I'm sorry Sir but Tom Brady is a better quarterback than Rodgers.

You cannot say that because of 5 games, Rodgers has surpassed Brady.

Yes, I understand Brady threw 4 picks against the Bills and has 6 this year. But take a closer look at that stat. Two of Brady's INT's have been dropped out of his receivers (Woodhead and Hernandez) hands and into the hands of a defender, neither of which his fault. And another one was batted at the line and picked off, again not his fault. That brings us to 3 picks in which Brady is responsible. Not bad for 5 games in.

Second, the receiving depth on these teams are not similar. Welker and Jennings are comparable, with an edge to Welker, but after that it isn't close. OchoCinco? Really? Have you seen him play this year? Season high of 45 yards!

Team Record should decide who is better? Tell me how their record 5 games into this season is relevant? Yeah, Brady's team lost a game. Big deal, it happens, they weren't going 16-0.

But if you want to talk winning, one of these guys has 3 Super Bowls and the other has one. Yes, I know Brady has been around longer but its VERY hard to win 3 and we cant assume Rodgers will get there.

Too late to change the basis of the TD, sorry dupe.

There's no doubt Rodgers is better? No doubt? Then tell me how Brady was the unanimous MVP?

Brady can't throw the ball down the field? He averages the same number of yards per completion as Rodgers.

Brady doesn't have that much skill? Really? Then tell me how he had 36 TDs and 4 INT's and is on pace to break the all time record for yards in a season. You seemed to leave out yards in your first argument, coincedence?

Brady doesn't throw Ocho the ball? Then explain Ocho's dropped TD against the Bills.

The receivers aren't comparable. Brady has two slot receivers and 2 second year tight ends. Jennings has a veteran great receiver in Driver, a great wideout in Jennings, and one of the league's best TE's.


So Brady isn't as good as Rodgers because his defense fell apart in the Superbowl in 2007? That's a solid argument.

Weak Giants defense? Yeah, it's they didn't have Strahan or Antonio Pierce or Osi or anything.

Team record separates these two? Please tell me how Brady being 4-1 and Rodgers being 5-0 this season, with no teams in common, makes Rodgers better.

Brady > Rodgers

Brady gave his defense the lead late in the fourth, driving against a good defense. His defense didn't get the job done. Can't blame Brady for that.

Brady averages 3 more passes per game. Don't make it sound like Rodgers never throws.

Plus, Brady consistently faces more guys in the secondary because the Patriots couldn't run up until this week. Rodgers has a run game.

Don't say Driver is easy to cover. We both know that's BS.

Brady only averages 9.6 because of Welker? Then tell me why Gronkowski averages 15 yards a catch (1 less than Welker), and Branch averages 14 per catch. It's not all because of Welker.

Brady throws to Ocho, he drops the ball. Why keep throwing to someone who keeps dropping passes?

You said what Brady does requires no skill. I say your an idiot if you think playing quarterback in the NFL for ANY team requires no skill.

Facts are Brady has won 3 SuperBowls to Rodgers one. Yes, I know he has played longer but there's no guarantees how many times Rodgers will get there that many times. Hell, Rodgers hasn't even won his division before.

Overall, while Rodgers is a great QB, he isn't quite in Brady's level yet.
