00:00Can we finally say that it's enough of Aaron Rodgers? We're done?

00:03Yes. Yes. Are we done?

00:05We've had enough. We have had enough.

00:07We're good. Six points. We're good.

00:08We're good. 50-yard interception return for a touchdown.

00:11Fumble. Fumble. We're good.

00:13Look, Aaron Rodgers is one of the great quarterbacks of all time.

00:15Yep. First bout of Hall of Famer.

00:17Packers one day are going to retire the jersey. All great.

00:20And at that point, we're only going to remember the good stuff.

00:23Yeah.

00:23The only bad stuff we'll remember when his career is all said and done,

00:27he's in the Hall of Fame, is only one Super Bowl.

00:30And that'll kind of be the legacy aspect of where do you rank Aaron Rodgers

00:34amongst the all-time greats?

00:36Well, he's obviously not Patrick Mahomes. He's got three.

00:39He's not Montana. He's got four.

00:41He's not Aikman. He's got three.

00:43He's obviously not Bradshaw. He's got four, I believe, right?

00:46Yeah, he does. He does.

00:47He's not Tom Brady. He's got 37.

00:50Yeah.

00:51And sad enough to say, while he's twice the quarterback,

00:55Eli Manning ever was, Eli's got two.

00:58Yeah.

00:58Eli's got two.

00:59So you cannot regard Aaron Rodgers as the greatest quarterback of all time.

01:05I know a lot of guys that I happen to be friendly with that played like to say,

01:10and it's a very interesting distinction, best thrower of the ball I've ever seen.

01:16I think he is.

01:16Okay.

01:17I think he is.

01:18Okay.

01:18I can give you that.

01:19Not the best quarterback of all time.

01:21No.

01:21He's on the tier, unfortunately, for him.

01:24Man, it's Hall of Fame tier with Favre, Steve Young, guys like that where, no doubt great,

01:29but if we're picking, you know, we have our all-time fantasy draft.

01:33Yeah.

01:33He's getting picked not in the first round at all.

01:35See, I disagree with that.

01:36I think he's still a first round pick if we did an all-time, you know, draft.

01:40If there's 12.

01:41He's just not.

01:42If we're doing a 12-team draft.

01:42Wait, how are we judging quarterbacks?

01:44Are we going to say for the great of the greats, for quarterbacks only,

01:47because they're in total control of an offense?

01:49Yeah.

01:49Are we going to say Super Bowls do matter?

01:53It matters.

01:54Here's why I say that to you.

01:55It's part of it.

01:56You're a little too young to have seen him really in his prime,

01:59but I would tell you that I've never seen a quarterback better than Dan Marino.

02:04Okay.

02:04And I know Dan Marino only went to one Super Bowl.

02:07Okay.

02:07And never won a damn thing.

02:08Yeah.

02:09But from a standpoint of, if you put that guy on the Montana Niners,

02:15he's got four, maybe five or six.

02:17And that's why I don't think Super Bowls have to be the legacy.

02:21I see.

02:22But the thing is, Dan Marino also, we know from Jimmy Johnson's time,

02:25was selfish.

02:26Dan was about Dan.

02:28Oh.

02:28And I don't think.

02:29No quarterback isn't, right?

02:30No.

02:30I'll tell you, Joe Montana had no issues whatsoever.

02:34Joe Montana had Roger Craig, Dan Marino, not a running back.

02:37No, no, no, no.

02:37He didn't want a running back.

02:38When Jimmy Johnson got there, Jimmy Johnson said, hey, how about we run the ball some?

02:42And Dan said, nope.

02:43We're going to do what I do.

02:45So, what I mean by this is, if we were doing a 12-team all-time football fantasy game.

02:50Dan Marino's on mine.

02:51You're saying he gets in that top 12?

02:52He's on mine.

02:53I don't believe he gets in that.

02:54Oh, yeah.

02:54It's one of these silly arguments.

02:55He's on mine.

02:56I'll tell you what.

02:56If Marino is, then Rodgers isn't, because they're not both going in the top 12.

03:00Oh, I think.

03:00Because LT, LT's got to be in there.

03:02Somebody's going to go regular.

03:03Oh, I thought you said just quarterbacks.

03:04No, no, you're doing an all-time.

03:05I'm talking about Tom Brady going to that top 12, no doubt about it.

03:09Tom Brady's a top 12 football player.

03:11Period.

03:11Yes.

03:12Absolutely.

03:12Aaron Rodgers isn't.

03:13Brett Favre isn't.

03:14Steve Young isn't.

03:15They don't get picked in that top 12.

03:18That, to me, is how you separate is these guys were beyond just quarterbacks.

03:21They were elite football players, and Rodgers had moments.

03:25I mean, he has like three, four MVPs.

03:27But when you look at the whole body of work, to me, he goes in the second or third round all time.

03:31He's got four MVPs, which nobody's got more.

03:34Super impressive.

03:35People say that he threw the ball better than anybody else.

03:38He did.

03:39His number's going to be retired by the Packers.

03:41Will.

03:41But I've got to be honest with you.

03:42I'm just tired of him.

03:44What is that, too?

03:44That's Pittsburgh's problem now.

03:46He was my problem for two years.

03:48First year, he gets the injury.

03:50So that's a wash.

03:52That's a write-off.

03:53And then last year, it was just a clown show out of him.

03:56I'm just happy, and I'm hoping that he retires because, like, I'm done.

04:02I've reached my saturation point with Aaron Rodgers.

04:05Great quarterback.

04:06Maybe he goes to the TV one day.

04:08I don't know what he's going to do.

04:09But I'm done.

04:10Yeah, and also, unfortunately, he was pretty quiet for a while there in Green Bay.

04:16And in hindsight, that was a good thing.

04:18The more we heard from Aaron Rodgers, I'm going to talk about politics.

04:20The less I liked him.

04:21The less everybody liked him.

04:22Yes.

04:22Not just you, everybody.

04:23Because he's douchey.

04:24Yeah, that's how he comes off.

04:25He's a liar.

04:26We found that out.

04:27He's a liar.

04:28With the COVID stuff, right?

04:28Yeah, it wasn't that he didn't because Lamar Jackson was honest.

04:31Lamar Jackson showed up to camp and goes, no shots for me.

04:34Everybody's like, okay.

04:35He goes, I'm immunized.

04:37Oh, well, he just lied.

04:38Like, he just comes up.

04:40I'm going to go into a cave by myself.

04:42Then there's footage of him going in a cave by himself.

04:45How's their footage of your body?

04:46Well, because when you have a documentary deal, you have to take anything.

04:49I don't know.

04:50Like, I'm glad Aaron Rodgers didn't score a touchdown yesterday.

04:52I only got six points.

04:54I'm glad he threw a 50-yard interception for a touchdown.

04:58That made me happy.

04:59Him being, you know, introverted after the game and introspective, that made me happy.
