Funny thing is, I remember after they won the SB in 2010 that a lot of Bear fans were praising Thompson and said they wished he was the Bears GM.

I don't know why you think that means anything to me. Rodgers could very well go on to have a healthy MVP-esque season and it wouldn't change history. He still would have had the same lackluster years we are talking about right now on his record. Go ahead. Pull up this thread this time next year.

Would you want him to be the QB of tour favorite NFL team? If the answer is yes he’s obviously still good, I don’t think anybody disagrees there. However if you can’t name 5 QBs you would rather have on the Bears then he’s still top 5.

I see what you did there. "COACH POTATO"
Meanwhile Bears are trying a kicker named Fry.

I look at the situation he was in and take it with a grain of salt.
He was the entire team for many years and had most of his prime wasted.
an injury year and a down year suck put side by side, but down years happen to all the greats.
That said, his injury year I would toss out and last year wasnt that bad- after all, brady had a lesser year in 2013 and that obviously didnt signal a downslide... same td total, 9 more ints, 100 less yards, and 2% less completion percentage.
It wasnt a story because brady had a complete team around him and he wasnt coming off an injury year.
Luck is a great parallel here as well... he sucked absolute ass before his injury in 2015, and struggled in 16. Bounced back just fine in 17.
Bottom line for my own personal opinion on Rodgers is that his strength is in his decision making and smarts.
Break him down physically and he still would be great- Manning and rivers combined dont have a tenth of Rodgers athletic ability.. But Rodgers has comparable football smarts.
Dude has a quite a few good years left. I am just thankful he never had a decent coaching staff to take full advantage of what he had all those years.

Oh for shit’s sake. Every year we are to fear their latest great running back, only to come back a year later making excuses because they had no RB.
First of all, GB running more and having Rodgers throw less would be good for us, not bad.
Secondly, Rodgers has long been both terrific and his own worst enemy. He just has to go for the highlight play rather than take easy completions. He could be unstoppable if he didn’t stop himself.
People here keep answering the question of his CURRENT status with comments of how great he has been.
The fact is, his recent performance is not at a level of his career best or even his career average.

Staying away from this whole Aaron Rodgers/overrated issue until we're 2-0 against them this year. I will say that's not a bad list. As a tangent, I wanted to highlight the Colts- apparently Colts 1st Round pick Parris Campbell is lighting it up in TC. The Colts are a team to watch. That division is going to be brutal.

I hope that LaFleur is a terrible head coach.

Until Rogers retires, he will be better than any QB we have every had, except maybe Sid, but that was a completely different era.

Mahomes, Brady, Wilson, Luck, Brees, Rivers. These are QB's better than Rodgers right now. If you want to ask who I would take over Rodgers in 2019, the list is much longer

If I could see Rodgers play with Rivers toys for a few games...I feel like I could weigh in. Mike Williams could barely get on the field last year, while Rodgers is throwing to Geronimo Allison and a washed up Graham. It took them 5 years to find Lacy seemingly, and 5 years to find Jones though that seems like an exaggeration.
Their o-line has been solid, but only because they get away with murder. Talent wise they seem to break down and get injured...team has been decimated several times..
The defense puts him in an up hill battle the last few years, and ever since he stopped lifting and switched to yoga he gets his collar bone broke. No mass.
Dude still scares me if they get a modern offense and another receiver or two. They would be another team that might poach a Hall or two were we to expose them. Let them have Gentry.
(Gentry is seriously this generations Tom Waddle...will get cut every year...and will find the field at some point down the road for a game or two, all he is missing is an epic meaningful catch or two at the end of this journey but it don't look like it will come here)

Wouldn't be surprised if Brees wasn't on that tier at the end of the year
