Aaron Rodgers is now the NFL's all-time-leading passer (most yards) through first career 100 games. Tony Romo had held record.

Who was Romo throwing to? Keyshawn Johnson and Terry Glenn?

Also, I'm not entirely serious. Rodgers is an amazing quarterback, especially with the awful O-Lines he's had in Green Bay.

hahahahahahah....that was a good joke this morning.

This is as of mid-last season, but it still holds true:

The Packers are just 5-24 (.172) in games when Rodgers had the ball in the fourth quarter, trailing by 1-8 points. Five comebacks in 29 tries? Tony Romo, considered by some to be a choker, led five comeback wins in the 2012 season alone. Among active starters, only Cam Newton (2-16) has a worse record than Rodgers.

ya....5-24 is some BIG TIME elevation there in winnable games ROFL. Thats the WORST in the nfl.

Some dont realize it, but this makes Rodgers actually the worst choker in the nfl among all starters. He aint elevating jack squat.

It is true Rodgers QB rating drops from roughly 110 when leading or tied to 100.6 when trailing.

More interestingly, ProFootball Reference indicates Rodgers only had a 65.4 QB rating when trailing with less than 2 minutes left in the game. The crazy thing about that stat is according to the metrics, Rodgers has only thrown 65 passes total in his entire career when trailing with less than 2 minutes left in the game. That's an insanely small sample size which basically indicates Rodgers very rarely is trailing in games.

Romo, for example, has thrown 178 passes when trailing with less than 2 minutes left in the game and in those situations Romo's QB rating is an incredible 103.4.

In summary -- Rodgers is probably the best ever QB, from a statistical perspective, when leading which is the majority of the for Packers in Rodger's career, however, in the rare occasions he's been asked to bring them back from behind during a 2 minute drill, he's is very very mortal -- probably due to his absolute refusal to force passes -- which is pretty much a requirement when trying to come from behind in a 2 minute drill.

Their passing schemes are amazing and it takes a lot of pressure off of having a bad OL...

Wish we did just some of the stuff they do in Green Bay.

5-24 is 29 games, yes? Yes.

How many games had he played by September of last year? Approximately 86. That means that in 34% of his games played he is trailing. And only 5% of games that he is trailing in does he win.

Good try of twisting stats to say he is always leading. But, 1/3 of his games he is trailing and almost always loses. That is straight HORRIBLE. I dont care if he's been on 80 superbowl winning teams. Its straight bad.

The reason? The same reason he typically doesnt have a lot of INT's...he doesnt take the chances.

When the game is on the line, instead of going Romo or Montana and clutching it, he folds like a lawn chair that rosie O'Donnell just sat in.

Id rather have someone like Tony who will take the chance to win the game instead of folding.
