Would you rather have Aaron Rodgers now or Peyton in his prime?

I'd like to know some opinions.

very very tough question killer...one i dont know if i can seriously answer.  i do think a rod has more talent around him where as peyton made his into talent.  not that rodgers has not to a degree of course.

peyton.

Good question,  I'd say Peyton. 

peyton, it's not even close.

smartbets - It's not even close? Are you kidding me? Peyton Manning has won 1 super bowl and is a .500 qb in the playoffs.

#18, and yes not even close, GB got a D, bunch of weapon's on O, #18 did everythin himself most of the time!!

This is total man love and borderline (or supressed?)

"I'd rather have a young Aaron Rodgers, too..."

 

Explain how it isnt close???

How many times did Manning have home-field in the playoffs and not make it to the Championship??  A few

How many times did Manning lead his team in 3 road games in the playoffs as a #6 seed???  NONE

Packers have the worst ranked defense in the league right now

Reggie Wayne and Dallas Clark when the Colts were in their prime were better than Jennings and Finley

While Manning was a great game caller and controlling the game, he was a statue back there.

I like the fact when defenses somehow cover all the wrs, Rodgers runs for the big 1st down.

Rodgers is on pace, and has the ability to do something very special the next few years. 

The Packers are very young and a very close team.  These core players arent going to leave. 

This is only Rodgers 4th season, YES 4th SEASON as a starting QB.  He is the favorite to win his 2nd superbowl already

Manning was not putting up numbers like this his 1st 4 seasons.

Mannings numbers:

1st year 56.7% comp 3739 yds 26 td 28 ints

2nd yr 62.1% 4135 26-15

3rd yr 62.5 4413 33-15

4th yr 62.7 4131 26-23

 

Rodgers is BLOWING THOSE STATS AWAY

1st year 63.6 4038 28-13

2nd 64.7 4434 30-7

3rd 65..7 3922 28-11 in only 15 games

4th 72.3% 3168 31-4 in only 11 games so far

 

I dont see how it can be Manning???

 

Even in his prime, Mannings numbers arent even close to what Rodgers has done and is doing. 

Plus, Manning was doing this, with atleast 50% of his game indoors, on turf, in perfect conditions. 

Imagine playing 4 games a year in weather below 30 and snow and wind.

If Rodgers stays healthy, he could turn into one of the best, if not the best ever, if he continues to put up games like he has been doing.

Scary part is, he is only going to get better 

Marvin Harrison, Reggie Wayne and Dallas Clark were better threats than Rodgers has.  Those are 3 hall of fame players.

You telling me that Jennings, Nelson and Jones will ALL be in the hall of fame.

Manning HAD better weapons than Rodgers

how many good pass defenses has rodgers played against this year .... maybe bears and lions ... but lions had a decimated secondary most of game ... when they didn't they shut down gb. 

 

You are right...17 in a row in the NFL....they are very overrated

11-0 this year and 8-3 ATS....this team gets way too much credit

 

GB had the ball for 10 minutes, yes 10 minutes in the 1st half, and still scored 27 points

 

Explain???  People said Rodgers has better weapons.  I wish Rodgers could have Harrison, Wayne and Clark lining up every week     With a running back like Edge James back there as well

they were going three and out every possession ... hows that making your case. 

 

3 and out every possession???  They had 2 possessions and only ran 8 plays.  The first possesion was 5 plays and was hauled because 2 flags and a dropped 2nd and 3rd down pass.  The second drive was flagged again and another 3rd down drop.

It was not Detroit stopping them.

Look what happened when GB stopped dropping the ball

First of all Clark and Wayne are debatable HOF and also a lot of that is because they had Manning throwing them the ball. 

Also i'm pretty sure GB ran more than 8 plays in first half .. their yards per play wasn't pretty.

 

Suh did nothing all game but get 2 flags and give 1st down after 3rd down stops

8 Plays in the 1st quarter.  Had the ball 10 minutes only the 1st half.

 

Well I'm off to sleep. I just think the packers are a very good team. Not a special team that deserves to go undefeated. As for Rodgers this year, great numbers but against who? 

sigh... who cares?

i mean honestly... i love Rodgers, he's gonna be great... but at this point in his career, he is really not even a fragment of what Manning was in his prime... the guy completely redefined what it means to be a game-managing QB...

if you don't immediately understand this fact, you're just another fan shooting off a fan opinion... please just stop with these ridiculous hypotheticals!
