On the field, Aaron Rodgers is about as close, in style and play, to Roger Staubach than I've ever seen. I hate saying this, but i really believe it is true. His accuracy, his arm strength, his ability to make big plays in big games, these were the hallmarks of Roger the Dodger.
Rodgers will most likely retire with the best passer rating for a career in history, as did Staubach when he retired.
I'm not talking about personality or demeanor; I'm talking exclusively about what he does during a game. As a defense, if you are winning a game by less than seven with a minute left and Aaron Rodgers takes the field then you know you can't make a mistake. That was the type of pressure that Roger placed on opponent defenses.
I remember Aaron Rodgers sitting in the Green Room during the draft, all the other blue-chip players had been taken and he continued to slide. I actually felt bad for him, and I was happy for him when he won a Super Bowl. With that said, I hate the circumstances behind the Cowboys losing those two playoffs games by inches and seconds. However, was that due more to Aaron's abilities or by the Cowboys having to rely on last second desperation and/or bad officiating?
In the NFL when opposing fans hate a player, that player generally takes it as a sign of respect. Isn't that what it really is?
