points and between the 2 teams, there was only 1 player left to play. I had Rogers. He got 28 points and the win.

Brady in 2007 was actually better (these stats through 8 games):

Yards: Rodgers: 2,619; Brady, 2,431

Touchdowns: Brady, 30; Rodgers, 24

Interceptions: Brady, 2; Rodgers, 3;

Completion percentage: Brady, 75.2; Rodgers, 72.5

OB rating: Brady, 131.1; Rodgers, 129.7

Yards per completion: Brady, 11.51; Rodgers, 9.88

First I'll address Rodgers. The dude is on fire, but he did get to learn behind one of the best QB's of all time in Favre. A lot of his success stems from watching Favre do his thing. I mean when I sit down and watch him play, he plays just like Favre did. He's an extremely hard worker as well, and then the natural talent just puts people in awe. I'm not too sure what happened between him and Favre but it obviously wasn't good. It's a shame if you ask me.

Now in to GB's defense, or lack there of...

Anybody else think it's sad that WE have been the closest to beating them when we still had a pretty much injury free defense?? If they go on to be undefeated I'll literally throw up!

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
