Rodgers had a great year last season but the lock out also noticably affected defenses all around the league, especially in the beginning of the season. It wasn't a coincidence that both Brees and Brady toppled Marino's passing yards record in the same season. As the season went on, defenses improved and Rodgers performance declined.
Green Bay didn't face a top 10 defense all year until one knocked him out of the play offs their first post season game. Quarterback rating isn't real. You can't hold it, you can't put it in a trophy case, and it won't win you tough football games. Not to say I wouldn't love to have Rodgers in NY but I don't think he's justified his reputation. If you ask a Packer fan he's already the greatest of all time even though he's only had one great season that went down in flames in the play offs.
He's what I would call a great quarterback. If he wins another ring and repeats last years performance season after season I'll be ready to call him elite in like 2015,
