Well, let me tell ya somethin’ about these two fellas, Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers. Folks around here love to talk about ‘em, especially when it comes to their stats. Now, Brady, he’s been in the game a long time. If you look at their matchups, Brady got the upper hand most times. They faced each other five times, and Brady’s got 3 wins, while Rodgers snatched 2. But don’t forget, Rodgers got the last laugh with his most recent win.
Brady, he’s the one folks say is the greatest of all time, or GOAT as they call it nowadays. He’s got them 7 Super Bowl rings, which is more than any other quarterback. But let me tell ya, Rodgers ain’t no slouch. Some people out there, they think Rodgers could be the GOAT too. He’s got four MVP awards, just one short of the record set by Peyton Manning, so he’s up there with the best.
Now let’s talk about them playoff stats. Brady, he’s been to the playoffs more times than I can count. He’s got a passer rating of 89.8 with 13,400 yards in the postseason. Rodgers, well, he ain’t been as far as Brady, but he still got himself a passer rating of 100.1 with 5,894 yards in the playoffs. So, if you’re lookin’ at passer ratings alone, Rodgers got the better number there. But Brady’s got the rings, and that’s what people remember most, I reckon.
- Brady’s got 7 Super Bowl rings.
- Rodgers got 1 Super Bowl win but 4 MVP awards.
- Brady’s playoff passer rating is 89.8 with 13,400 yards.
- Rodgers’ playoff passer rating is 100.1 with 5,894 yards.
Now, folks like to argue who’s more clutch. Brady, well, he’s known for showin’ up in the big games. They say Peyton Manning, he’d sometimes freeze up in the playoffs, but Brady, he was always steady. That’s why he’s got all them rings. But Rodgers, he’s been real solid in the regular season. He’s got them MVPs for a reason. He don’t choke, but he ain’t got the team around him like Brady had, maybe that’s why he’s only got one Super Bowl win.
Moneywise, Rodgers is catchin’ up too. He just signed a deal that makes him the highest-paid player in NFL history. His career earnings are sittin’ at $418 million, which beats Brady’s $333 million. And that ain’t even includin’ the $9 million he makes off the field each year. So, if you’re talkin’ money, Rodgers is pullin’ ahead.
But here’s the thing, it’s hard to compare the two exactly. Brady’s been in the league longer, played more playoff games, and won more Super Bowls. But if you look at their individual play, Rodgers is right there with him, maybe even better in some ways. His passer rating, for instance, was 111.9 in 2021 with 4,115 yards. That’s mighty impressive. Brady, he’s got the leadership and experience, and Rodgers, well, he’s got the arm and the smarts on the field.
So, who’s better? I guess it depends on what you care about more. If it’s championships, Brady’s your guy. If it’s MVPs and pure skill, Rodgers might take the cake. But I tell ya, both of ‘em are somethin’ special. We might not see quarterbacks like these two for a long, long time.
